We're a big fan of contact sports, especially when they're played in the nude.

Our friends at Outsports have provided us with some photos of New Zealand's Nude Blacks rugby team competing against South Africa's Springbox. (We don't know what any of that means.)

They've generously edited the photos so that they're moderately suitable for work, but the video that we're providing a link to most certainly isn't. 

Enjoy the athletic prowess after the jump!
