Video: Andy Ellis flashes 'Blue Steel' at New Zealand Fashion Week

We may have grown accustom to seeing the likes of Andy Ellis, Hika Elliot, and DJ Forbes in all black, but rumour has it they don't mind some fluoro.

The three took to the catwalk during New Zealand Fashion Week for Jockey underwear, but Forbes said his 15-a-side buddies prefer the colourful options.

"I know the boys are trying to deny it, but I saw them picking out the fluoros before the basics," said Forbes.

"I know there is pink, highlighter green and these guys were picking them first."

While Forbes was disappointed for "not nailing" his catwalk performance, Ellis said his practice in the bathroom mirror was crucial for the night.

"I knew this was coming up so I worked a couple of things to tweak my game," Ellis said.

All Blacks legend Michael Jones and former All Blacks coach John Hart will join Hamish McKay and the 3 News team along with opinions from other greats of the game and the team itself.
