The very top of my Christmas list!!!

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- The New Zealand Rugby Union has come up with an unusual piece of memorabilia: a poster containing DNA from every member of this year's All Blacks.

The Bonded by Blood limited-edition posters are being made by sportswear manufacturer Adidas. The poster shows the All Blacks performing a traditional Maori haka or war dance and contains DNA taken from sterilized blood samples provided by each player.

"Each All Black gave a small amount of blood which was then sterilized and used to create the limited-edition run of Bonded by Blood posters," Adidas' New Zealand marketing manager Craig Waugh said.

Adidas has been an All Blacks sponsor since 1999 and issues team posters annually."This year we wanted to do something different to reflect the depth of support All Blacks fans give to their team," Waugh said.

"Adidas believes rugby is an essential part of New Zealand's DNA and we wanted to show how the players and their supporters are inextricably linked -- how supporting the All Blacks is in our blood,"All Blacks captain Richie McCaw endorsed the poster."It's a new thing. It's something that's pretty cool," he said. "The All Blacks team is all about combining everyone together and blood is one way to do it."

New Zealand Blood Service chief executive Dr. Graeme Benny said the blood used in the posters had been heated to 121 degrees Celsius so any viruses and bacteria were killed.

The limited-edition posters are given to fans who buy a replica All Blacks jersey and can't be bought separately.
