Part of the X-Men of All-Blacks, Carl Hayman became the 1000th player to don the All-Black jersey and is widely regarded as the best tighthead New Zealand has ever produced,
A brute of a species measuring way beyond the ideal size of the average prop, his scrummaging technique is well suited to his supreme combat skills.
Suprisingly agile and effective runner in the loose for his size, Hayman is an absolute mutant of a prop and well known in folklore to be able to handle a few shandies after the match too.
Even though he is capable to inflict injury, it is startling how the Newcastle Falcon stays injury free drawing similarities with the Wolverine's super-regenerative healing powers.
His sustained fitness levels have encouraged the Otago-born beast to hold his own in the international side to the tune of 48 caps.
His enhanced strength allows him to sense weaknesses in oppositions and recognise when to go in for the kill.
Once he has his sharp claws into someone, they very rarely ever survive such is his ferocious attitude to the game.
