Unexpected Benefit of the End of Year Tour

There has been a very unexpected benefit of the All Blacks 2012 end of year tour to Europe.  Along the way they have played Scotland, Italy, Wales - and this weekend England.  They have won 3/3 so far, with their toughest game being this weekend against England - but they are still favourites to win... even if they are now seen as thugs due to Andrew Hore's major fuck up.  (for the record, 5 weeks - not enough).

But that unexpected benefit?  The unearthing of hot foreign rugby players!  The two main ones that come to mind are Tim Visser (Dutch, plays for Scotland) & Mike Phillips (Wales, also plays for Bayonne)... and now I leave you with Mr Visser and Mr Phillips, for your viewing pleasure.

Mr Visser

Mr Visser looking rather nommy in his Barbarians jeresy

More Visser goodness

And now for the nommier of the two, Mike Phillips - aka the Welsh DC (Dan Carter)

What's not to love about Mike Phillips?

Lounging by the pool.  Oh to be a fly on the... umbrella...

All suited up... and looking goooooood.

What a view!  Nice scenery too...

Ludicrously huge bottle of wine, for a ludicrously sexy man!

Looking rather European!
