“Source of controversy” – AI ranks the five most ‘disliked’ rugby players in the world

#1. Owen Farrell – England

The AI wrote: “Owen Farrell is an English rugby player who has been both admired and criticised for his passionate and aggressive style of play.

“However, his on-field demeanor has also been a source of controversy, with accusations of dangerous tackles, leading with the elbow, and unsportsmanlike behavior.

“Farrell’s intense competitiveness and occasional confrontational attitude have led to him being disliked by some opponents and fans alike.”
