Not many here in the US appreciate the art form that is the sport of Rugby. It is often said,
"Football (or in Americans terms) is a gentlemen's sport played by hooligans, and Rugby is a hooligans sport played by gentlemen."
It is also said :
"Soccer is 90 minutes of pretending you are hurt, and Rugby is 80 minutes of pretending that you're not."
Now I'm not hating on Soccer at all. I'm just saying, we should all take a minute and bask in the glory that is Rugby, and its players. Because they do it all without padding and deserve just as much love as NFL and Baseball players. Don't believe me? Just watch.
The Burgess Brothers:
Yes, you got that right, there's four of them. I was going to separate them, but I thought they are far more impressive as a pack, not that aren't impressive enough. They play for the Australian Rugby Union, and they are a lineage of perfection.
Speaking of cuties from down under....
Sam Carter
He's got his eye on the ball, and I've got my eye on him. Just imagine that intense gaze he's got focused entirely on you for a sec.
Olivier Giroud may have captured our hearts during the Soccer World Cup, but there's another Frenchman out there to rival him, and his name s Yahn David. Oh my god, look at that face.
And, move over Messi, Argentina's got another star.
What's bluer, the stripes on his shirt, or his beautiful eyes? I can't decide.
England's also known for having a top notch rugby squad. As well as beauties like David Beckham. But I think Stuart Reardon is pretty great too. He's MAN pretty.
How you like them apples? Did I mention he also models as well as plays Rugby. Was it not obvious that he's also a model?
And lets not forget Dan Carter. Sure, he plays for my rival team of New Zealand. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate his good looks.
He might actually be a better Jockey model than he is a Rugby player.
Of course, I'd be lying, and betraying my culture if I didn't say that the best, and most attractive players come from South Africa.
Exhibit A: Percy Montgomery.
Yes, he was my first Rugby Crush at the age of 13.
Tell me that he's NOT a Disney Prince come to life. I dare you.
A new favorite of mine is Willie Le Roux.
Pretty cute huh?
But wait! There's more!
Eben Etzebeth is known for being a TOTAL beast on the field, and for those of you who like them tall, he's 6'8. You read that correctly.
Jan Serfontein is a close second to one of my tops.
The only imperfection with this picture is that he's holding that trophy instead of me.
And this list would be incomplete and totally a lie if it didn't feature J.J. Englebrecht and all of his perfection.
More JJ
Bet you wanna move to South Africa now huh?
Yeah, you do. Convinced yet?
I hope you enjoyed this as thoroughly as I enjoyed writing this.
