Them Rugga Boys & Their Ink : 2013 Edition

Now that Lauriel and I have SkyTV, it means we are able to watch ALLLLLL the Super Rugby & ALLLLLLL the All Blacks games we want to.  And we do.  With this increase in rugby viewing, we have been paying attention to players outside the Crusaders, and admittedly have been paying a lot of attention to Australian and South African teams & their players (to the point where I'm ashamed to admit that I now have favourite Australian & South African teams!).

A common phrase heard while we watch the rugby is "ooooo!  tattoos!!!" - because while we love the game of rugby in itself, we also love the men who play - and there is something about a tattooed rugby player, that is rather hard to resist.

I now bring to you, the 2013 edition of 'them rugga boys and their ink' (the 2012 post is my most popular post to date, so I figured it was needed!).

Reds player, Digby Ioane
I personally have a weakness for
rib cage tattoos....
Also rather fond of back tattoos!
It's no secret I love a good sleeve tattoo...
What's not to love?
Then of course there is my favourite South African player...
Mr Francois Hougaard
It's the sleeve.. it gets me everytime...
Okay... the sleeve isn't the ONLY thing...
(the rib tattoo helps too...)
Admittedly the man is a lot
hotter without the mullet!
The most recent tattoo picture I could find
& he seems to have the hair under control...
Will Genia... right down his spine... Nom.
As much as I dislike Quade Cooper
(pre-requisite for any Kiwi rugby fan)
... the tattoo is hot
A bit closer to home, we have Elliot Dixon
... another example of a nice sleeve tat!
and here we can see the top of Elliot Dixon's tat

Not a rugby player... but a ref... Steve Walsh also sports some ink

Close up of Steve Walsh's tattoo... very true indeed
