The latest Air New Zealand safety video may feature some of the biggest names in world rugby but an elderly streaker has the starring role.

The in-flight video, which is launched by the airline on Monday, features All Blacks captain Richie McCaw and coach Graham Henry as pilots.

Fellow All Blacks Mils Muliaina, Conrad Smith and Richard Kahui also provide cameos.

Along with Air New Zealand staff, the rugby players go through the usual in-flight routine littered with rugby terms such as 'Crouch, touch and brace yourself on the seat in front of you' and 'If you find yourself needing to smoke on this flight, consider yourself dropped'.

The video features Super 14 and ITM Cup fans making up the passengers along with a lone Australian supporter.

The video ends with a Jonah Lomu-loving elderly woman streaking up the aisle of the plane.

The new in-flight video will replace the current body-paint version from the start of next week.
