Fashion Week has created a storm in an AB-cup, with some of rugby's most famous faces taking over the catwalk for Jockey underwear.
All Blacks Malakai Fekitoa, Hika Elliot and Andy Ellis, and newly appointed Sevens captain Scott Curry and outgoing captain DJ Forbes, wore undies – and nothing else – in a Designer Selection show at day three of the annual frockfest.
The players showcased the label's "Behind Every Great Man" summer campaign and were joined by Kiwi model Nikki Phillips on the main runway at the Auckland Viaduct Events Centre.

Strobe lighting and a live rendition of the White Stripes' Seven Nations Army signalled the start of the players' parade. The music helped, because it was more stomp than walk, as Fekitoa led the catwalk charge.
Elliot – more comfortable in a very different front row – admitted to a bad case of the nerves. But the hooker also struck an unlikely blow for plus-size models.
