France — Mohamed Haouas
Mohamed Haouas is one of the most controversial French players in 2025. A powerful prop, he has been involved in multiple off-field incidents, including legal troubles that have kept him in the headlines. Rival fans see him as unpredictable and unprofessional, making him one of the most disliked opponents whenever France take the field.
New Zealand — Sevu Reece
Sevu Reece is the All Blacks’ wing everyone loves to fear. Blistering pace, evasive running, and an eye for the try line make him a nightmare for rival defenses. Off-field controversies add to his reputation, giving opposing fans even more reasons to groan whenever he appears.
South Africa — Eben Etzebeth
Eben Etzebeth is a colossus of the Springbok pack. His size, strength, and aggression make him almost impossible to handle in the lineout or loose play. Fans from other nations respect him but also love to complain every time he’s in their 22.
Australia — Tate McDermott
With Nic White retired, Tate McDermott has become a thorn in the side of opposing teams. Quick, confident, and always present at the breakdown, he frustrates defenses and forces errors, earning the ire of rival supporters.
