The Gunners have been playing a bit of rugby at their London Colney training base.

Towering centre-back Per Mertesacker fancies himself as a decent second-rower. He was lifted for a lineout, which he took cleanly.

Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny’s face suggests that lifting Mertesacker is not something he would want to do on a regular basis.
