Wonderful Video of Rugby-playing Ents.

In my earlier post I mentioned the rugby.

I found this clip on You-tube and am posting it to brighten up the day of those whose sides lost... and even those whose sides won.

The Irish amongst my FL may have seen it before.

For the Tolkien-verse friends, even if you have no idea what Rugby is, do watch - I can only describe this Guinness ad as 'Ents play Rugby'!! (Although perhaps rather hasty ents...!)

Very cool! Though I don't remember Ents being that quick on the roots.

Only very hasty ents play rugby... that's my theory anyway!

Goodness! Guinness has come a long way from the toucan!

Hasn't it just? They do have some wonderful adverts - but these 'ents' just appealed to me.

That's great!

I love ents.

Thank you. Considers Fangorn v France... now that would be a game worth watching!

Rather hasty ents indeed!

Aren't they? But fun!

Heee, what fun. Thanks for the link.

My pleasure. Considers Ents v England match... I'd certainly watch it!

Now that's just... cool.

Guinness do have some of the best adverts. There is a whole 'channel' of them on You-tube and they are really good fun.

They are the young and hasty ents.

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Teenaged ents... yes, that would account for them!

I can't help thinking that if the opposing team has anyone who can actually run, they'll win :-)

It's a great bit of animation though!

I think of it as Fangorn versus The Old Forest or something similar...

Or they could just stick out the odd root and trip up the opposition!
