jizmongous - another blog - this time fm Spen the Viking

Above: Todd Clever always gets mixed up with Michael bolton when theyre out playing bingo
One of the things that's been intriguing me about the RWC so far is the amusing array of shit hair styles on display.

Once upon a time, we had to rely on Paul Griffin or the Wales team for ridiculous facial adornments and shit haircuts; but in this World Cup we have been gifted with a plethora of comedy hirsuteness.

We have, on one American flank the Michael Bolton-esque locks of Todd Clever, and on the other, the tribute to 1980s Germanity that is the mullet and shitty blond moustache of Louis Stanfill.

The Canadian forwards have brought the 19th Century fur-trapper look with them to New Zealand, while their backs have revived the 'Sick Boy from Trainspotting' late 1990s peroxide job.

Even Ma'a Nonu appears to have just got back from his holidays in Thaliraki, judging by the multicoloured braids that have been added to his normally Predator-style dreads.

In fact, the one notable omission from the Rugby World Cup of hairyness, is the very welcome disappearance of John Kirwan's stupid little lump of beard from underneath his bottom lip. Good riddance.

So which, if any, coifferie faux pas have tickled your funny bone so far?

Not to mention that Tongan bloke with the Ronald McDonald red perm.

Then of course there is Manu Tuilangi's rat's tail - apparently worn in honour of his staple diet before he moved to England.
