Eden Park Suits for England Rugby Team

[MLIW]

So, English Rugby players generally are fairly massive - they seem to live much like our American counterparts off a diet consisting of protein shake after protein shake.
They also happen to look quite dapper in their new Suits from French "make" Eden Park
Would the Good people of Style Forum provide an opinion?

Seeing as the Video was loaded on Vimeo - Ive taken the liberty of blogging about it on my blog (as I cant embed here) -

England Rugby Style

Funny, I always had Andrew Sheridan down as the Hedi Slimane/Dior type...

T M Lewin are doing the England Cricket team. And in classic british style only giving them entry level quality!

 

[MLIW]

Entry Level quality aside - its good to see people wearing something which is fitted?

You have great backs but your props are not up to international standards...

You will always struggle in the scrum against the big nations.

Interesting. Thanks for posting this.

Skinny ties, though? Not sure if that's a good idea for bigger guys.

What a goddam hero

And, when Wilkinson does play (short spells in between being injured), he is undoubtedly one of the world's best. His best is almost certainly behind him now though.
