Dressing room snap of Sam Whitelock and New Zealand Prime Minister evokes Hobbit comparisons

Perspective + height difference = hilarity.

Sam Whitelock is a hulk of a man - 6'8" and tipping the scales at about 18-stone. John Key is the Prime Minister of New Zealand, has a hair colour that belies his 54 years and is just shy of 5'9". Key, as is his political wont, dropped into the All Blacks dressing room, on Saturday, after he witnessed the world champions beat South Africa 20-18. He shared a couple of bottles of Steinlager with the rain-soaked ABs and was then introduced to Whitelock. No more words are needed. South Africa v New Zealand - Semi Final: Rugby World Cup 2015 We bet they partied it up until they were broomed out of the dressers. https://youtu.be/3jsk-Y9SOOY
