Everyone’s Life Improves When Rugby Players Get Naked

Once again, Britain's rugby players are stripping out of their gear for raise awareness for one charity or another. This time a group called Sport Relief benefits. Has the Queen yet sanctioned naked athletes as the newest Great British Tradition, along with tea time and fox hunting? It's a wondrous cultural phenomenon that needs its own Banker's Holiday.

Sport Relief raises cash to aid a wide variety of causes, from underprivileged youth around the UK to healthcare in the Third World. Next weekend, the group is sponsoring a series of fundraising runs across Britain. Since sex sells everything, these Rugby studs are turning heads and attention towards the cause with the ways of all flesh, sporting only Sport Relief socks and an annoyingly placed Rugby ball.

And dear God, these men are hunk-o-ramas. Thick powerhouses of tight muscles. Are they even real? A flip through the gallery and we need a whole different kind of relief.
