When Tywin Lannister talks, you listen.

The Rugby World Cup is now just a year away and, ahead of tickets going on sale on 12 September, the IRB has released an inspiring new ad starring none other than the excellent English actor, Charles Dance AKA Lord Tywin Lannister from the superb Game Of Thrones. The terrifying, towering, thespian has been brought on board to deliver the mother of dragons all pep talks to the gathered crowd and, as fans of the TV show well know, when Tywin Lannister talks, you listen, especially when he's telling you how he wants his hot dog cooked. The attentive crowd, made up of players, fans and pundits from all over the world (keep an eye out for Paul 'representin' Wallace), watch on and listen as Dance prowls around the dressing room, making everyone feel simultaneously sh*t-scared and completely revved up. 'Sh*t-revved' we're calling it here in JOE Towers. It's stirring stuff alright, but let's hope Tywin didn't have to use the toilet while he was in the dressing room, eh Game Of Thrones fans? We sad EH GAME OF THRONES FANS? *Nudge nudge wink wink* Prepare to be sh*t-revved... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl9ahNhH3Cc&feature=youtu.be Clip via IRB.
