Video: The All Blacks show off their Happy Gilmore and other golfing skills in Castleknock

You would expect that some members of the finest rugby team on the planet to be dab hands at other sports and three of the All Blacks squad were keen to illustrate the point this week during their down time.

You would expect that some members of the finest rugby team on the planet to be dab hands at other sports and three of the All Blacks squad were keen to illustrate the point this week during their down time.

Andrew Hore, Tom Taylor and Aaron Smith were practicing their golf skills at the Castleknock Hotel and the lads are pretty nifty.

Starting out with a closest to the pin challenge, they soon turned their attentions to other objects on the course and naturally the Happy Gilmore golf trick was pulled out of the bag.

Prop forward Hore surprised us with his nimble technique, but scrum half Smith looked the most accomplished for our money.

We’re hoping their accuracy isn’t quite so good in the Aviva this Sunday.
