The creators of Dieux du Stade (namely, Max Guazzini) know their calendar product is gay bait. Because we’ve been buying these things (or at least checking them out free on the web) since their creation in 2001. More than 200,000 of these things get snapped up every year now. By this point, French rugby team Stade Français must be screening potential players for their calendar readiness than their ball playing abilities. Since 2004, Dieux du Stade has been releasing DVDs of their calendar shoots as well. So why not indulge in the trailer to their 2010 printing?

I’m half Italian and spent a lot of time in Italy, but hands down I prefer France. Always treated well in Paris, which was not necessarily true in what is becoming neo-fascist Pope-ridden Italy.
For my money, the French have it all over the rest of Europe. Even the straights are into decor there. LOL Not to mention all those cute butts.
Vive la France !

Paris is an amazing place, i agree. And I don’t care what anyone says.. they are the friendliest people I have ever been around. They have their hangups, but it’s not like here at all.

Low point: The guys lying on the ground in the artsy pose. Meh.
High points: The guy with the hot ass removing his undies at the end. Also, the guy running…always the running…run…run….
For me, it’s perfect that they don’t show the Full Monty. I’m not into uncut (personal preference), and my guess is that’s what we would see. This way I can imagine…well, something different “behind the balls”.

According to Wikipedia, the more recent calendars include athletes from other rugby teams and from other sports.
Stade Francais has won the French championship three times since they started the calendar (2003, 2004, and 2007). So I don’t think they’re choosing their players for looks.

France has far too many impossibly beautiful men.
