All Black Beauden Barrett has revealed that he drank cow's milk out of the Rugby World Cup trophy after taking the famous silverware to his family farm.
It's more common for rugby trophies to be filled with amber liquid but in an interview with CNN, the All Blacksfirst five-eighth said it was a different local drop that got used.
Barrett said he brought the Webb Ellis Cup to the family farm in Taranaki and his father Kevin, who played 167 matches for Taranaki, filled the trophy with milk.
"Creamy white milk looks so good in the gold cup," Barrett told CNN.
The Canes were comprehensively beaten by the Crusaders in Christchurch last weekend after sneaking home 20-19 against the Waratahs in Sydney in the opener.
