Without doubt, rugby is the most popular sport in New Zealand. The Chiefs is the famous local rugby team in Hamilton. A rugby game played by the Chiefs is a good material to show how bodies are gendered and sexualised. Obviously, the Chiefs is a male rugby, only the fitness survives. Under this environment, all the players are muscular and strong, a 100% match with the tradition masculine stereotype of male (Johnston, 1996). May be you are just a mama boy when you first played rugby, but gradually the environment will shaped your bodies. Once the ball kicked off, there will be no mercury.
