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.

    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?

    I think it's real.

    But let's agree on the pointless!!

    If that was fake it was pretty pointless

    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...

    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.

    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

    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.
