Morning Man Encore: Mark Gasnier!

Here is the oh-so-hunky Mark Gasnier, an Australian rugby star who just retired from the game.

What. A. Body.

The 30-year-old athlete had played for eleven seasons with the St. George Illawarra Dragons and had been named captain in 2008.

He had three years remaining on his contract at the time of his retirement but explained that he did not have the drive to play rugby in 2012.

“It was something I’d considered for a long time,” he told the media earlier this year. “It suits everyone involved with the decision, I can move on with the next stage of my life and the club can move on.”
