“Show pony” – Fans Have Ranked The Top 5 Most Overrated Rugby Players

#1. Finn Russell (Scotland)

Russell is a polarizing figure in rugby. While some admire his flair, critics argue that his decision-making often lets him down. He’s frequently labeled as overrated, with some even describing him as “mercurial” in a way that implies he’s primarily overrated by himself.

One fan wrote: “He must be the most overrated rugby player you will ever see.”

A second said: “Russell is the most overrated player in world rugby. Always nice to see some flare but his decision making 80% of the time is awful.”

Another commented: “Russell is “mercurial”, which is the French for “overrated, primarily by the player himself”
