There are plenty of heroes but everyone knows that for every hero there needs to be a villain and there are lots of rugby players ready to fill that role.
We all have players we love, or even players we can’t dislike.
Well, on the flip side there are players that just always get your blood boiling, whether rationally or irrationally.
A user on reddit asked fans to vote for their all-time 'abolute b***ard' XV with the results being very interesting.

A flanker that plays on the edge and never fails to get under the skin of opposition fans. His late hit on Stuart Hogg and foul-mouthed war of words with the Kyle Sinckler during the 2019 Six Nations did him no favours. The sort of player you love to have, but also love to hate.
