Perspective + height difference = hilarity.

Sam Whitelock is a hulk of a man - 6'8" and tipping the scales at about 18-stone. John Key is the Prime Minister of New Zealand, has a hair colour that belies his 54 years and is just shy of 5'9". Key, as is his political wont, dropped into the All Blacks dressing room, on Saturday, after he witnessed the world champions beat South Africa 20-18. He shared a couple of bottles of Steinlager with the rain-soaked ABs and was then introduced to Whitelock. No more words are needed... South Africa v New Zealand - Semi Final: Rugby World Cup 2015
