November is the best month to be a rugby fan. The promise of international rugby after the summer’s drought is a tantalising prospect, and with it come plenty of inspirational videos – such as the one below from Dove Men+Care.
The fixtures this weekend pit the cream of the Southern Hemisphere against the best of the Northern Hemisphere, and after the domination of these fixtures in recent years by the men from the south, the home nations will be looking to send out a message with just a year to go until the Rugby World Cup in England.
Can Wales break their hoodoo against the big three nations? They start that challenge against Australia on Saturday at the Millennium Stadium. Can England channel the spirit of 2012 and get another famous victory over the All Blacks, or will it be another romp for New Zealand, just like in June?
Can an injury-ravaged Ireland find a way to halt the relentless power of the mighty Springboks? And can Scotland finally deliver on their promise and use the good form of the Glasgow Warriors to their benefit? They face a tough test against Argentina, on a high after their recent win over Australia.
In this video, stars from all four home nations come together to deliver Rudyard Kipling’s famous poem ‘if’ with a rugby twist. Owen Farrell, Cian Healy, Greig Laidlaw and Sam Warburton are amongst the big names to put a rugby spin on Kipling’s idea.
If you need something to get you in the mood for the weekend, look no further.
