To celebrate (or exploit) the start of the Rugby World Cup, Orange have enlisted French legend Zinedine Zidane to star in a few rugby themed commercials. This one's my favourites, but the rest can be found on this special YouTube channel.
It's all very amusing, but I can't help wishing Zidane would prolong his career just a season or two, before it's too late. I'd love to see him in MLS, as he's one of the only players who could arrive in America with a profile similar to Beckham. While Becks is known as "the celebrity," Zidane is famous for his World Cup headbutt on Marco Materazzi. How great would it be for a nation of gawkers to tune in out of curiosity and hoping for another bout of violence (a bit like watching NASCAR for the crashes I suppose) only to be enraptured by the Zizou's magic on the ball? Plus he's got two good ankles, unlike other prospective MLS saviours.
