Hooked on stars ; ; ;SJ Berwin partner Jonathan Metliss found himself playing hooker, so to speak, at a rugby reception last week held by the sports group he heads in advance of last weekends England v South Africa match.

Several sports personalities dropped in, including chunky former England prop forward Victor Ubogu (left) and Tony Diprose, the Saracens and England no.8 (right), who cut a swathe through the packed party simply by virtue of being absolutely enormous and intimidating.

Definitely men you want on your side, which presumably is the impression Mr Metliss is aiming for.
