England and Harlequins flanker Chris Robshaw stepped up his pre-season training earlier this week by dragging an A380 super jumbo jet around an airport in Kent.

The 27-year-old, who sat out England's recent tour of Argentina to re-charge, had a little help in the form of the Springbok duo of Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers while model Georgia May Jagger provided a little glamour to compliment the grunt.

The bizarre PR exercise was staged to publicise the iminent launch of British Airways' giant A380 Airbus which will begin regular flights from London to Los Angeles in September and Hong Kong in October.
