Tired of seeing Dan Carter in his undies? Didn't think so. But now, thanks to a major sponsorship deal with Jockey, you'll get to see more top rugby players showing off their modelling skills. Jockey has announced today a three-year sponsorship deal with the All Blacks and All Blacks Sevens teams. The contract will see the underwear brand as the official off-field underwear sponsor of both teams. Jockey has also announced that Carter, the original rugby poster boy, has been given the role of Jockey International Global Ambassador. He says he'll be stepping away from the camera to become a spokesman for the company. "The timing is right for the All Blacks and All Black Sevens to take it from here," said Carter. A marketing expert said Jockey was obviously keen to have the All Blacks' success rub off on the company and help create a bigger brand presence and more sales.
