We all have a fascination with the darker side of rugby. For every shining example of sportsmanship in rugby union, there exists an equally potent undercurrent of controversy, ensuring a harmonious balance. It’s a cosmic dance of opposites, where every hero has their counterpart in a villain.
While we derive immense joy from witnessing the triumphs of the sport’s revered figures, there’s an undeniable allure in watching a star plummet from the celestial heights and crash down to earth.
We conducted a poll to uncover those individuals who, whether through their actions on or off the pitch, have earned themselves an undesirable reputation in the world of rugby.
#5. Tomas Lavanini (Argentina)
Believe me, I’m as shocked as you are that Lavinini managed to find his way into this list considering the stand-up player that he is (sarcastic).
Being serious, he is one of the most entertaining rugby players to watch because of his reckless and aggressive behaviour.
