To tie in with the Rugby World Cup, New Zealand comedy duo Jono and Ben decided to recreate the highlights of the France vs. New Zealand game with one crucially furry difference: instead of humans, the players were two teams of equally baffled looking kittens, and the "ball" was a small wind-up toy mouse.

We think it's very, very important for the world of sport that kitten rugby becomes a permanent fixture in the calendar.
