All who have played the great game of rugby knows that until you’ve acquired an official nickname within the club you play, you’ve not really yet made it.
We’ve taken some time out to choose our favourite monikers from the current British & Irish Lions squad.
#1. COURTNEY LAWES (CORPSE OR BIG GOOSE)
George North announced to the media the nicknames of his Northampton team-mate but not the reasons behind them. You can work out tipping the tape measure to 6ft 7in is behind Big Goose while Corpse is a play on his name.
#2. JOSH NAVIDI (NAVICCI)
Because he’s a part-time DJ so it’s kind of Navidi/Avicii – Navicii!
#3. ALI PRICE (AH-HA-LI PRICE)
The Scottish playmaker nickname amongst his team mates at Glasgow is "Ah-ha-li Price" in reference to another famous Norfolk resident, Alan Partridge.
#4. ELLIOT DALY (BRIEFCASE)
The England star got his nickname after turned up at his first Wasps training session in his Whitgift school uniform and carrying you know what!
#5. HAMISH WATSON (PINBALL)
The nickname is in reference to his unique running style which sees him bounce off several players over a short distance whilst carrying the ball.
