More compression shorts performing well in the rain in the recent England v France match

Danny Cipriani (above)manages a pretty good show without them

Another gratuitous nude dressing room scene starring a selection of Harlequins players - for a Health campaign naturally! It's a curious mixture of arty and erotic. The guys haven't been pretty-fied for the shoot. The two outside figures are cast in semi-classical poses which are almost demure. However the two seated on the bench are showing modesty in a raunchy way which suggests quite the opposite!

Ficticious but fanciable.
In this atmospheric shot from Gotham Knights, Joe Oppedisano picks up on the tight fitting compression shorts that have caught on as undershorts in recent years.

Jonah from Captured Guys has exactly the right look for a rugby role

This series concludes in the next post and I start a new letter in my A-Z

These crisp white shorts look great and demonstrate that chunky thighs look great from the back too.

The gloves suggest this is a soccer goalkeeper but hell, you're allowed to fantasise!

A trio of French players from a 2004 calendar. Thomas Lode on the right shows some fine buttock meat. The curiously defensive pose and dangling boots make him seem more naked than the other two players.

This solo pose has a similar over-the-shoulder coyness. The photographer has caught his skin and muscle tone beautifully.

The legs together pose suggests the same vulnerability as the fully clothed photographers move in close, directing the arrangement of his naked body.

Internationals pose playfully in the new Lions oufit, somehow I can't imagine a group of soccer players doing this. For lovers of socks and shorts the result is very nice.

......and a different group get naked for a Cancer awareness campaign. Modesty can be very sexy!

There's something very satisfying about this image, the referee is definitely in control of this cute redhead. The player's pose is highly defensive as he reluctantly defers to authority, embarassed at his public rebuke and dejected by the punishment.

What man hasn't enjoyed this form of shirt pulling?
You can't see anything but it's so erotic. The chunky legs are delicious.

Tom Croft featured in the last post, he has a rugged, hard jawed handsomeness about him that is very attractive.

This cut and bruised mug shot is strangely alluring.

He doesn't mind getting his kit off either

Keen observers will note that the shorts don't give much away. The swirling red line on England's 'O2' Kit is very figure enhancing.

Dancing cheek to cheek

After years of alleigance to cute 'n' hairy Ben Cohen, I'm very tempted to switch to smooth, rugged Tom!
