Cardiff Blues play Calvisano in Round 3 of the Heineken Cup on Saturday 10 December at Calvisano's Centro Sportive San Michele, but Blues fans could be forgiven for having one eye on further shores on as one of their own is competing in the finals of the Miss World contest in Sanya, China.
Heineken Cup Final Ambassador, Claire Evans won the Miss Wales title in July, and will now compete in the "Grand Final" alongside over 120 contestants from all corners of the globe on December 10.
Blues fan Claire, 22, travelled to China earlier in November just weeks after helping to launch the 11th Heineken Cup tournament at Cardiff Castle.
And the Blues are calling on all their fans to get out their mobile phones and vote for Claire. You can cast your vote for her by texting mw220 and sending it to 81106 or by calling 0901 111 2005 and voting mw220.
Each contestant will be allocated a number for worldwide SMS voting or via the Voting Hotline in their particular country. Viewers may vote for two contestants from their continent to go through to the Miss World Final, although there is no limit on the number of votes they may cast.
At the close of voting points will be awarded according to a voting-points structure. An effective formula will ensure that votes from all countries equate, regardless of the size of population, voting medium or overall number of votes.
Viewers will have the chance to cast votes for their favourite girls until 12 hours before the start of the two-hour live televised Final.
Claire is a keen sportswoman and hopes to pursue her dream of representing Wales in the woman's marathon event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi.
