#3. Andy Hazell – 7%
Gloucester stalwart Hazell had the unenviable task of filling the retired Neil Back’s shoes.
We can assume that Andy Robinson’s thought process was, “He’s small, he’s aggressive, he’s just like Neil Back”, but unfortunately it didn’t really work out like that.
Making his international appearances exclusively through 2004-05, Hazell became regarded as a bit of a penalty machine during his time in and England shirt.
#2. Lesley Vainikolo – 19%
The Volcano’ stormed onto the scene for Gloucester, doing something ridiculous like scoring five tries on his debut against Leeds, before qualifying for England on residency grounds. International honours followed, with Vainikolo making his England debut against Wales in 2008. However, he failed to bring his try-scoring form to the international scene and was quickly dropped from Martin Johnston’s squad after winning five caps.
