Maybe I Should Follow Rugby A Little More

I have always been a fan of rugby, especially the international game. The skill and courage to play a sport that vicious without pads puts ruggers in a class all by themselves.

Internationally, the sport rivals soccer/"football" for popularity in some corners of the globe, especially New Zealand, where the Kiwis are rabid supporters of their clubs and the "All Blacks" National team. Well, I think I may have found yet another reason to support rugby in New Zealand.

It seems one of the networks accidentally fed the wrong footage across the airwaves while broadcasting the Kiwis' beloved sport, leading to the airing of a hardcore adult movie. 

Parents were outraged at the programming blunder, one father told 3 News his 8-year-old son's innocence had been ruined.

Within minutes of the images going on air, 3 News was flooded with calls from distressed viewers.

A Whangarei 12-year-old was horrified, running around with her hands over her eyes saying "eww" and "gross".

An Auckland woman watched in disbelief as the rugby turned to Desperate Black Wives 2. She said it left little to the imagination.

A Port Waikato viewer said it was not something he wanted to see as he was watching Grass Roots Rugby.

New Zealand Rugby:

Come For The Game, Stay For The Pr0n.
