Wellington - The Nude Blacks are to meet the Welsh Leeks in a nude rugby international match organised by Otago University students to be held in the New Zealand city of Dunedin on Saturday.
The weather is, unfortunately, forecast to be fine for the annual game, organiser Ralph Davies told Thursday's Otago Daily Times. "We prefer Antarctic southerlies and about 3 degrees just to challenge the players a bit," he said.
Davies said the Welsh were expected to have a "formidable" team to meet local students who make up the Nude Blacks - a pun on the name of the national rugby team known as the All Blacks.
The game will precede a scheduled conventional international between the All Blacks and the visiting Wales team in the city.
The paper said hundreds turned up to watch last year's nude rugby match at which the highlight was a clothed streaker.
