Get the popcorn out and enjoy as I make a total ass of myself from these Top 5 Unpopular Rugby Opinions.
#1. Rob Baxter would be terrible as England head coach
He's way overrated. People seem to be fond him just because he's a likeable chap. He has one way of playing and if that doesn't work they just try the same system harder.

#2. Drop goals are Extremely Good and teams should attempt more of them
Justice for drop-goals.
#3. England were completely robbed in the 2007 World Cup Final
It was clearly a try for anybody with two working eyes.
#4. Less Haka please
It's an incredible sight to behold, but every game? It's getting a bit tedious.
#5. Alun Wyn Jones was a decent player
Definely an unpopular opinion in Wales, despite all of his achievements he'd never ever get into an all-time XV ahead of the likes of Martin Johnson, John Eales and even Eben Etzebeth. He also looks finished at international level.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
