Rugby Stars Lock Lips. How About That Locker Room Victory Kiss?
On the Top14Rugby Instagram site, a photo dropped on June 30th that instantly went viral... And it easy to see why.
In it, Toulouse stars Jack Willis and Blair Kinghorn are seen kissing. No, it isn't a romantic kiss (as far as we know): the pair are celebrating their victory in an extra-time game with the Bordeaux Begles. They won 39-33 and secured their third straight league crown.
Toulouse's 39-33 thrilling extra-time triumph over Bordeaux Begles, which secured the victors a third straight league crown.
In the pic, Willis, who is British, is on the left wearing a gold medal; Kinghorn, who is Scottish, is seen in a Speedo with a pattern of the team's logo. Both hold a large replica of a medal given the team for the league crown. Willis established himself as a flanker for the Wasps Rugby Football Club from 2016-2022. After the team disbanded, he joined Toulouse, France's most successful rugby club where he became a key player. Kinghorn began playing rugby in 2015 in multiple positions for Edinburgh Rugby before moving over to Toulouse in 2023.
But while the pic throws off a queer vibe, both men are straight. Willis is engaged to his long-term girlfriend, Megan Ely. They are engaged, having gotten engaged in late 2023, and have two children. Blair Kinghorn is also engaged to his girlfriend Dina Celina, a nutritionist.
Kinghorn is also seen doing a victory dance in the stadium despite the sweltering heat in Paris.
