Quarter of Scottish rugby fans would give up sex for World Cup victory
61% willing to do housework for a year, while 59% would turn down Kirsty Gallagher for World Cup success
Scottish rugby fans are so desperate to see the national team win the World Cup that a staggering 26% would give up sex for a year, if it meant winning.
Well that’s according to a joint survey by leading men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge and popular shaving retailer The Shaving Shack.
And 61% are so keen for a first win they would do all the housework and cooking for 12 months if it meant captain Alastair Kellock lifting the Web Ellis Trophy on October 23.
Even a night of passion with Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallagher would be turned down by a whopping 59%, if it meant Scotland winning.
And there is also some very bad news for bosses, as 47 per cent said they would call a “sickie” in order to watch the games live on TV.
Nick Gibbens, spokesperson for The Bluebeards Revenge, said: “The Scots are known the world over for their love of rugby and these survey results only strengthen how passionate the country is about the sport.
“I guess its highly unlikely that Scotland will actually win the famous Web Ellis Trophy but it won’t be down to a lack of support back home.”
According to the survey of 1,285 Scottish males, its men in Glasgow that are the most passionate about the national side, with a staggering 30% saying they would knock nookie on the head for a year in return for world cup success.
Scotland face Romania in their opening Pool B game on Saturday in Invercargill. Andy Robinson’s men will also play Argentina, England and Georgia in the group stages as they look to qualify for the quarter finals.
The Bluebeards Revenge has a history of being a proud rugby supporter. In 2010, it crowned Bedford Blues rugby star Sacha Harding ‘Britain’s Manliest Man’, and the firm recently signed an agreement with the London Wasps to become an ‘official sponsor’.
The Bluebeards Revenge and The Shaving Shack surveyed 1,285 Scottish men via an email marketing campaign (http://www.shaving-shack.com/scottish-rugby) during the last week of August (See attached for a full results breakdown, including regional totals).
