4 times rugby stars were named the 'most hated' person in a country

The Wallabies were on the other side of this one when Joubert erroneously awarded Australia a late penalty.

The play should have seen the Wallabies been given a scrum feed, instead Bernard Foley kicked the goal and Australia went to the semis after a 35-34 win. 

I still don't think the South African is allowed into Scotland with some fans believing that he's still running away from Stuart Hogg to this day..

Many Kiwis still haven't gotten over Barnes' performance in the 2007 RWC quarter-final against France. Barnes missed a clear forward pass from Damien Traille to Freddie Michalak in the lead up to a France try. It led to the All Blacks' earliest ever exit from a World Cup, and Barnes was subsequently named the most hated man in New Zealand. 

Let's just say they were bitter over their 2003 Rugby World Cup defeat.

In his own words, the fullback is a ‘marmite player’ with fans either loving or hating him. A skinhead who enjoys confrontation is not the traditional mould for an England No15.
