Midweek Madness - The Top Five Best Game-Day Entertainment Showings Ever

BY Grant Constable  ·  Wednesday May 15, 2013

Rugby HQ’s Top Five’s are back and today as part of our Midweek Madness slot we’re looking at their choice of the best ever unique, weird and wonderful pieces of game-day entertainment. You may have seen before, but most will be a first!

What we’ve done again this week is show you the other five that didn’t quite make the cut, as Sean Maloney and the crew at Fox Sports were kind enough to share those too.

The Sharks girls were a shoo-in, but there’s also some crazy fireworks, a parachutist getting caught on the crossbar (yes, you read correctly), and Jonah Lomu, er.. dancing?

In the Top Five this week there are some cheerleaders that were deemed too sexy, there’s push ups on the ground and on surfboards, and there’s chaos in Dunedin as the Highlanders’ famous warrior mascot threw his weight about to protect a little person.

There’s also a half naked lady presenting the match ball in Paris.

#10 – The Selwyn Ballet in Dunedin before last year’s NZ vs SA Test


#9 – Jonah Lomu showing his rhythm at the RWC 2011 opening ceremony


#8 – Sharks v Reds in Durban in 2002, and things going slightly wrong prematch


#7 – Almighty fireworks for a Chiefs game in Pukekohe last season


#6 – The Sharks cheerleaders, some of the best in the business.
