2014’s calendar sold so well, and raised so much awareness that the players have decided to strip off again.
Ever since Calendar Girls stormed cinema screens in 2003, the idea of stripping off for a good cause has been a noble exploit.
Last year, Oxford University Women’s Rugby Football Club decided they would lend their support to an on-campus mental health campaign, ‘Mind Your Head’.
This time around, money raised from calendar sales will be donated to charity Beat, which helps individuals affected by eating disorders or difficulties with weight or shape.
Oxford captain Carli Bliss told The Daily Mail, “Not only was it a great team building exercise but knowing we were raising money for our club and for such an amazing charity spurred us all on the brave the chilly October afternoon.”
On December 10, Oxford take on Cambridge in the first ever women’s varsity match at Twickenham.
The players may find themselves inundated for interview requests and TV spots following the release of their 2016 calendar.
