One Direction and flying balls -- it's a recipe for late-night gold.

The four remaining members of the mega-popular boy band made their first late-night TV appearance since Zayn Malik's departure, stopping by Thursday's The Late Late Show With James Corden. Corden, like any human with eyes, knew this was his opportunity to get the boys into short shorts and have them throw balls at a group of women.

In a game of dodgeball, of course.

Highlights included: wheelbarrow training, Harry getting hit in the balls, Niall getting mouth-to-mouth and James scolding Harry for his new 'do: "You look like you're in a Hanson tribute band."

Unfortunately, the boys, on team Corden's Angels, lost. This never would've happened on Zayn's watch.
