Former Wallabies lock Justin Harrison has recounted the eye-watering details of being tasered while on tour with the Brumbies in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Harrison's new 'Tall Tales with Goog' segment on Stan Sport's Rugby Heaven<\/em><\/a> is already producing some gold and this blast from the past was enough to make even the most hardened forward wince (watch the video in the player above).<\/p>\n

Take it away, Goog.<\/p>\n

\"Tahs<\/p>\n

"I'm on tour in South Africa and this is a team building exercise – we were waiting around to play paintball," Harrison explained.<\/p>\n

"There was was a bit of a delay, a few conversations around, I'm not really paying much attention. One of the particular conversations was a bit of a 'would you, wouldn't you,' sort of 'a or b' scenario.<\/p>\n

"I answered 'yes' to the question, thinking it was a rhetorical question, not realising that the apparatus in question was actually there and available. That's a taser."<\/p>\n

Through gritted teeth, Harrison then commentated while watching the traumatic footage, as a grinning Stephen Larkham 'supported' him.<\/p>\n

"That's a six foot eight man losing complete control of his body and having an out of body experience," Australia's Rugby Union Players' Association chief executive said.<\/p>\n

"It's like being harpooned. Two prods in my back – it's like those half tennis balls that you turn molecules inside out and flip it. It's like that's really happening, really, really fast, thousands of times. Normally on tour, you go to South Africa and get a nice gift at the airport, lastminute.com for your wife or something.<\/p>\n

"When I came home from that tour, it's probably not the best answer when your wife says 'how did you go, how was the trip?' And I said 'yeah it was great, I got tasered'."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fellow Rugby Heaven<\/em> panellist Morgan Turinui then inquired as to whether Harrison required new underwear after the experience.<\/p>\n

"Body control, bodily functions is one of the things that goes apparently, when you get tasered," Harrison replied, before host Roz Kelly thankfully moved the conversation along.<\/p>\n

"We do not condone tasering here at Rugby Heaven<\/em>," Kelly confirmed.<\/p>\n

"A mental image about those underpants you will not get out of your mind."<\/p>\n
