RANKED: Top Five Rugby Union Power Couples

The old saying goes that you shouldn't mix business with pleasure - but many rugby stars have ignored that over the years.

RUCK are taking a look at nine of those football couples.

These two teammates never explicitly announced their relationship. Instead, they just started sharing pictures of each other on Instagram, and the response was incredible.

“There was never a thing of like, ‘We need to vocalize coming out,’” said Jones. “What we’re about is just being authentic and being true to who we are. You get heterosexual couples posting photos of each other on Instagram and social media. That’s all we’re doing: sharing our life on Instagram.”

As we know, LGBTQ couples sharing their lives on Instagram carries more significance than garnering “likes” and compliments. It’s another way to be visible, and help LGBTQ people feel like they’re less alone.

“If we can just help one person feel more confident and feel like they can be themselves, it just makes you want to do it more,” Quansah said.

Wallabies international Will Skelton played for Saracens men's team while his wife Katy turned out for their women's team. She's since hung up her boots to start a family while Will continues to play for La Rochelle.

The players are not only two of Colombia’s leading players but are also married. Having met in 2009 the rugby players were involved in the same tournaments and subsequently fell in love.

When Dave was announced as Bristol Bears Women's coach, most thought signing his wife Abbie, the England and Harlequins lock, was a certainty.

"If you think for a second that I was going to sign for a club because my husband is the coach, I was like 'we need to have a meeting because any club I speak to, this is how I go about it, these are my expectations'," explains Abbie.

"I would not lower them for anyone."

The Olympics have been run and won, and now rugby couple Charlotte Caslick and Lewis Holland have swapped the footy boots for farm boots on their Stanthorpe cattle property in Queensland's Granite Belt.
