Sam Wallace wanted to make a gigantic splash. Instead he flopped spectacularly.
The TVNZ weather presenter used this morning's Breakfast broadcast to attempt to recreate a recent viral video that showed a man jumping off a pier with a rugby ball between his legs, sending the ball high into the sky.
"This is the ball bomb, or manu," said Wallace, introducing the clip. "He jumps in, releases brilliantly, sends it high into the air and that's just a remarkable result."
Stripping down to his togs, Wallace attempted to recreate the bomb, only to flop spectacularly.
