#1. Joe Launchbury (Slosh, Sloshbucket, or Biscuit)
"He has the biggest arse in world rugby - and was forever knocking things over."
#2. James Haskell (The Unflushable Turd, Rig City)
"Despite being embroiled in a number of off-the-pitch controversies over the years and falling foul of various regimes, the unflushable turd has repeatedly bounced back."
#3. George Kruis (Shnooze or Shnoz)
"Because his chat is so boring it will make you fall asleep"
#4. Mark Lambert (Smug Pig)
"Not only did he act like he was all superior, he had a reputation for really, really enjoying his food."
#5. Matt Cairns (The Bollock)
"Another simple one. He has a shiny bald head that look like a shiny, bald, bollock."

- 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
