Interesting you should mention his accent (it's not exactly swanky, though, as you put it.) Ben Cohen is clinically deaf and has been involved in making sports more accessible to deaf children. His speech must be affected by his deafness.

So, to summarize: 1) helps gay kids, 2) helps deaf kids and, 3) those thighs (plus the rest of him). Sigh.

I'd jump on his bandwagon any day.

I'm not usually into bearish rugby guys. But... holy shit. So kind. And woof! Whoever he's married to is a lucky lucky person.

*double swoon*

That is just a cool guy. I wonder if growing up deaf gave him the understanding of isolation and loneliness he talks about. Need more people like that in the world.

Any US sports stars contributed? How about Scott Fujita?
