I realized that Guillaume Boussès is missing. He makes his debut in 2007 and appears in 2008. 2009. 2010. 2012 and 2014 editions. Here is 2007. On the second pic, he is on the top right. On the thir pic, he is in the middle on the top.

I would have so much fun with these guys!

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I'm unable to find it - why did they shut it down and is there any news of it coming back.

Covid 19 is the reason for the pause in 2021 and 2022, but why the calendar is not coming back is unknown to me - maybe sales went down before the shutdown?

the last player who made his debut in the 2008 calendar was French rugby player Thomas Combezou (born 1987). He was seen in as many as 11 calendars: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. First, the images from 2008 and 2009

now I will continue to the 2009 calendar, photographed by Peter Lindberg. The cover model was Argentine rugby player Sergio Francesco Parisse. All images with him have been posted previously (he had his debut in the 2006 calendar), so I will only post the 2009 cover. I will post all the 21 players that had their debut in 2009 - for more than half of them it was also their sole appearance. Unlike in previous calendars, quite a few of these new faces were not rugby players.
