Tight shorts, sweaty men and hard tackles. Sounds like a gay mans dream!
RUGBY has never had so many LGBT role models including a former Wales, British and Irish Lions captain in Gareth Thomas and a current top line referee in Nigel Owens to name but two.
Then there are people like Ben Cohen, a World Cup winner who tirelessly supports the LGBT+ community.
But whilst inclusive gay teams have popped up all across the world since the Kings Cross Steelers formation, in London in 1995, the south coast has seemed to lag behind.
But that is now a thing of the past!
Wessex Wyverns RFC have arrived, a team based in Southampton currently boasting players from Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Southampton and Basingstoke and open to members from all over.
Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes, one look at Wessex Wyverns RFC and you can see they embody that mantra.
Wessex Wyverns RFC have already proved worthy opponents, winning against some very notable teams, including Kings Cross Steelers, Cardiff Lions and Bristol Bisons. They have quickly built a great reputation of being a great team.
On Sunday May 3, the Wessex Wyverns RFC will launch their new kit at The London Hotel, 2 Terminus Terrace, Southampton. Everyone is welcome to go along and check out the beefcake at around 7.30pm.
