Former All Blacks and Chiefs hardman Liam Messam has revealed a time where he was sent onto the field in a Bledisloe Cup test in an attempt to cool down heads.
The game played out at Eden Park was the final one in New Zealand before the All Blacks jetted off for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. It will be remembered mainly as the final run-out for former skipper Richie McCaw and other soon-to-be retirees as their last game on Kiwi soil.
Along with that, some with impressive memories may remember a scuffle that broke out in the first half.
Writing for The XV, Messam recounts the match where he was not part of the matchday squad and instead the water boy.
A fight erupted 30 minutes after kick-off, one the 43-capped former player was told to get involved in by coaches upstairs. "It was early, but still a really crucial moment of the game and this little scuffle was unfolding when I hear in my earpiece, 'Hunger, get in there, stop them!'" Messam writes.
