Former England centre Luther Burrell missed out on Eddie Jones’ first squad for the Six Nations Grand Slam triumph in 2016 with the Aussie labellig him “grossly overweight”.

He revealed his incredible body transformation online yesterday saying in the caption…

LIST | 4 other rugby stars’ INCREDIBLE body transformations

3. Ben Tameifuna

The Tongan prop has revealed an incredible weight loss in a video just months after was told he couldn’t play for a French club because he was too overweight!
