LIST | The 5 types of rugby players we've all hated playing with

Staggering into the changing room with a litre bottle of Lucozade and bloodshot eyes, Darren is the person you avoid at all costs. He’s a loose cannon, he’s just been on the razz, and he only turned up because ‘it keeps the fitness levels up’. He was probably a fairly good player before the booze took over, but the lure of Oceana nightclubs and cheap pints of Strongbow was all too tempting.

What he lacks on the football pitch he makes up in effort. Always the guy to have a small motivational word at half-time, without realising he’s usually at fault for the things he’s said ‘we must improve on’.

Stays in the team because of the satisfying sound the ball makes on his folically-challenged head when he goes up for a header.

This guy not only terrifies the opposition, but his own team too - and his head coach.

He's picked up more cards in his time than Dylan Hartley and Owen Farrell combined and the coachisn't sure whether the club has enough money to pay the fines he racks up.

You can bet on this man donning a flashy pair of boots, ankle tape and underarmour - as well as highlights in his hair.

This guy's all about style and skill, tallying up the amount of offloads he can do in a match rather than helping his team to victory. Will never put in a tackle.

Often has absolutely no knowledge of the game, but like a 4-year-old child has been around the game long enough to repeat ‘useful’ phrases.
