The video was uploaded to the official Rugby World Cup Facebook page and attracted 11 million views within hours. Lock Brodie Retallick said the All Blacks' performance had been approved before they left New Zealand to compete. He said: 'We discussed it in camp in Wellington. We thought it was something we could do for the group that we could do and it would bring us together."
