A number of famous rugby players have stripped off to raise money for armed forces charities.<\/p>\n
All funds from the calendar will go to Rugby for Heroes – which has been created by former Gloucester teammates Ryan Lamb and Anthony Allen.<\/p>\n
Worchester's Marcel Garvey is Mr January in the campaign and he told the Sunday Mercury he was happy to assist with such a good cause.<\/p>\n
"It's good to help [soldiers] because when they come back sometimes there is nothing there for them," he added.<\/p>\n
Rugby for Heroes offers courses and mentoring to returning troops to help them adapt to life back in the UK.<\/p>\n
British Lions Tom Croft, Mike Tindall and Ugo Monye are some of sportsmen who have taken part in the shoot.<\/p>\n
Among the celebrities who have lent their support to the charity are actor Danny Dyer, musician Simon Webbe and TV presenters Gabby Logan and Tiff Needell.<\/p>\n
