A festival atmosphere descended on Dunedin on Saturday with a unique highlight being an annual touch rugby game being played at nearby St Kilda beach. The only catch - the players were nude.

With body paint distinguishing each side from the other, one the All Blacks and the other South Africa, the young men of Dunedin performed a haka, enacted closely-knit lineouts and weren't afraid to pile into a tackle or two.

Luckily for the competitors the weather was rather balmy for the Southern centre - 15 degrees and sunny.
