Here's a look at the seven most ridiculous purchases ever made by rugby stars down the years...
1. Jonah Lomu's wagon
Known for his extravagant collection of cars, but we're going with this one.
The custom wagon is fitted with state-of-the-art speakers which can reach 163 decibels, was used by Jonah in his world record attempt back in 2000 for the loudest car.
2. James Haskell's JCB
Although he just borrowed this, Haskell's love of JCB's are well known. Driving them to training regularly with England and Wasps, the former international flanker is hopeful he'll be able to buy his own one day.
3. Mike Tindall - Racehorse
Monbeg Dude was bought accidentally by Tindall when he bid £12,000 for him at Cheltenham in 2010 (thinking someone would out bid him). Tindall managed to convince fellow players at the time James Simpson-Daniel and Nicky Robinson to contribute.
The horse went onto win the Welsh Grand National, a grade 1 win at Cheltenham and came third in the Grand National in 2015. .
4. Callum Braley
Never one to follow trends, but instead start his own, Italy scrum-half Callum Braley has Pumba the Micro Pig. The two-year-old pet loves going for walks on his lead, chomping on banana chips and cuddles on the sofa.
5. Beauden Barrett's Auckland mansion
It includes stunning views to Rangitoto and over the harbour.

- 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
