Rugby is a game known for its full-body contact.

But viewers in New Zealand got more than they bargained for when they tuned in to watch "Grassroots Rugby" Sunday afternoon.

Prime Television is a free-to-air kiwi television station that was to air the rugby show, but apparently got their signals crossed.

Instead of the sporting program they played four minutes of hard-core pornography.

What the sports fans saw, a movie entitled "Desperate Black Wives 2", was intended for an adult pay-per-view channel called Spice.

Rival networks in the area reported that parents were outraged, some claiming that their children's innocence was lost as a result of the mix-up.

A spokesman for the station blames the slip-up on an error in the "distribution process."
