Hottie of the Week: Israel Dagg

He was one of the best players of the 2011 Rugby World Cup and was the most playful, with his confetti angels and handshakes making girls giddy.

Just because the RWC is over it doesn’t mean we have to stop loving the players so this week’s Hottie of the Week is Israel Dagg.

Take a look at five fun facts about our boy:

1. Israel was born on 6th June 1988, making him 23, in Marton, New Zealand.

2. His nicknames are Izzy, The Bald Eagle and he considers All Blacks Zac Guildford, Richard Kahui and Cory Jane as close friends.

3. Izzy is a keen fisherman and often takes his boat out with his friends.

4. When not playing for the All Blacks, Izzy plays for the Canterbury Crusaders alongside Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. Previously he had played for the Highlanders.

5. Izzy has a girlfriend of five years Daisy.

Hope that gave you a bit of juice on our up-and-coming star!
