Rugby World Cup winner Ben Cohen has shown off his blistering pace - by beating a wolf in a race at Wembley.
The unusual event took place to promote a brand of footwear, under the banner “fast or food?”.
Fortunately for Cohen, his lupine opponent – a Canadian timber wolf by the name of Monty – was in a cage, so there was little danger of him ending up as lunch.
Cohen admitted: “It’s probably the most surreal thing I’ve ever done, but I’m always up or a new challenge so I gave it a go. The looks we got from the crowds were very bizarre.”
The 31-year-old, who plays for Sale Sharks, is hoping to regain his place in the England team, having not represented his country since 2006.
He’s obviously still got the pace for it – even if eyewitness reports suggest that Monty was slightly less committed to the cause than most of Ben’s rugby opponents.
