Prince Harry tells naked truth about his love of rugby
By AAP
The Duke of Sussex has revealed the depth of his love for the game of rugby - collecting signatures from England's stark naked World Cup-winning team.
Harry's comments were aired on a US chat show this week, with the royal answering 15 light-hearted questions.
He joined the likes of U2 singer Bono and former first lady Michelle Obama in completing the Colbert Questionert when he was a guest on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Asked if he had ever requested someone's autograph, he replied: "Yes, the England rugby team in 2003... at the World Cup final after a few drinks wearing an England rugby top.
"I was going, 'Jonny, Jonny, Mike, Mike, Lawrence come on sign my shirt'."
Harry was in Sydney to watch the England squad, who included Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio and Mike Tindall, beat Australia in the Rugby World Cup final.
"And they're all there standing naked with their willies hanging out - but I got all 15 signatures and was really happy with that."
Harry smiled when Colbert quipped, "They signed it with pens, yes?"
Tindall married the duke's cousin Zara Phillips in 2011 after Harry is said to have introduced the couple.

Nice to read something positive about Vunivalu; it doesn’t happen often. I despair for rugby in Oz. Unless some form of compensation for the teams producing players is devised, there is no obvious way for us to combat poachers coming to grab players in their prime with bigger pay cheques. A return to the SR crowds we were getting in 2010-2014 and a quadrupling of the TV deal would be a start but I don’t see how those things happen. Perhaps the government could be encouraged to deliver tax breaks like in Ireland?
Go to commentsI wasn’t aware that the blitz targeted space so, as usual, something learned from reading one of your articles, Nick. Watching the game live I attributed the Saints’ inaccuracy to their own mistakes and nerves. Perhaps some credit to the Leinster D.
