All Blacks pin-up Mark "Sharky" Robinson has been linked with one of Hollywood's hottest babes - The OC star Mischa Barton.
Sharky, 30, who now plays for English club Northampton, met Mischa, 20, at the Rock The Polo party at swanky Windsor nightclub Chinawhite's.
The glamour pair were introduced by a mutual friend and hit it off straight away, British newspaper the News of the World reported.
An onlooker told the newspaper: "Mark couldn't believe his luck.
"One minute they were standing there talking and the next they were all over each other in the corner of the tent.
"They were snogging and running their hands over each other's body and they didn't seem to care who saw.
"She did look absolutely stunning though, so any man would be chuffed to bits to be seen in that situation by loads of people."
Sharky was at the Windsor bash, the highlight of the Polo calendar, with other guests including Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davis.
Sharky's New Zealand agent Sara Tetro has denied the News of the World account of the hunky halfback's encounter with the Hollywood sex symbol.
But the newspaper quoted a source close to the rugby star as saying: "He's been smiling all week and has told close friends what happened but won't say anything publicly."
Mischa, who has also appeared in Hollywood blockbusters Notting Hill and the Sixth Sense, had been dating actor Cisco Adler since last November.
But their relationship has been on and off.
Sharky, a favourite among female fans during his five years with the All Blacks, has been with the Saints for three years.
He dated a string of beauties in New Zealand, including model and TV travel show host Charlotte Dawson.
Nicknamed Sharky because of his distinctive profile, he played for the All Blacks in 1997, 1998 and 2001.
