All Blacks take down coptercam at training

Here's a look at the video many of you are talking about, as Israel Dagg of the All Blacks takes down a pesky coptercam with a swift and accurate throw of a rugby ball. Genuine, or another viral marketing ploy from the All Black brand and their sponsors? You decide.

Kind of tired of these videos. I'm sure most sports fans would rather see some genuine skill instead of camera tricks and video editing.

I don't think this was a trick as it wouldnt really be thar hard to hit the camera from that close, but it definitely was a pre organised situation

I think it is a trick, mainly due to how poor the kicking was- an international back should really be able to hit a very slow moving, ball sized object without that much problem.

Are you serious? In what sport do you have to kick a moving target in the air? It's a very difficult piece of skill and throwing it is 1000 times easier. Dagg's throw was real but the All Blacks obviously set up the camera copter.

I'm not sure about camera tricks or editing, it looked like what we saw might have been genuine, as others have said, it was probably pre-arranged...

Either way it was quite amusing..Not so sure about a sponsorship ploy... I don't necessarily have an urge to go out and buy something made by Adidas... no more than I already did before watching the video...

Some light hearted (I assume, unless it wasn't pre-arranged!) fun...

If that was fake it was pretty pointless

I find it very easy to believe that the all blacks are just scum-bags that don't care about breaking other peoples stuff.

The one thing that makes me think it's a setup is how when it falls, the players make sure to celebrate within camerashot. Also, wouldn't a training session have more than 5 or 6 guys?
