The Only European Rugby Calendar You Need To Buy (Until The Next One Comes Out)

Can you believe it's already October? It seems like just yesterday we were picking our favorite Crush Objects of 2012 and telling you which sites slayed the competition last year.

Alas, 2014 is quickly approaching, and you know what that means—it's time to swoon over an assortment of crazy hot calendar boys! (Also, it means you're not getting any younger so you should go ahead and splurge on a Rentboy next year.)

To mark the glorious occasion of exposing you to the first crop of insanely gorgeous 2014 calendar boys, we've chosen to bring you the best kind: European calendar boys. The European calendar boys you're looking at now are actually French, and better yet, they're French rugby players. Does it really get any better than this?

It does, actually. They're covered in mud:

These dudes are just a handful of the many you'll find in the 2014 Les Dieux du Stade calendar, which is officially available for purchase today. Shot by Fred Goudon, it features some of the hunkiest Brit boys on the field, including Jules Plisson, Clement Daguin, Hugo Bonneval, Alexandre Flanquart, Djibril Camara, Nikola Karabatic and Olivier Giroud.

Our only suggestion? This should have been a scratch n' sniff calendar. We'd smell the fuck out of the musky, rancid man scent coming from that soaked pair of compression shorts on the locker room floor.
