When two worlds collide, there can be only one outcome - photographs...
RUCK scoured the archives for snapshots of the more unusual meetings between rugby-folk and fully-fledged showbizzers (also, some people who were momentarily famous in the 90s and are now retrospectively hilarious).
1. Jonah Lomu & Robin Williams
By the end of their first meeting actor Robin Williams was perched like a smiling child on top of All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu's broad shoulders.
It was the beginning of an unlikely friendship that lasted for life with Lomu penning an emotional tribute after the actor died in 2014.

5. Jason Momoa at the Sevens
Eponymous star of the Aquaman movie Jason Momoa was cheering on the Kiwis at the Vancouver leg of World Rugby's sevens series at BC Place Stadium.
Attired in an old-school, non-branded All Blacks jersey from a distant era, Momoa roared the New Zealand sevens side on from the stands, and then met them in their dressing-room.
