They were perhaps a little out of their depth with the Harbour Town Sherrin, but that didn't stop the boys from the NRL Footy Show trying their best to get a grasp on Australian Rules Football.

Paul Vautin, Michael Slater, Andrew Johns and Gorden Tallis visited Aegis Park and were taught some tricks by the North Melbourne players as part of a skit for Thursday night's edition to air on nine.

Fitted out in Kangaroos' merchandise, the former sporting stars talents didn't quite cross over when it came to marking, though Andrew Johns' kicking skills were certainly on show when he slotted several bombs through the big sticks.

Watch the NRL Footy Show tonight (Thursday) to see the rugby league players learning skills from the Kangaroos. Check your local guides.
