The hilarious Maro Itoje advert that nobody knows about
A hilarious Maro Itoje tv advert has suddenly re-emerged online 3 years after it was originally released. We had no idea that this ad even existed!
In a skit released by BT Sport, the Saracens player who was 22-years-old at the time swaps the grind of the training paddock for a desk job.
Clad in his Sarries gear and trademark scrum cap, Itoje, who has been a force of nature for club and country over the past two years, kicks back in his new role as an office worker.
Meanwhile, Brian – who has taken Itoje’s place in the Saracens squad – is put through a punishing session with the ‘Wolfpack’, getting stuck into some lineout mauling and scrummaging as well as feeling the full force of some punishing hits from some of Sarries’ grizzled forwards.
We genuinely had no idea this ad even existed and we have been following rugby forever!
