Alun Wyn Jones: Check him out of the A40 to Tenby...

Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones is a hard-tackling bad-ass who burns up the yards on the pitch as well as on the open road to Tenby on his irregular days off fighting the law and rugby crime.

Although his stunts are usually confined to changing room pranks, AWJ is not shy of showing his emotions, going red with rage when belting out the national anthem or making a huge hit, instead of a blue flame.

As well as possessing superhuman strength, his durable hardcore outer shell keeps him free from injury and astonishingly in the starting line-up, be it for the Ospreys or Wales, every week.

Gavin Henson: Wears the costume well...

A shy and reclusive child, Henson threw all of his efforts into becoming a brilliant rugby player and a superb strategist and charismatic back-line leader.

Physically a match for any of his peers, Henson is not unknown to pick up his opponents using his strong arms.

He possesses one of the best pairs of hands in world rugby and the ability to slice the ball through the eye of a needle.

As well as being deceptively quick, the Welsh centre has developed his concentration and control to combat his toughest foes.

Martin Castrogiovanni: 'Because you're worth it!'

As soon as Martin Castrogiovanni was born in Parana, Argentina, his parents knew he would be different. We're not saying he popped out covered in overgrown facial hair, although Castro's animalistic physical characteristics certainly separate him from the crowd, given the Italian prop's beastly demeanor.

The Leicester Tigers star possesses ape like superhuman physical strength and remarkable agility for his size. Packing unusual heat for a front-rower despite his frame, Castrogiovanni's extremely powerful legs allows him to run through tackles instead of 25-foot jumps over buildings

His witty sense of humour is well known in the Tigers dressing room while his large hands and his razor like paws have enabled him to score a hat-trick against Japan, becoming only the third prop to do so in the history of the game. They also come in handy in the line of combat, another of his endless list of strengths.

Richie McCaw: No need for weapons...

Richie McCaw is a rugby's foremost vigilante - killing the ball, kidnapping it, be it through extortion, coercion, or torture - using acceptable forms of breakdown battling, 'tackles' McCaw will do anything - put his body on the line and go the extra mile - for the All-Black jersey.

Driven by the death of New Zealand rugby, McCaw often wages a one-man war on the opposition, leading by example and is a master of stealth tactics at the breakdown.

Used conventional weapons but motivated by fanatical hatred for criminals and those Australian criminals, he is as close to human physical perfection as it comes without no superhuman abilities.
