Barbarians second-row Will Skelton was dismissed for a ‘thuggish’ head hit on replacement England prop Patrick Schickerling at Twickenham this afternoon.

However, this wasn’t his only questionable hit with the Wallabies second-row smashing Tom Curry in the opening five minutes.

The five dirtiest rugby players of all-time have been ranked

There is a fine line between being an aggressive, hard nosed player and a dirty one. With some players it is difficult to distinguish whether or not they are simply playing with grit and determination

Here are, in RUCK’s opinion, the 5 dirtiest rugby players in history.

#5. Danny Grewcock

A second row with something of a short fuse. Picked up a five-week ban after being sent off for kicking All Blacks hooker Anton Oliver in a Test in Dunedin in 1998, two weeks for punching Lawrence Dallaglio in a club match in 2003, two months for biting All Black hooker Keven Mealamu during the first Lions Test in 2005, six weeks for punching French lock Thibault Privat in 2007, and seven weeks for stamping on Ulster flanker Stephen Ferris in 2010. Knew his way to the disciplinary offices and deserves his place among the dirtiest rugby players!
