Ollie Hassell-Collins may not have been among England's try-scorers in a 31-14 Six Nations win over Italy but the London Irish wing still made an eye-catching impression at Twickenham on Sunday -- thanks to nail polish.

The 24-year-old, winning just his second cap, defied convention in the infamously macho world of rugby by painting his nails in the red and white colours of the St George's cross, England's national flag.

"Look good, feel good, play good," Hassell-Collins had said in the build-up to this second-round match. "I'm a strong believer in it."
