  1. Andy, my husband would like to thank you. After watching this, he got laid almost immediately.

  2. *gasp* Amazing and funny.

    Posted by: Aviel | Jun 8, 2007 1:42:29 PM


  3. Oh my God. It's so true -- give a "straight" guy a couple of drinks, flatter him and little and he's yours. I was half-expecting a circle jerk to break out. (And didn't the women seem a little irrelevant and almost annoyed that they weren't getting all the attention? Hence the emergence of the dreaded pinky.)

    PS Maybe I'm spoiled but does that guy really have a "huge one"? Nice size, but hardly massive. Yes, I'm being a bitch because I wanted to be there in that locker room...

  5. OMFG...no need for me to continue that subscription to Sean Cody. Thanks, Andy!

  6. That way pretty darn hot.

    I don't know why the headline read "excessive"

    It all seemed just about right to me!

  7. I want me a drunk English rugby player!

  8. PeterParker: You actually subscribe to Sean Cody? Let me introduce you to a little site called GayTorrents. You can thank me later.

  9. Those silly breeders are so weird. One minute they want to bang a woman over the head and drag her home but the next they are pulling at each other’s dinks. lol! I just don't get it.

    But I didn’t say for them to stop…

  10. What's that saying, "Three beers and you're queer"? Guess in this case, you're REALLY queer. Are you sure these boys are straight? While they were watching the video of their drunken escapades they didn't seem too embarassed, but rather high fived each other. Seems a bit odd to me...

    Posted by: Cory | Jun 8, 2007 2:14:08 PM


  11. 1 part straight boy + 2 parts alcohol = Fun and games (or so it would seem)

    Straight boys are so conflicted...

    Posted by: Robert In WeHo | Jun 8, 2007 2:17:01 PM


  12. Hahaha!

    Now I really know why my boyfriend just joined a local rugby team.

    Posted by: RP | Jun 8, 2007 2:17:49 PM


  13. Cory - I'd say if the lot were actually queer they would be embarassed (curiously even the most uninhibited among us 'mos are rarely this secure - the mind boggles...) but given the fact that they were being filmed for a reality show I can't help but think they were hamming it up a bit - not that I am complaining. You do have to wonder what goes on when no one is filming.

    Posted by: Giovanni | Jun 8, 2007 2:24:47 PM


  14. Excuse me while I leave the room and um...wonder for a bit.

    Posted by: Giovanni | Jun 8, 2007 2:26:19 PM


  15. Becks is coming over... can Rugby?

    Hilarious.

    Posted by: Rob (lrdarystar) | Jun 8, 2007 2:31:09 PM


  16. damn, Damn, DAMN!!! I'M AT WORK ALONE NOW, TOO and it just won't open ;-). Ah, well... Friday night fun...

    Posted by: virgoboy | Jun 8, 2007 2:36:58 PM


  17. I feel funny....down there.

    Posted by: digger_nyc | Jun 8, 2007 2:43:36 PM


  18. Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm a rugby fan as I type this. Wow.

    Posted by: Xavier | Jun 8, 2007 2:44:31 PM


  19. Well, you know the old saying, "...is he gay, or British?"

    Posted by: Ted B. (Charging Rhino) | Jun 8, 2007 2:49:17 PM


  20. Anyone else awed by the difference between US and UK television? Could you imagine the outrage from the telenazis here in the US - who went so apoplectic over seeing 2-seconds worth of Janet Jackson's tit?

    Man oh man... someone please send me to the UK!!!

    Posted by: Jonathon | Jun 8, 2007 2:50:42 PM


  21. They have nice bums as they might say. They might also say bottoms or arses, or gee... the English really like that part of the body don't they??

    The women were embarrassed you'll notice, and kept their clothes on.

    We need to do investigaytive reporting like this in the US too.

  22. I liked the kissing part myself.

    And how telling was it that the boys were SO much prettier than any of the girls?

    The saying is SO true...there really IS no such thing as a totally straight man when the right opportunity comes along. That's just nature. Women can just "Suck it" as Kathy Griffin says.

  23. ...again, so many of the comments above go down the same path: "are you *sure* they're straight," etc.

    Generationally speaking, there's a 180 degree shift in comfort, dynamic and understanding of sexuality; I don't doubt for a second any one of them is not straight. They're simply self-aware,comfortable and uninhibited; traits clearly more socially tolerant in the UK.

    Now, cross the pond and that shift exists on a certain level, but our puritanical backstory gets in the way.

    Posted by: Jason | Jun 8, 2007 3:43:48 PM


  24. Jason: they were also 180% drunk too. Doesn't Andy cover gay bashings in the UK? Wasn't there a gay footballer "scandal" last year?

    Deep down, guys are all "playful" and "physical", str8 or gay.

  25. I didn't care that I'm at work... I watched it anyway!

    O-M-G

    i'm going to have to watch again later

    hot

  26. nearly all of them are not gay, i'm sure. rugby is just different. nudity is normal in rugby, for some reason, thank you great spirit! but at least one or two of them are definitely curious or more. i bet the big cock guy has fucked at least one of those hot bubble asses.

  27. Oh, no doubt they were loaded. And there's homophobia o'er seas too, my point being remains: socially and culturally, there's simply more tolerance there than here. In GENERAL.

    It's also an age thing; I'm focusing MORE on their reactions to viewing the evidence; they were high-fiving and laughing. There were no deragory names called, no "ewwws, gross." It was all in good fun. I agree with Tim, too. Rugby guys are just wired differently. I lived with rugby players throughout college. Frankly, they can be odd (again, a GENERALIZATION,) but good, good (albeit uninhibited) guys...

  30. There's a real audience out there for this pretty, narcissistic young things "gone wild" sort of thing, isn't there?

    I guess I'm missing the substance abusers are so sexy part.

  31. Good heavens! What is it about British/Spanish/French/etc. footballers getting buck nekid?

  32. Someone seriously needs to tell me how to download that video. I tried the usual - looking for the file in the Activity window in Safari and the Page Info window in Firefox - but couldn't find it.

    Posted by: JOE 2 | Jun 9, 2007 1:17:43 AM


  33. http://ethansays.typepad.com/sandbach1.wmv

    throw that in your browser. it will either prompt you to "save as" otherwise it will open in your defult media player. should be able to go "file>save as" from there.

    btw that fist big pash = fucking hot! one of them HAS to be gay...

  34. Thanks, MATTS! It worked. I'll be getting off to this one for quite some time now.

    haha, lol....some gay men really are competitive with women, aren't they? Guess what, sweetheart...you're losing....

  37. Don't see what all the fuss is about. Scenes from a typical night out with the rugby boys; they're renowned for these sorts of pissed-up antics. The 'boys/girls gone wild' shows are kinda old hat now..

    Posted by: atheist | Jun 10, 2007 4:33:03 PM


  38. Just a bit of context to English rugby: it's generally or historically an upper-class sport, traditionally played in public schools (in true English contradictory terminology, a "public school" is in fact an elite, very expensive private school), where communal nudity (in showers, dormitories) is or was common, and, er, "experimenting" with other boys, while not common, is hardly unusual in early years.

    The traditional English public schoolboy rugby player is therefore generally socially more confident, maybe more arrogant, and not as paranoid about nudity as Americans seem to be.

    The type of behaviour in this TV programme is not untypical of young, wealthy and - more to the point – very pissed rugby players. In this particular case, there are rumours that the TV company “encouraged” excessive antics with cash and booze; mind you, I doubt the lads needed much encouragement. Let’s face it, a group of accountants on a well-behaved night out wouldn’t make for good TV.

    Sorry to disappoint, but I doubt very much any of them are gay, even when drunk; while there is a degree of more tolerance, paradoxically they just wouldn’t consider this type of behaviour “gay”. As pointed out above, none of them were embarrassed when viewing the film (although one player did allude to some teammates who seemed more keen than others on certain antics). It’s all seen as par for the course on a normal lads’ night out; the only difference in this case was that it was caught on film. Most of the time, none of them would remember much the next morning.

    PS I know there are a lot of generalisations above, so please, no tirade of abuse!
