English Rugby champ Ben Cohen is everything our infamous Ben C. football champ isn't. He's a 6'2" hairy beef-slab who's all for healthy-living - his favourite hobbies are walking the dog and mowing on the lawn and when he likes to get wild, he takes helicopter lessons. On the field he's a dedicated player who holds 52 test caps and several all-time try records, and unlike our Ben - who we adore, mind you - he hasn't been found lying face down and unconscious in the gutter outside casinos. Almost literally, he's Ben Cousins without the sins.

Anyway, he's just released his 2008 calendar called The Real Ben Cohen and it features great snaps of Ben in a half-discarded tuxedo, chilling in his trackies and of course, the February shirtless shot.

Ben is like a fusion of Matthew Fox and retired Australian Rugby League hero Wayne Pearce and his quiet, almost secretive demeanour lets our imaginations run as free as a flock of happy gazelles.

Ben is hot but before you vote for him in Spunk Of The Month, October '07, take our quick poll: who's hotter - Ben Cohen or Ben Cousins?
