Nude rugby match has clothed streaker
Every year in New Zealand there’s a nude rugby international match to celebrate National Nude Day, which is the brainchild of a former All Black. This year, the match was interupted by a streaker, of course fully clothed. Anyone else cringing at the thought of playing rugby nude, and not for prudish reasons?

KOTH champ ‘honored’ by gay fans’ votes
David Williams, the Australian Rugby Union player who won the 2009 King of the Hardwood contest, gave an e-mail Q&A to Outsports that is funny and endearing.

Internet fraud goes beyond KOTH voting
Last month, Australian rugby league player David Williams was declared the winner of the 2009 King of the Hardwood contest after the competition’s creator, friend of Outsports Layne (aka Mariner Duck Guy on the Discussion Board), threw out votes for LA Dodger Brad Ausmus due to an online ballot-stuffing campaign. It was unfortunate that the [...]
Being a straight player on a gay rugby team
There is a terrific photo and audio essay on the New York Times.com profiling Paul Bockwoldt, a 28-year-old financial analyst who is straight but plays for the gay-oriented Gotham Knights Rugby club. Bockwoldt’s brother John is gay and also plays on the team. Paul is very articulate in discussing how being on John’s team brought [...]

Hot jocks: Rugby trio
Thanks to Sportinlife for the tip on this video montage of French rugby players Clément Poitrenaud, Frédéric Michalak and Vincent Clerc. It looks like a lot of images are from the Dieux de Stade calendars. It was posted a while back, but my guess is that most people haven’t seen it.

Eastwood, Damon tackle rugby
There are few filmmakers I love more than Clint Eastwood. So I was excited to see some shots from his next film, The Human Factor, about South Africa’s run to the Rugby World Cup in 1995 that helped bring some unity to the country post-apartheid. The movie stars Matt Damon who, as you can see, [...]

NFL’s Dhani Jones tackles other sports
Dhani Jones is often referred to in the media as a Renaissance man, in part because of his love of bow ties, which he turned into a business venture. The biggest impression he made on the field as an Eagles linebacker from 2004-2006 was with his “air guitar” celebration every time he made a play. [...]
