What do you see in the photo? Where do you think it was taken? What is the game? Do you recognise the shirts/ teams?
This photo was taken after the Six Nations Wales v England rugby match last weekend. The photo went viral - why do you think that is?
The photo was shared by Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu who is a former premier league footballer (scoring 30 goals for his club between 2012 and 2016).
Why do you think Thomas shared the photo, what do you think he commented about?
Thomas said, "What a picture! A Welsh win over England would have been great but it's images like this that show the character of rugby."
What does Thomas mean by "the character" of a game?
What do you think is the stereotypical image of a rugby player?
What does masculine mean? Is it ok to be masculine?
Thomas goes on to describe rugby - what words could he use to describe the game?
"Heavy tackles, scrums and intense competition for possession"
What do those words mean in a rugby context?
"Would you believe that's what these players were doing moments before this photo? Rivalries drive competition but at the end of the day, the ability to switch off is just as crucial."
Why does Thomas use the word rivalries for this photo? (you can see by the shirts that the players are on opposing teams)
What does Thomas mean by "the ability to switch off"?
Why does he say that- do you agree?
Thomas ends by saying "We're all human"
Why does he say that?
We are not told the story behind the photo- what do you think the story is?
Why do you think the photo went viral? What does it show about men today?
Thomas is from Wales so he would have felt disappointed after the game - why didn't he comment about the way his team played in the match instead?
What can we learn from this photo?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
