We don’t normally feature cars on here, but as this ad features Zara Phillips, the first Royal in direct line to the throne to appear in an advert, and the first in hotness, as the new face of Land Rover, we decided to treat you. She is shown leading her horse from it’s trailer, as a footballing jack the lad tries it on with some terrible one liners and a dig about how riding a horse takes no skill. Zara and the horse listen for a while then the horse retorts in a suitably dignified manner. Unfortunately, in the lead up to the Olympics the 'curse of the commercial' has struck and Zara's horse, Toytown, got injured and looks like she wont be going to Beijing after all. Anyway have a look at the ad below.

This Adidas advert called "Of this earth", tells the story of the heritage of the All Blacks and the hometowns that have produced the 1,071 players who have so far worn the famous black shirt for their country. It features the current All Blacks team as well as legends Jonah Lomu and Sir Brian Lochore.

In the ad, each player is shown standing next to a square of turf from their home field, which is transported to France in the final shot to make up a patchwork World Cup pitch.

The intricacies of The Haka, the ritual war challenge made by the All Blacks before each rugby match, are explained in this Adidas ad, called "All Blacks".

It features players including captain Richie McCaw and fly-half Daniel Carter explaining the meaning of the Maori Haka, which has been performed at the start of every All Blacks match since 1884. A traditional Maori artist was employed to make sure the animated sequences in the ad were accurate.

O2 Ireland advertisment featuring Willie John McBride, Ciaran Fitzgerald, Simon Geoghaghan, Keith Wood and Brian O'Driscoll.

"It's not who stands in front of you that's important. It's who stands behind you."

Remember the school game 'British Bulldogs' - well here it is in all its glory, but with a few bigger hits than in schooldays!

Advert for Iveco Trucks using the All Blacks, the Haka and some lights.

Adidas produce limited edition team posters of the All Blacks and include blood from the team in the prints. Hell yeah.

Jonah Lomu banters about his illness whilst promoting Adidas. He's not a bad artist!

An Adidas advert using the All Blacks and a load of Maoris doing the Haka. It works.

Really good Nike advert made before the 2003 World Cup. Not shown in England for some reason. Quality stuff though as a whole horde of rugby stars run riot through London (I think).
