While I am in London, thought I might surprise you with something unexpected: the local rugby lads in the thick of a fast-paced game on a muddy field. The rugby club is located in the Bois du Boulogne, just a few metres from Hippodrome de Longchamp. I am a big rugby fan; Stade Francais (Paris) is my favourite local team. They play at Stade Jean Bouin next door to Parc des Princes. It is just a ten-minute walk from Roland Garros, home of the French Open. Within easy walking distance of the apartment, one can watch live horse racing, tennis, rugby or water-skiing on the Seine.
Your article was recalling me the Rugby that I watched when I was in Florida. I am not a big rugby fan, but enjoyed with your well-captures. I'm crazy lover about Formula1, tennis, swimming and sailing+yachts (like you).
Have a nice weekend,
Nihal

Ok. I am most certainly in the wrong place! How did I miss such a nice collection of fit, young men in my lovely city?! Darn. Smile ...
Hope you are having a lovely time in London.
Take care,
Stefanie

I hate Rugby but LOVE the men so thank you so much for this. Hope all is well in London - same country but 300 odd miles apart :(

I was going to write about the lads in their short shorts too, but then read your patriotism paragraph below, Tara. As usual, you nailed it. K.

I pull for ASM, the team from Clermont Ferrand, where we used to live. I hear they're traveling to Charleston later this month to play. It's a rough sport--but exciting to watch! Thanks for the photos!

Your post woke me up faster than my first cup of coffee- wink wink--- but THANK YOU for the eye candy this morning! I know nothing about the sport other than what your photos revealed, and all I can say is, WOW!

This is a game my oldest son really enjoys playing. It can be quite fierce and I think that's one of the reasons he enjoys it so much!!
