Aussie newspaper takes cheeky dig at All Blacks' 'senior citizens'

Some All Blacks veterans have been given a cheeky reminder of their age by an Australian newspaper ahead of Saturday's Bledisloe decider in Auckland.

Sonny Bill Williams, Sam Whitelock and captain Kieran Read were all transformed by Sydney's Daily Telegraph into silver foxes using the popular Faceapp tool.

The Daily Telegraph took another jab by headlining the story attached to the images as "Wallabies warned not to take All Blacks' senior citizens lightly".

The taunts come after the All Blacks lost to the Wallabies in Perth last week 47‑26.

All Blacks play the Wallabies at 7.35pm Saturday.
