O2 have possibly made the worst advert ever for England rugby

The O2 rugby league advert actually gives me chills
@katyisobel
O2 rugby advert. I’m a Scottish O2 customer. What’s the number for Orange?
@drmuig
Having all sorts of filthy thoughts after seeing the @O2 rugby giants advert!

Even as a Scotsman I think the advert for O2 & the English rugby team is superb. God almost got me wanting to support them

Ian Dowds, chief executive, UKOM
Ian Dowds has become the latest experienced media operator to take up a role at an industry body. The former Trinity Mirror managing director of digital media has become the chief executive of the online measurement joint venture UKOM.
