Irish rugby captain Brian O’Driscoll revealed that the Irish rugby team were kept up to date on what was happening at home during the Rugby World Cup by an unlikely source. Georgia Salpa.
While the thought of Georgia keeping the lonely rugby lads entertained with news bulletins via long-distance Skype calls clad only in her smalls is what instantly springs to the mind of most red-blooded males (admit it, it did), unfortunately the truth is a lot more innocent than that.
Speaking to Tom Dunne on Newstalk yesterday, the embattled centre revealed that pictures of the scantily-clad Georgia formed the centrepiece of the updates regularly posted in the team’s media room throughout the competition.
“We were kept up to speed with newspaper cutouts,” said O’Driscoll.
“They’d be put up every day by our media guy, so we got to see the headlines and small little things like what promotion Georgia Salpa was doing on any given day.
“We spread the wealth – there’s broadsheet and tabloid exposure hung up on every wall.”
While O’Driscoll was able to recall nearly all of the products that the ubiquitous Georgia flogged during the Irish team’s all too brief sojourn in New Zealand, he was surprisingly less informed about the death of Gaddafi and the Irish Presidential election – events which also happened during the Rugby World Cup.
We wonder why.
