Yesterday a certain Reinsurance Towers editor got to spend a few hours ogling the great and the good of the English rugby team, courtesy of QBE. (For our American readers - rugby is a bit like American football but with less protective gear and a lot more ass-slapping.)

Other than realizing that Nick Easter looks spookily like an older version of my husband, I managed to get a few details about the sponsorship deal that QBE have struck up with the England team.

QBE are apparently now the exclusive insurance sponsor of the England team until 2013 and the deal also includes a decent number of tickets at games. So, anyone else off to find a new best friend at QBE?

Enjoy the rest of your week
