The Nude Blacks have again donned their "clothes" to play their traditional pre-test match in Dunedin today.

A blind referee officiated in today's match between the nude Bottom Bus team and the semi-clothed Feejee Experience side.

The Logan Park match, which is played before any All Blacks test in the city, attracted a large crowd of fans.

The teams' efforts also drew strong media interest including an Australian-based production team which filmed the match for German television.

The All Blacks play Fiji at Carisbrook Stadium tonight.

We're far from unique in having games of naked rugby or football but that doesn't matter. I commend these rugby players for doing a fine job and doing their bit to make the world a better place. Anything to counter the cycle of decrepitude, shame and prudishness hinted in the article "Germans Shy Away from Nudity."

As a fellow never-nude, I salute the people in the blue Kiwi Experience shorts for embracing our culture! Shame on the rest of you with low self esteem.

Ah Rugby, so lovely and homoerotic. I'm glad as a nation we are getting in touch with ourselves, so to speak.
