The All Blacks Compete In A Tank-Driving Contest

Kevin Mealamu is a talented individual. Not only is the master of getting away with blatant head butts (yawn), but also he is pretty masterful at driving a tank. Competing with fellow ABs Conrad Smith and Piri Weepu, Mealamu shows that even if he was out of rugby for months, he could combine his head butting and tank-driving skills to become quite the serviceman.

Ever wondered what would happen if you put a testosterone-fuelled All Black in a tank? Well here is your answer. The three competitors are challenged to complete a course in an armoured tank, the purpose of which is to avoid a series of tyres. The winner, well, you’ll have to wait and see what the prize is for coming first, but it’s no wonder these guys are playing with so much freedom at the minute: look at the therapy they get off the field!

Maybe next we can have the Springboks playing against the ABs in a game of tank-rugby? Something for a few of the sports brands to consider endorsing perhaps.

Want to try your hand at driving a tank? Well, Tanks For Everything offer this distinct experience to the public – something you can try when you travel to New Zealand to follow the Bokke at next year’s World Cup. Think about it.
