... a drama student at Queen’s University, said her impromptu performance was “a bit of fun, but also to make a point”.
“I think the adverts sexualise women’s rugby in the wrong way,” she told the Belfast Telegraph. “I wouldn’t have a problem with the ads if they showed actual women rugby players instead of very skinny models rolling around in the dirt. So I decided to do it to make a point and because it’s funny.”
The Harlequins player said her team-mates had mixed views about the advertising campaign: “A couple, like me, are opposed to it, but a couple of the girls are gay and they think the ads are great.”

if more woman rugby players looked like the girls in the adverts, instead of this prop, then I'm sure the sport would enjoy a much higher profile.
my fellow knight makes a good point - a gut like that throwing away crisps must mean the campaign is close to her heart. Or can anyone confirm that after making her dirty protest she got down on all fours and scoffed every last crumb of the carrick turf???

Surely they're Tayto Salt & Vinegar, as Tayto cheese & onion are in a yellow bag?

Not Tayto made by Largo as they are in a red and blue bag
(it gets complicated Colin so don't even try to work it out)
She is however chucking a perfectly good bag of salt and vinegar Hunky Dorys over herself

Look guys it was a one liner. For comedic effect I chose cheese and onion as Tayto's definitive product. I honestly didnt analyse the bag!
BTW. Does anyone else think that the Southern Mr. Tayto looks like Louis Walsh?
Now you have gone and totally confused Colin
