Nearly all rugby fans love players that fall under the so-called ‘sh**house’ category.
Well, maybe love, maybe hate – they divide opinion, of that we’re absolutely certain.
In truth you’ll probably find that some players you love for their cheeky, sometimes downright outrageous antics.
But who are the biggest sh**houses within the beautiful game right now?
We’ve named, who feel at least, to be the five finest.
#5. Peter O'Mahony
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.
#4. Joe Marler
What a bloke.
#3. Dan Biggar
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.
#2. Eben Etzebeth
The world Cup-winning lock is undoubtedly world-class, but he is also one of the dirtiest players in the sport. If your team has played against him, you will not be a fan. A proper sh**house, but huge biceps.
#1. Jonny Hill
Jonny Hill doing Jonny Hill things was one of the highlights of England's series win against the Wallabies this past summer.
Hair pulling
The antics of the second-row kicked off in Perth as his hair pulling on Darcy Swain led to the the Wallabies second-row hitting him with a head-butt and subsequently getting sent off in the first test.
Asking for a hand
The England lock was getting under the skin of the Wallabies players once again in the second test as he asked for a help up before having a good laugh.
One fan wrote: "Honestly I admire how much of a pain in the ass Johnny Hill is."
Another added: "Halfback in a giraffe's body.."
This celebration
Keeping a hold
Hill will not be welcomed back to Australia anytime soon as his latest piece of s***housery helped England score a momentum turning try before the break in the third test.

- 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
