Rugby Player Relieves Himself On Field

Apparently I've underestimated the importance of starting rugby games on time and with all the players on the field. In fact, the need is such that all other considerations are moved aside, and I do mean all. Problem is that, in this wondrous age of cameras everywhere and *ludicrous speed* internet-fication of anything remotely amusing and related to, how do I put this...crap, there is no chance in hell something like this goes unnoticed:

New Zealand has reacted with indifference to Jerry Collins's unplanned call of nature before the Tri-Nations match against Australia Saturday.

The loose forward was caught on camera on bended knee, discreetly relieving himself on the pitch moments before kickoff.

Assistant New Zealand coach Steve Hansen described the incident as unfortunate.

Hansen said he would be offering Collins simple advice.

"'See if you can get your ablutions done before you get out on the track'," he said.

It would seem, after a first reading, that New Zealand must have very smelly but well "fed" grass in their rugby fields. And nice weather. From Reuters.
