"Grossly Overrated!" - Fans Pick The 5 Most Overhyped Rugby Players

"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."

"A Welshman here, but it’s George North"

"is the most overrated player of this generation, when was the last time he had a good game that wasn’t against Italy."

"Compared to standard players, the fly-half is more than decent. But, we're talking about being overrated, and Cipriani has been constantly touted by the media as the next big thing and he definitely never lived up to that mantle.

"Flashes of genuine brilliance, particularly with his boot, interspersed with a lot of unneeded errors."

"Wasted talent absolutely, but never did enough to be considered on the level some people think he's at."

"The French forward is a player who jumps to mind."

"His appearance was half his reputation. Whenever he was given the appropriate attention he folded."

"Talented athlete who put in the odd big tackle but when push came to shove he always seemed to wilt away from the physical side of the game."

"Youngs is dreadful, he's a poor decision maker, impatient, not an accurate passer and he crumbles under pressure or in any match where his pack isn't dominating the opposition."

"Ben Youngs is the most overrated English scrum half ever and isn’t in the top 4 scrum half’s in England let alone the world."

"Ben Youngs constantly proves to be our most overrated player"

"Going to be controversial but Sergio Parisse. Sure he had fantastic skills but he was a show pony and not a work horse and people often overlooked this. He looked fantastic for Italy but that was because he was allowed to do all the flashy stuff but was mediocre in other areas."

"I think Parisse got a lot of credit just for being a leader and a quality player in a poor Italy side and was never rated by anyone as anywhere near world class"

"Consistently made world xv teams on scant evidence."

"Never has a cliche ever fit a player more than overrated show pony for Sergio Parisse"
