IT'S getting hairy for Newport Gwent Dragons forward Richard Parks.
Newport-born Richard, who returned to the city to play this season, is growing a moustache to raise awareness and cash for male cancer charity Everyman.
He decided to join the TacheBack campaign after friends who play for Wasps became involved.
"I think it's a really good idea - we can have a laugh doing it but obviously there's a serious message underneath," said the former Welsh international.
"I have had a personal experience of cancer when someone in my family was diagnosed with it but thankfully they came out the other side."
He added he was happy to do his bit if it raised awareness about the issue.
Anyone who would like to support Richard's hirsute efforts should contact Kath McCarthy as Newport Gwent Dragons. Telephone 01633 674958.
