TOO HOT FOR CLOTHES at the national provincial sevens tournament in Queenstown Saturday, 10 January 2009.

At the final between North Harbour and Counties Manukau, at the New Zealand National 7's tournament, a young lady ran gleefully around the ground without anyone giving chase.

Her moment in the sun, so to speak, came to an end when she eventually got sick of the antic and went searching for her clothes, which happened to be just in front of where the news media were.

The organisers' refreshing approach to running a sporting event reflected in the lack of trouble. Not one arrest was made in Queenstown on Saturday, which suggests giving the customers, the spectators, a longer leash wasn't that harmful.
