Fans have picked an all-time ‘abolute b***ard’ XV of most disliked rugby union players
15 Israel Folau (Tonga)
14 Yoann Huget (France)
13 Tana Umaga (New Zealand)
12 Brian Lima (Samoa)
11 Sevu Reece (New Zealand)
10 Owen Farrell (England)
Could it be anybody else? Farrell fits the label “our guy” better than most, meaning you love to hate him unless he’s in your squad. Then you’d go to the end’s of the earth to defend him. The England captain, also known as 'Shoulder boy' for his high tackling, does himself no favours with his poor tackling technique.

9 Mike Phillips (Wales)
1 Joe Marler (England)
2 Dane Coles (New Zealand0
3 Richard Loe (New Zealand)
4 Bakkies Botha (South Africa)
5 Thomas Lavanini (Argentina)
6 Peter O'Mahony (Ireland)
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.
