In this article we will take a look at fans believe are overrated and do not deserve the credit they got from the media and other fans…
In the world of rugby debates, the labels ‘overrated’ and ‘underrated’ are about as loaded as they come because the conversation is instantly about more than just their ability on the pitch.
Due to the simple fact that both those tags are related to how much fans sing their praises, it’s sometimes inevitable that great players are called overrated and average ones are underrated.
So, yes, we’re well aware that taking a peek at the ‘most overhyped rugby players in history’ is a little like walking into a minefield of controversy, but when has that ever stopped us?
Below, we take a look at the five players who came up most on a reddit thread of supporters discussing the most overhyped players.
#1. George North (Wales)
One fan wrote: “He had a few good years between 2011-2013 and then he has died down. Hasn’t looked good as the commentary teams make him out to be.”
Another added: “A Welshman here, but it’s George North”
A third commented: “is the most overrated player of this generation, when was the last time he had a good game that wasn’t against Italy.”
