A naked player was left red-faced after he was televised changing during the prematch pep talk in Otago's changing room before last Wednesday night's ITM Cup match against Northland. The footage lasted for about 10 seconds and left the player shocked when he learned he had bared himself during a live broadcast.

Otago manager Grant Hubbard said the player was a "dirty dirty", a term used for non-playing squad members, who had assisted with the warm-ups and insisted the incident wasn't a prank.

"He had been warming up and was then getting changed, he was totally innocent, basically,'' Hubbard said. ''He didn't even think about it. It was just one of those moments, it was unfortunate and not a good look, but we are not too worried about it. Sky are probably just as embarrassed as the guy in the shot was.''

This isn't the first time players and coaches have been caught in compromising positions by television cameras.

Former All Blacks flanker Jerry Collins was caught urinating on the Lancaster Park turf before the test against Australia in 2006, and also dropped an F-bomb during a post-match interview in Argentina. While Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has been filmed twice throughout the season while giving the Waratahs some interesting forms of prematch pep talks.
