PENNY Lancaster looks like she could be a leggy asset in a rugby line-out.

Rod Stewart’s model wife took part in a training session while presenting a charity cheque for £2,562 to the Dallaglio Foundation.
It was set up by former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio to use the game to boost confidence in disadvantaged youngsters.
Penny, 44, was there as ambassador of the – appropriately named – Penny For London charity for teenagers from deprived backgrounds.
The scheme allows commuters in the capital to donate a penny to charity every time they make a payment with their card using contactless technology.
It was such fun seeing some of the kids who are benefiting. It goes to show what a huge difference we can all make if we just donate one penny every day. We really can help young people like these.
Penny said: “It was such fun seeing some of the kids who are benefiting. It goes to show what a huge difference we can all make if we just donate one penny every day. We really can help young people like these.”
Since its launch last October, the Penny For London scheme, supported by Northern & Shell, the parent company of the Daily Express, has given away £30,000 to 10 charities.
Dallaglio, who lifted the World Cup in 2003, said: “It is a fantastic scheme that really is making a difference.”
