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.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.

  • Perspective Video Workshop
    Perspective Video Workshop Learning Intentions: Young people will watch and observe elite athletes share personal experiences in both a sporting and non- sporting context. The facilitator will seek to highlight discussion points for participants so that they can reflect and recognise how these principles are applicable in everyday life. The goal is for the participants to understand, reflect and implement the relevant behaviours from the discussion in their school, sports team, work and wider community. Video topic focus Perspective Video Facilitation Workshop Goals To understand and foster healthy discussions based on the video content. To encourage change if needed in the participants and provide strategies to do this. Format • Play video • Discussion • Key messages summary • Strategies • Action plan challenge • Closing quote Play video Play the entire Perspective video (3.26 mins duration) Jerome Kaino Optional: Replay the Jerome Kaino section of the video (00:11–00:40 mins) (00:11–00:40 mins) Point 1: I learned the hard way. Coming through the grades for me it was all about rugby. Nothing else mattered but as I went through the years I realised that it is really important to have interests outside of rugby and focus outside of the game. Point 1 discussion question: Why do you think the player realised, as he got older, that it was really important to have interests outside of rugby? Facilitator notes Point 1: Having other interests gives you balance, so if anything happens in your rugby, like a serious injury, you don’t lose your whole world as you have other things to concentrate on.
