Does Rugby have a Superstar?
-
@Duluth I suspect Adesanya has everyone in NZ covered - not just sportsmen.
I've tried a few of the most famous NZers I can think of - and he's well ahead.
He gets beaten by someone like Taylor Swift, but he's competitive - or at least, not completely dwarfed!

@mariner4life Carribbean queen is top notch.

I've given this some thought and I can't think of a player who stands out sufficiently from his peers to be a recognised superstar of the game.

Agree with MR, Tupou is a classic case. A prop with ball skills and running ability. All the tools to be must-watch
Gives up penalties and isn't fit enough so rugby people have written him off as a bit-part player
Perhaps the rules are to blame.
His inaccuracy and laziness aren't the fault of the rules. The only place he's currently a superstar is the buffet.

And yet I had to Google him 😳
That might say more about me than him though.

@Catogrande He wouldn't have been my first guess. According to google trends, he's bigger than Tyson Fury!
