The SA pair Botha and Matfield, the ABs Brad Thorns and France’s Chabal.

Answer by chiefs fan
Have to say Bakkies Botha was the first to come to mind. Also chabal definately has a presence on the pitch.

Answer by Let’s go Murphys
The referees

Answer by Joe B
Chabal sticks out. Botha is a mean SOB too. Jerry Collins is a force as well for the All Blacks…. would not want to get hit by any of these monsters. Oh, and Paul O’Connell for Ireland is a certified maniac.

Answer by MODADC
First to come to my mind instantly when I read your question:

Sébastien Chabal (FRA)
Jerry Collins (NZ)

Answer by Harro
Jonah Lomu of the mighty New Zealand All Blacks. He’s 6’5, 250 pounds and can run the 100 meter dash in 10.8 seconds. Combine that with his amazing ball skills and his mind-boggling ability to break tackles and you have the world’s greatest rugby player – hands down. the meanest would have to be Lawrence Dallaglio.
