Pick the country's sexiest sportsman from these 18 studs, Ireland

Paul Green can’t talk his way into this squad.

WE WOULDN’T NORMALLY be avid readers of RSVP magazine to be honest. We just flick through it because there’s no phone reception in the hairdres… eh, doctor’s waiting room. But when they asked readers to vote for the sexiest sportsman in Ireland, we sat up and took notice.

The usual suspects are there, fashion mogul Paul Galvin, the chiselled-like-a-junior-cert-woodwork-project Rob Kearney and the mammies’ favourite G-Mac. But there are also some red herrings like the retired Kenneth Egan and Na Piarsigh clubman Seán Óg Ó hAilpín.

So, with Boylesports providing the odds, here’s who is tipped for the top of RSVP readers’ “to do” list.

Graeme McDowell

The major winner is a 100/1 shot, but we still fancy him more than Adam Scott.

Robbie Keane

Natch, the captain of Ireland is super sexy. But like Rors, Ken and G-Mac he’s a long-shot to be risking money on.

INPHO/Donall Farmer

David Gillick

The only athletics star on the list, this nomination is sure to make up for missing the Olympics and stuff. Here he is about to say a bad word.

Joe Canning

33/1 sound like great odds to us. We’re reliably informed that JC is an icon among young ladies of a certain age these days. So if that particular phone-wielding demographic can hijack the vote, Galway could have an All-Ireland title coming their way.
