Hot Muscular Men Sweating, Working Hard

Featuring: Kelly Brown (Scotland), Luke Fitzgerald (Ireland), Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), and Simon Shaw (England)...oh and some other dude.



What I wouldn't give for AWJ to tackle and tie a rope around me...TMI? Sorry but he looks sooooo good in this video. RAWR! But Kelly Brown seriously has the most epic eyebrows I've ever seen!

AWJ is here to brighten our Monday!

Its been a while since an AWJ post, he knew this, that's why he posed for this photo.
Didn't you know? All Rugby Union players read this blog, DUH!

An Alun Wyn Jones Post

...brought to you by my all time favourite picture of AWJ:

I am loving this unruly beard he looks just like a viking! You can conquer my lands anytime, Al ;)

Wales Lost but Alun Wyn Jones is Still a Babe

Wales played Australia this past weekend and uh they lost..which was no surprise to me (sorry Welsh fans) but one thing we can all enjoy is the visual representation of AWJ's beautiful singing voice!

Congratulations AWJ!

Our boyfriend Alun Wyn Jones has just been named the new captain for the Ospreys, and while we'll shed a tear for Ryan Jones, we're also quite excited that AWJ gets to fulfill his prophecy. Welsh captaincy next? Very probable!

Le roi est mort, vie le roi!

In other news Tommy Bowe has won the Magners League Player of the Year Award (the award to which AWJ is accepting above). THAT BITCH! Is there anything he can't do, all the boys must be jealous!

Since the Stanely Cup Finals Suck...

Tomorrow is the Guinness Premiership and Magners League finals. Its Leicester Tigers v Saracens; and Leinster v Ospreys and everything's coming to a very dramatic conclusion The media hype machine is well under way. Who will win? What will be the score? Will there be tears? Will there be glory?

Clearly I would like the Tigers and the Ospreys to win just because I feel like both teams deserve it more, independent of any fangirling, okay?

In preparation of the epicness that will surely go down tomorrow:

ALUN WYN JONES DID AN INTERVIEW Mike Phillips was there too

BEN YOUNGS DID AN INTERVIEW


TOMMY BOWE DID A PHOTOSHOOT

and I'm not sure how I feel about the plaid shorts...

...now that we all have the same desktop background, good night and good luck to the boys!

A Little Eye Candy To Get Us Through The Week

It was our first long weekend of the summer, I had a girls weekend and it was so much fun, we went to the beach (I got burned), we ate delicious food, got drunk, got hit on by Pub managers (he was kind of hot actually), watched fireworks, bought things we couldn't afford, and then I came home today, and realized my mini vacation was over. I'm still pretty bummed so in order to cheer me up here are some photos from our favourite Ospreys' boyfriends Alun Wyn Jones and Tommy Bowe and some Jamie Roberts thrown in for good measure (sorry for the watermarks in advance)

I was getting a little concerned with AWJ (he voluntarily grew an unruly beard a while back) but these photos prove, I have nothing to fear

One of the best things about AWJ is that he rocks his receding hair line, look at this hair cut it works, it totally works! Who is his barber? Gold medal for that dude!

AWJ at his best, classic furrowing of the brow

Look how good his hair cut is! I can't get over it! Some people should take notes!

Ew Mike Phillips. LOL AWJ is wearing loafers, why am I amused by that?

Tommy Bowe and AWJ to double your pleasure. Oh Johnathan Thomas was there too

Here's Jamie Roberts who has seemed to have aged about 10 years since the last time we checked on him...in his manner anyway

Tommy Bowe has no idea what to do and his bow tie is crooked...would we want him any other way? Did you see him on the late late show Irish friends? Took a jab at Carnie, I hear. TELL ME EVERYTHING

Jamie Roberts going for the hottest dad on the block

...oh you know of what I speak! Don't you recall being 13-15, the years when you were a 'babysitter' and there was always that dad whose little brats you took care of and you were totally crushing on him like a fan girl at a backstreet boy concert, cause he was so cute~ and didn't talk to your boobs like boys your own age. That is until you realized that even though he was good looking in a rather generic way, he was totally lame, a complete L 7, and a purveyor of dad jokes which ruined his handsomeness. Well I think I just turned 16. Jamie, are we breaking up?

BREAKING NEWS: Alun Wyn Jones Has His Own Website

Upon discovering alunwynjones.com, I thought I should do the responsible thing and give him some free advertising.

From the looks of things it seems pretty new, there isn't much on there, and it only shows up on the second page of google search results for Alun Wyn Jones- oh wow, just outed myself
didn't, I?

...

ANYWAY, I'm like 100% sure that AWJ has a hand in his website unlike other athlete's websites where they pay a person/people to pose as them, how can I be so sure well, check out the bio section:

Alun-Wyn Jones has an affinity with the letter "L": - He is studying to be a Lawyer at Swansea University, he is a Lock forward and a Leader of his country with tenacity and drive to be the best.

He wrote that! Honestly! Remember when he was a 'work horse'(2:11):



What the hell is that? He neighed! I can't even bring myself to watch that clip, I get so much second hand embarrassment. He sooo wrote that thinking it was so witty, and funny, and cool! When really its- *ahem* Oh Alun on with the dad jokes, already and you're only 24!

On the blog there is information we already know and pictures we've already seen (conspicuously missing is his Lions head shot, which I believe documents his best hair cut!) but isn't it exciting knowing the 'work horse' is behind it? Now I know what my new homepage is going to be...

Obligatory AWJ Photo:


gets me everytime!

Whoa...Wait...What?

I am a top procrastinator. Its a terrible affliction! Doing a paper on the French Revolution, its 3am I am done, just have to do the bibliography and make sure my footnotes are done correctly but instead of buckling down, pushing through, so can be done by half past 3, and get a bit of sleep in before I have to wake up for school in a few hours, I go on facebook or google search stories on --->insert any rugby player's name here<---. And that's exactly what I did the other night! What I found was too good not to share, I had to make time to write this because...you'll see.
So you know how the Lions tour happened this past summer, well...:

Last year we wrote about the shenanigans of Wales and Lions lock Alun-Wyn Jones in a nightclub in Pretoria. He apparently urinated on a rugby writer and we found it a tad strange that the said writer did not reveal this. Nine months later the writer has acknowledged the incident in his column in SA Rugby magazine, but has failed to mention that it was he who was on the receiving end

Times Live

Wha-wha-WHAT?

Like-

I mean-

How is one supposed to process such information. What are we to make of this story? AWJ. Urinating. On someone. WHAT? I don't even know!

Here's why I don't believe it:
a) This goes against all I've ever heard of AWJ. This whole time he's presented himself as intelligent, rational, and an alright guy; I've heard nothing of the contrary.
b) Why am I only finding this out now? If you read Death of a Trend during the summer then you know that I was ALL OVER the Lions Tour, the NHL playoffs took a backseat to the Lions, something like this would not have escaped my knowledge.
c) If I were a South African journalist, and a Lion urinated on me, would it not be in the interest of nationalism to demonize the tourists? Why write about it 9 months later instead of calling your editor, urine still dripping from your leg (I'm assuming he peed in that general area), telling him you've got a story that will blow the tourists reputation away?

Here's why I believe it:
a) It happened in Pretoria. Pretoria is a dirty, dirty, place! Second only to Johannesburg! So if someone urinating on someone else is going to happen, its going to happen in Pretoria
b) It appears, through recent developments, that Welsh internationals cannot handle their alcohol...
c)That trip on Hartley, could have prehaps revealed a glimmer of what he's been hiding from us all along
d)Despite AWJ seeming like a nice, intelligent, person, I do sense a bit of cheekiness simmering just below the surface
e) I can totally picture him doing this, lol

At the end of the day I don't know. Usually I would use my Spidey sense and would conclude on either yes he did do it or no he didn't but I'm coming up with nothing.

Alun Wyn Jones and golden showers...I just don't know what to make of this. What do you think?

Alun Wyn Jones To Tie Us Over

This is my all time favourite photo of AWJ so be prepared to see it a lot!

Sorry. Its March and any University student knows what that means. I'm currently writing two essays both due on the same day next week and have over 20 books to read; the coles notes version: I'm screwed! So I probably won't get to post until next week, don't worry I have something planned which we'll all enjoy!

Here's an interview I found with Alun Wyn Jones a while back, and once again, he reinforces the school girl crush, lucky for him it saved him from being banished forever...oh but that's for another post. Okay on to AWJ (ha that rhymed)

Man Crush Alert

Get ready boys and girls because we have another man crush on our hands!

I have no fucking clue what Scott Johnson is even saying about Mike Phillips, not that I really care about Mike Phillips but it is a wonder when someone speaks your native tongue and you still have no clue what they're saying.



When Johnson got to Alun Wyn Jones, he started speaking English, and aren't we glad he did? Its clear there's a man crush going on, which is a welcome occurrence, because since Danny Gare fell off the face of the earth, we stopped hearing how ~*amazing*~ Jared Boll is. Anyway, he validated what we suspected from AWJ all along; he's intelligent, passionate, and a sweet Welsh boy. I'm still convinced he tells the worst jokes in the world, he just looks like type...yea that type does exist, believe me, I've met them...and they resemble AWJ...

Doesn't this video just warm your cockles? So nice after the barrage of bad news. I'm hoping next weekend's games will provide better results than what we've been getting

Dropping Like Flies

With a chipped elbow, and torn ligaments, our boyfriend Alun Wyn Jones will be out for up to 12 weeks missing the rest of the Six Nations.

Boo.Hiss.

Heartbreaking for him after 'redeeming himself" after that trip and now not being able to make a mark on the 2010 Six Nations. Heartbreaking for Wales another man down; first Andy Powell and now AWJ.

What does this mean for Wales? Only time can tell...

The Trip, Neathdertal Fist Pumps, and Wilko's Public Washroom Squat, Mark Cueto's a Babe

I'm a bit late on the train with this one but I had a busy weekend and then I had a busy week with school but all of that is over with and I can now devote my attention the the disappointing game that was England v Wales.

Mark Cueto's a babe by the way!

Did you guys watch the game? Weren't you expecting more? Just more all around? I was severely unsatisfied with the game that is until I went online and saw all the crap that was being spued about our very own Alun Wyn Jones.


I don't know how you all interpreted the trip but to me it didn't seem that big of a deal. Yes it was stupid, yes he shouldn't have done it, and yes it added extra pressure to his teammates to preform well (which they weren't doing before he was sent off) but was his mistake really the reason Wales lost?

Um NO, because last time I checked rugby was a team sport and if one player being sin binned completely demoralizes your game then you have greater problems than a lock's moment of stupidity.

I was a little bit shocked that many people and many media outlets were basically saying Alun Wyn Jones was the reason Wales lost. I'm guessing that was just their knee jerk reaction in light of the fact that Wales SHOULD HAVE won, England kind of played like crap and Wales should have been able to beat them one man down or not but the fact of the matter is, Wales did not preform well and while both teams were terrible, England was less terrible.

Steven James says it so much better than I can:

I actually think Gatland made too much of the sin-binning. It was important, of course it was. But just because Wales were down to fourteen men did they have to buckle so? The average number of points conceded during a 10-minute sin-binning is seven. So what happened here? 17 points. Wales were poor in that ten-minute period. And still they managed to get themselves back in the game. They still could, maybe should, have won. For England were awful. They were trying to run the clock down from about 25 minutes out, for goodness’ sake.

Let's be honest, if Wales had won this game AWJ's misstep wouldn't even be a blip on the radar but because they lost, he is the scape goat because during those ten minutes England scored 17 points and the team just couldn't recover...clearly this is a team issue.

Mark Cueto is still a babe!


Let's be nice to England before I get to, what you know I'm getting to. That interception by Delon Armitage was BEAUTIFUL! So sick, I finally got excited because the game was getting good...in the dying minutes of the game. And how amazing was Jonny Wilkinson, homeboy made every kick, that public washroom squat is magic, I tell ya! Mark Cueto is a babe, I don't understand how I only became aware of this on Saturday, damn son!

So the curious case of Tom Croft's knee is an on going investigation and Saturday gave us further proof that his injury was no mere accident. mhmm.

POP QUIZ

Q: What is Croft's usual position

A: No. 6 blindside flanker

Q: Now that Croft is injured who wore the No. 6 jersey on Saturday

A: James Haskell and his mouth

Mmmmm, curious, very curious. What's curious still is that The Mouth was able to score two tries and snag man of the match. This is all very convenient since we all know that if Tom were fit, The Mouth would not be invited to Martin Johnson's facebook event that is 'England's starting line up 2010' BUT since Tom is out The Mouth decides to make an impression. Did you see that Neanderthal fist pump thing he was doing after his first try? I mean...


The Mouth knows that he has to be better than good to keep his position on the squad, if he didn't play well Tom could waltz in with those pretty legs of his and take up the No. 6 position but now that The Mouth is making a case for himself, making himself indispensable, he knows Johnno would never pull someone that was 'hot' no coach in their right mind would, and he is using this to his advantage. If The Mouth continues to produce, its Tom Croft that will have to fight and win back his position.

DAMN HIM!

And you know Crofty has absolutely no clue, he's probably sitting there going 'Yey team! James is my friend! One time we were sharing a room and he used up all the hot water in the shower because he didn't want me to get tired and lethargic because he says that's what heat does, so he let me have ALL the cold water, what a gentleman'

*sigh* he doesn't have a chance does he?

You and your mouth better watch out Haskell! We're on to you! We have the internet and we know how to use it!

Did I mention Mark Cueto is a babe?




PS I kind of sort of was dozing off during the game, I had woken up at 5am to work an 8.5 hour shift at work which was INSANELY busy, so if I missed anything do let me know or comment whatever

Alun Wyn Jones, Story Still Developing

I am aware of what went down between Wales and England more specifically Alun Wyn Jones perplexing strategy of tripping. I`ll post my thoughts about about it later, possibly tomorrow or the day after...sorry real life gets in the way.

Sorry Tom

So the Tigers lost to the Ospreys, boo hoo.

Don't get me wrong I am heartbroken, I mean Jordan Crane did his roots for nothing, NOTHING! Why is life so cruel?

I predicted that Leicester were going to take it but alas the Ospreys are keen to fulfil the long unfulfilled prophecy.

Anyway, wipe away those tears because this post is going to be about my school girl crush on Alun Wyn Jones. He's so fine isn't he?

He seems really sweet, and he likes to use idioms quite a lot, which shows that he's intelligent, and he's HUGE, if you were to wear one of his sweaters it would be like a snuggie! Alright one of you needs to steal one of AWJ's hoodies!

Here's the plan (jump to 6:18-7:30):


Fool proof, right?

Besides all of that, he looks good in a suit and that's all that matters!

*sigh*





Oh he knows EXACTLY what he's doing!

Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Goodnight

So we have Riki Flutey, Tommy Bowe, Tom Croft and Alun Wyn Jones shirtless...

Carnie Kearney being pretty and shit

Why is Harry Ellis always around?

Alun is totally giving the score board dirties

Errrr...

I love this photo its so touristy, like "hey look we swam with sharks in a completely organic, non-staged, uncontrolled setting"

This one looks photo shopped, non? Like the background was added later

What a smile, so sweet and goofy.

First person I noticed was Tom Croft. The second was Alun Wyn Jones. The third Jamie Roberts but the thing is I think we're supposed to be paying attention to Mike Phillips. Oh well.

Balding...and then there's Adam Jones

Oh my! AWJ is looking fione! Oh and that's Dr. Jamie Roberts getting into the tank...yea I guess Andrew Sheridan's alright

Okay! So I did steal this from an Osprey's twitter but in my defence, Gareth Owen is a stud muffin, asking me not to post his picture is like locking me in a kitchen after I've been starved for a week and telling me I can't eat anything. Its just not going to happen!

Sure Ugo Monye and Gordan Darcy are alright but this photo is for the bromance going on in the top left corner

Heartbreak :(

This.Photo. Oh and Tom did the sweater around the waist again, ugh!

Kearney has the right idea BUT look who's creeping in the background, THAT HARRY ELLIS. Everywhere, why?

Hehe. Oh you know why I posted this picture!

The first thing I noticed about this photo is that Donnacha O'Callaghan is in his underwear and Tommy Bowe is attempting to molest him. The second thing I noticed that Donnacha O'Callaghan was in his underwear and Tommy Bowe is in his underwear attempting to molest him. Oh.

Alun is GQing the sh*t out of this photo. Werk it homeboy!

Treasure trail....

Alun knows what he's doing

Oh Jamie!

I personally feel a bit pervy for knowing the general shape of Luke Fitzgerald's wanger. Its his 15 year old face!

Love this photo

I guess no one told Paul O'Connell that he could rest the short shorts for this shoot

Oh Kearney. So pretty. So, so, pretty!

Kearney's face gets me everytime. Jamie is more concerned with his dental hygiene it seems.

The results of Jamie's dental Hygiene. And how adorable is Ross Ford?

Tom and a lioness. Apparently they 'formed a bond'. No Tom, pretty sure she wanted to feast on your delicious thighs, well you know what get in line Nahla! ...too much? Sorry.

Tom those sunglasses need to go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Nahla's really going for it. That bitch!

This lioness is good, guys!

HARRY ELLIS WE MEET AGAIN!

Alun totally looks like a dinosaur...like a T-Rex! Whatever, you can totally see it too, you're just denying it!

DAMN, Tom is hella fine, what I wouldn't give to be Luke Fitzgerald in this photo. He's bending OVER him *thud*. OH and what do we have here, my nemesis, HARRY ELLIS!

Jordan Crane: I've just been going through so much stuff
Tom Croft: Stuff, huh?
Jordan: Like it took me like a week to decide which shade of blonde I should highlight my hair with. I just couldn't decide. It was so hard. Do I go with golden sunshine or a ray of sunshine. I mean this is a big deal you know
Tom: Life is hard, it seems.

BUSTED! Ok yea I stole this photo from The Mouth's twitter, who actually doesn't look that bad in this photo. HOWEVER the face Tom is making in this picture kills me. How good does he look in a tux?

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE THOMAS?

Rob Kearney has the right idea

Dominic Waldouck, because I've been neglecting our relationship

How could I ever forget how hot this boy is?

Somebody got new thighs

Oh...Yes.Please.

There's nothing to say but nom nom nom

This photo is heartbreaking

Ummm share the joke boys. Sharing is caring.

This is for Tommy Bowe's perfectly sculpted thigh. I've said it before and I'll say it again. T-Bowe's muscle definition is out of this world!

The first thing I noticed about this picture is that T-Bowe is wearing hideous jeans. The second thing I noticed was his bulge in his hideous jeans

And that's all girls and boys! Hope you enjoyed this mega picture post. Have a wonderful holiday and eat as much as you want, don't worry about getting fat because that can be dealt with in your New Years Resolutions! Don't drink and drive, help your mum with the dishes and even if you didn't get that xbox, please remember that what you have sitting around your table is what is truly valuable, and remember how lucky you are to have all that you do. Merry Christmas!
