RFU dismayed by Grand Slam ad leak

THE Rugby Football Union have expressed their dismay that an advertisement celebrating England winning the Grand Slam has been leaked.

The video, produced by their official kit supplier Nike, shows several players, among them Toby Flood, Chris Ashton and Ben Foden, in a series of action clips.

Signing off the advert that has been widely circulated on the internet is an image of England’s red rose emblem on top of a caption reading ‘Grand Slam Champions 2011’.
