The Nashville Grizzlies gay-inclusive rugby team certainly know how to get us all hot under the collar! 

The players get hot and steamy in these preview pics from their 2016 calendar first published in Metro Weekly.

2016 is an important year for the Grizzles as they become the first Southern USA team to host the Bingham Cup, the gay-inclusive world cup of rugby. The tournament was named after Mark Bingham who died on the United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. 

In an interview with Metro Weekly, Thomas Hornby the Grizzlies secretary, said “I think our calendar is very body-positive. We include people of all different ages, all different builds, all different rugby positions. I think people really appreciate that. I think they find it more relatable if there are more kinds of guys in the calendar. We don’t just look for muscular, cut guys.”

You can purchase the 2016 Grizzlies Calendar, shot by photographer Chris Malone, for $15 on the team’s website.
