F*ck playing them rugby XV

No either Gerard Cholley or Robert Paparemborde would be sitters for that if looking of a French captain.
Gerard Cholley
(31 caps, 1975-79)
Even the august History of Scottish Rugby described the punch with which Cholley felled Don MacDonald in the 1977 France v Scotland Five Nations match as 'magnificent'. Later in the same match, the 6ft 4in Castres prop scrambled the senses of three other Scots . His Test career was brief, mercifully for his opponents: he only began playing in his mid-twenties while serving as a paratrooper. An army boxing champion, Cholley wasn't a great technician but, boy, could he punch.

There's no way Finlay Calder and John Jeffrey woulda stood for that kind of shit.

Having seen the video I can say that no-one stood much at all after Cholley was through with them. It was brutal.

You could probably make a whole XV from French players from the 70s and 80s
Yep. Jean Condom, apart from having an unfortunate name was a bit filthy IIRC.

Edit: Oops, not Naka Drotske. Meant Henry Tromp!!
My anger with Drotske is seeing him in the TAB listed with more than decent odds for first try scorer, scoffing, thinking I've never heard of him so not betting on him ... who scores first try?

@Nevorian Billy played for Belfast. Mainly a team from the freezing works, but they weren't as bad as those yellow and blue bastards!
Lincoln are ok aren't they?
I got Billys autograph when I was a kid, top bloke. He alledgedly punched a Ref in South Africa though after the Ref tapped him on the shoulder

surprised at the lack of "love" for Jamie Joseph who was filthy as fuck.
Rugby is so sanitised now.

No way, Kano was my grandmas favourite AB if I remember rightly. I don’t recall him being dirty.

I remember him taking out a players poll in the nineties as being the dirtiest player in test rugby .
