It seems like it doesn’t take much for rugby players to strip down to nothing, and charity is always a good reason. Eleven English players got naked — save for socks, shoes and a well-placed rugby ball — as part of a campaign to raise money for Sport Relief, a charity event. Said Sam Tomkins:

“I’m not in the habit of taking my clothes off but I’m making an exception for Sport Relief. I’ve played some really fierce rugby and have been involved in some really tough tackles, but nothing compares with the terror of bearing all in the buff!”
