Just some giant England players animated in a cheapo-stylee.

The O2 Jerusalem one is better. Stirs the soul.

Looks like they've tried to copy the animation style of this fantastic, very underrated film....

The lucozade ad on Eurosport is an embarrassment even the players taking part in it look embarrassed

Beyond awful.

Why do the cartoon giants look like they are wearing lipstick ?

All very odd, and a little sinister. I hate to think how much money was spent on it.

Now this is a promo film:

Damn sight better than squeezing Gary Barlow's head between your powerful thighs, I'd say.

And how about this for some fairly obvious score-settling?

Oh god yes I had blocked out that awful "thighs squeezing boy band" one. I really really hope all involved got paid A LOT of money for that indignity.

I think it is rather good - very in tune with Lancaster's ethos

The one with Martin Johnson getting his bum patted by Jack Whitehall made me chuckle. Dunno what it was advertising though.

I really enjoyed the animated TV Ad'

Very clever bit of work and a really good way to encourage the English public to support the team 8)

...and I've just watched the New Zealand team advertising the airline. That is truly awful. Almost as bad as some of the England Football team songs!!! ๐Ÿ™„

I think the O2 add is atrocious, how can such a exciting sport that induces such patriotic fervour be displayed so insipidly?

The welsh 6 nations one was better.
