Cure Kids - Team Ball Player Thing

Despite warnings from Jemaine Clement that it might be a dangerous idea, 'Team Ball Player Thing' repeats the winning formula used on 2012 charity song 'Feel Inside (and stuff like that)'. Cute Kiwi children throw around lyrical ideas, involving unicorns, magic wands and carrots. After a brainstorming session, their ideas are turned into an inspirational music video by a star-studded cast of singers, actors, and All Blacks on top of unicorns — unicorns that shoot lasers. Taika Waititi leads the mission both on and off-screen. The song set out to support the All Blacks, while raising money for Cure Kids for research into Batten disease.

You could play the game before the other team arrives / You could literally score hundreds of uncontested tries...
