All Black prop Angus Ta'avao proved a smooth operator when a phone rang in front of him during a media conference.
Veteran Brit journalist Ian Chadband left his phone on the top table to record the latest All Black World Cup press conference in Beppu.
But he mistakenly left the phone on and his boss Wayne Hickson happened to call during the conference.
Ta'avao didn't miss a beat, picking up the phone after checking the caller ID.
"Hickson! How you going?" said Ta'avao in a monotone voice.
