It was grins all round as All Black great Richie McCaw hung out with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks backstage on Saturday.
Two photos posted by McCaw on Facebook show the former All Black captain and his girlfriend Gemma Flynn cuddling up to Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.
In one of the photos, the couple are joined by the All Blacks' coach Steve Hansen and his partner Tash Marshall - both sporting wide smiles - with Nicks holding up an All Blacks jersey from the 2015 World Cup.
McCaw and Hansen were among the 38,000 people who turned out at Mt Smart Stadium last night for the second to last night of Fleetwood Mac's 15-month world tour 'On With The Show', with torrential rain doing nothing to dampen their spirits.
The pictures have received more than 4000 likes on Facebook, many fans taking the opportunity to joke about the rarity of a Hansen grin.
"That moment when Steve Hansen actually smiles but you don't recognise him no more!," Pham Thai Ly wrote.
Damo Clifford agreed: "Shag with out his game face."
"Never seen Coach so relaxed," Gail-Sharon Aue wrote.

A number of All Blacks wrote that Nicks was also lucky to meet McCaw, with the All Blacks captain looking relaxed in the wake of last week's announcement he would hang up his boots.
It is understood Nicks dedicated a song to McCaw and Hansen during the concert.
"I don't no who's luckier her or you!!!! Amazing night," Angela Law wrote.
"Whoa! steve nicks got to meet Richie McCaw!!!!," Hemi Moeroa wrote, with a smiling emoticon.
Judy Gillings agreed: " Two Legends in the one room..sorry..three with Steve Hansen!!"
