Scrum down chaps.



Above are four of my old school's current touring Rugby team, wearing their 2019 'designer' tour jackets.

Things have changed a lot since my day, and I'm not sure if it's all for the better.


And this is the rest of them..... I despair!

    1. That's what I thought. They are currently touring Paris.

  2. Oh my - I can hear the word (pansies) being mouthed by some of their opponents.
    Which will probably fire them up to prove otherwise !!

    1. I haven't heard whose idea this was, but I hope they're in hiding.

  3. OMG why didn't they riot??
    A rugby team? No way

  4. Think the designer need a lesson on "suitable jackets for rugby players".
    They are just so bad

    1. Awful; I wonder if they made them themselves?

  5. I see the Art Group are on a visit to New York. I wonder if they got the jackets muddled up!

    1. Are yet another group visiting a Dog Food factory?

  6. They are quite pretty/unusual jackets, but for a rugby team? I don't think so!!

    1. No; leather with studs would have been more appropriate.

  7. They all look embarassed. Who decides that this is a good idea? Poor boys.

    1. Goodness knows. I think I know what'll happen to the jackets when their tour is over!

  8. It's not a good look for a rugby team.

  9. Not a jacket that says Rugby, but I bet they are having fun wearing them. They are getting noticed.

    1. They're probably getting up to all sorts of mischief as soon as they take them off.

  10. I can tell that you're secretly jealous.

  11. Well, we don't do Rugby over here in the US, but we do play 'head games.' Maybe those fine looking young men are at the offense before the game - playing with the minds of their opponents. Maybe they're just having a lark.

    One of my former employees was a champion skeet shooter. He would dress in drag for some tournaments. Back then, this was totally unheard of. He did it purely to mess with the head and concentration of his opponents. It worked!

    Life is good, the world is round, and young men are still 'full of it.'

    Cheers,

    1. We have a Potter in England who does that. He's called Grayson Perry. He's worth looking-up; he's made a fortune through his antics.

  12. It looks like the sports teacher is married to the needlework teacher who needed somewhere to practise the GCSE coursework.

    1. There was a lot of work involved. Someone was working hard.

  13. I love Grayson Perry's work Cro, but am not sure this is in the same league.

    1. So do I; but the idea of dressing to be noticed is much the same.

  14. Bet they cost a fortune too. Some of it looks like a Liberty fabric.
    They may look like prats now but if it is Liberty they will be quids in later!

  15. Very colourful chappies but why?

    ReplyDelete
  16. They look fantastic. Takes balls to wear something that controversial. And they are obviously getting attention, which is kinda the point is it not?

    1. They could have worn high heels and fishnet stockings; that would have got them even more noticed.
