When you think of the term WAG, a pretty, made-up trophy wife or girlfriend comes to mind.
But this year's breed supporting their sporty other-halves in the Rugby World Cup are career women in their own right.
As well as the typical beauty queens and models in the talented bunch are sporting stars, actresses, singers and even the token royal.

No doubt some of the women will provide a bit of colour to the sidelines as they cheer on their men in New Zealand.
Zara Phillips leads the pack as the most internationally-recognised face.
The Queen's granddaughter, 32, is recently married to England outside centre Mike Tindall, 32.
She has kept devoted royalists guessing as to whether she will make a trip downunder to watch any of the games.

Next in line as one of the most successful WAGs is The Saturday's Una Healy who established herself as a singer long before meeting her boyfriend, England's Ben Foden, 26.

She tweeted: 'Best of luck to @ben_foden in his first ever World Cup game today:) Also best of luck to Ireland who play tomorrow x'
