Auckland, August 06: Running around in the buff with a bunch of men playing rugby is all in a day’s work for Auckland woman Rachel Scott and the reaction to her nude rugby appearance has surprised her.
Videos of Scott, 21, and other players in a nude rugby game, played at Dunedin’s Logan Park before the All Blacks-Fiji test last month, have gone viral with more than four million views and attention from countries in Europe, the Otago Daily Times has reported.
Scott was the focus of the clip which shows her drinking in the pre-match warm-up, celebrating a try and being tackled to the ground by burly and similarly clad men.
Scott, a student in marketing, clothing, science and textiles at the University of Otago, told the paper she had no regrets about her naked display despite initial concerns about how her family in Auckland would react.
She said that a few more people had recognised her in the street since her appearance but aside from that life was all but normal.
Scott said despite being named player of the day she was unsure whether she would put her hand up for a nude rugby game again.
The nude rugby game was the unofficial curtain raiser for the All Blacks test and has been a pre-match fixture of Dunedin All Blacks tests for a number of years.
