The West London's RWC blog

Ever Get That Blurry Bottom Feeling?

OK - a day of rest, jour de repos...a chance to go a little off topic (hang on - everything is off topic!).
The appeal of rugby is worldwide as we know, but what is it about the elite that leaves people wanting more? I guess it is probably the 'Englishness' of the sport - with everyone wanting to identify with the quaint traditions, yeoman spirit and gentlemanliness of this 'Webb Ellisyan' ethic. The soap on a rope, the Cotton Traders XXXXL tops, curry, beer and fragrant demeanour  - "Oh to be an Englishman..." - that is what is on rugby player's minds... here's proof.

What To Wear

Jonny  - the face of Hackett, as advised an chaperoned by our very own Neil Bugler. Or Serge and the 'Quinze' range of goodies. Or maybe Yvon Rousset, Jean Baptiste Lafond, Philippe Guillard, Franc Mesnel and Eric Blanc - the 'Showbiz 5'  very racy - very Racing Club! Without doubt, their Eden Park  concept has made a big impression on the rugby fraternity. Or maybe more traditional stuff suits you sir...Cotton Traders, cut on the "generous "side (ie: for tankers and other odd shapes...) - as was Fran Cotton who created the range with fellow ex-England player Steve Smith. And. Just so there is a bit of balance here, 'Rugbygirl' does exactly what it says on the site - and a very open friendly one it is too!
Keep warm...in London this morning, at 08:00 it's 7.9 degrees, Brrrrrr! (All due credits and acknowledgements to the sites linked here).

Ruff Stuff!

Brilliant T - shirts for the World Cup can be found at this delicious site. English bcbg - without a doubt. Move over Serge Blanco (comment va ta regime Serge? :¬)  ) Shove along Eden Park... here comes Jack Russell. WOOF! Picture shows my dog Jack who was on the bench for the last game he played..."Cheers Cock!"
