"Ashamed he played for us" - Fans Rank The 5 Most Hated Rugby Players

In fact, so rarely that not even all the players on this list are universally hated.However this list is based on the strength of rugby fans' hate for the player as opposed to the amount of people that hate them.

Fans have been voting on a poll, and the results really aren't surprising.

Biggar is the epitome of players you hate until they are on your team.The way the fly-half continues to moan to referees vociferously has seemingly only got worse throughout his career. It got so bad that popular online personality and diehard Scotland fan Glove39 made a video called ‘birdman’ mocking the way in which he always raises his arms in frustration to officials.

A flanker that plays on the edge and never fails to get under the skin of opposition fans. His late hit on Stuart Hogg and foul-mouthed war of words with the Kyle Sinckler during the 2019 Six Nations did him no favours. The sort of player you love to have, but also love to hate.

The blokes just like, violence personified.

One fan wrote: "I hate Calum Clark because he did one of the vilest things I've ever seen on a rugby pitch and I'm ashamed that it happened while he was at Saints and then continued to play for us for years after."

Could it be anybody else? Farrell fits the label “our guy” better than most, meaning you love to hate him unless he’s in your squad. Then you’d go to the end’s of the earth to defend him. The England captain, also known as 'Shoulder boy' for his high tackling, does himself no favours with his poor tackling technique.
