A UK Rugby club in Cambridgeshire has this week confirmed they will be hosting the first naked Rugby Sevens tournament.
Hosted at Somersham RFC, the event is the brainchild of local businessman, naturist and rugby player Luke Atmerear.
“I am delighted to have found a club who have embraced my idea so closely.”
Mr Atmerear has campaigned for years to host an event such as this.
“I thought of the idea while on a naturist holiday on the Isle of Wight some four years ago, the majority of the clubs I spoke to wanted nothing to do with the idea, but with the support from the guys and girls at the East Anglia Naturist society we now have a exciting new event in our social calendar.”
Chairman of Somersham RFC, Rory Underwear added,
“Like all small rugby clubs funding is tight and we feel that being the founding partner of naked rugby could be a great way to raise our profile and some much needed cash.
“Oh they are an open minded bunch, I’m sure their wives will be please not to have to wash the kit!”
The format of the tournament is 7-a-side mixed touch rugby followed by a traditional British BBQ and party.
“I feel I am only scratching the surface of the potential of naked rugby, not only will the naturists in East Anglia enjoy it, but I am sure there are a few lads and ladesses in the traditional rugby fraternity who might fancy a change.”
The tournament is being held at the Somersham rugby club on the 26th June 2010 for more information please contact Luke Atmerear nakedrugby@ur7s.com

This is obviously part of a trend. By pure coincidence on the same day there was press release concerning clothing in town centres. It explained on which days burkas would be required and on which days nudity. However this article is not as much of an April Fool as it may appear. There is at least one annual nude rugby tournament.

Saw through the above April Fool joke immediately. I mean really, who on earth would write a comment describing naked rugby as "just so wrong"?

Dear Richard,I am saddened to read in your blog about the way that you perxess your dilemma by comparing it to a person who suffers from schizophrenia. This may be a misuse of words but nonetheless, it's hard to fathom how you as a Dean can use this comparison. I as a resident in Psychiatry, deal with the stigma that mental illness brings on a daily basis, and this is not an easy task. In my opinion, this comparison is hurtful to the people who suffer from this illness, and perpetuates the perception that the general public and some of those in the medical field have about mental illness. I hope that you as a Dean can advocate for the education of the general public and those in the medical field regarding mental illness.Thanks,Dr. Gonzalez Lejarza, PGY-5 Psychiatry
