Did you know Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman is an accomplished singer and used to sing the national anthem at Australia’s rugby games in both Rugby Union and Rugby League?
If you did, fair play, but we can honestly say we didn’t and it’s pretty funny when you look back at it. The Wolverine and X-Men actor can be seen below singing the anthem before Australia’s Bledisloe Cup game with the All Blacks.
Unfortunately having Wolverine singing your national anthem wasn’t enough for the Wallabies as they lost the game 33-18.
He’s not bad at all either!
“Complete k**b” – Joe Marler reveals the three rugby stars he can’t stand
England prop Joe Marler is never afraid of sharing an opinion or two – especially when it’s about someone he doesn’t particularly like.
#1. Israel Folau
Over 1,000 days since Folau last played a professional match of rugby union, Marler’s old Twitter sparring partner made his return to the sport over the weekend.
The loose-head prop takes any chance he can to call out the former Wallabies fullback, who could soon represent Tonga, for his homophobic views.
In a series of tweets sent directly to Folau, Marler attached pictures and GIFs of men kissing, in a display of defiant humour which was praised by fellow players and LGBTQ fans alike.
Marler later named Folau in his dream team in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.
On selecting Folau as his fullback, Marler commented, “On the night out, after we had played our match on the Saturday, I’d take him out in Brighton to The Blue Oyster… a couple of clubs.”
