Do they really need to attract more rugby fans? in Wales?? Well there's me I suppose.

Well, they'll get the female part of the population with ads like that...nice bod.

I think this campaign is great..:-)but I don't think it would make me like watching Rugby...oh I suppose I could imagine whats underneath their kit!!! :-) :-)

Thanks that really makes me feel good about myself...

Honestly Liz - such sexist behaviour is surely beneath you? :-)

I saw this photo over the weekend, as Student son was home and likes to watch Sky Sports News. It is absolutely stunning, in more ways than one and I can't imagine how the photgrapher managed to capture the pose! I followed your link and looked at the others. Just amazing.

Anna, I suppose it's to attract women mainly. I don't know. It's not Welsh anyway, although Shane Williams has posed - but he looks a little misshapen.

Indeed, puss.

Really, Anne! I didn't put it up for that purpose!

Me sexist, furtheron?!! It was on the BBC website. I didn't even comment! My tongue is quite sore from biting it though!

I was trying to work out how they got the photo too, mean mom.

Good old BBC ;0) I'm guessing photoshop or something like that... I used to get paid to touch up images in the days before children.

I love the rugby anyway, but the odd photo like that can't hurt, can it?

Good heavens, Miss Elizabeth. That is a fine specimen of a rugby player. No filthy muddy clothes to wash on this one either.
