James Rigg

Age: 31
Position: Wing
All-time Legend: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Max amount you can drink: Two litres of battery acid, then I get a touch of heart burn
All-time best rugby moment: In only my second game of rugby I handed off Karl Hayward with such ferocity, he is still unconscious… Let that be a warning to you all!




A wrestler originally, "Riggy" is new to the game, but is already developing the Jonah Lomu-esque approach to wingplay that will almost certainly result in some opposition 11 and 14's hoping they remembered to put some clean underwear in their kit bags. Strong as an ox and ridiculously quick for a man of his size, it can often take 3 or 4 men just to slow Riggy down, never mind complete the tackle. Expect to find him rampaging down a touchline near you this season, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake and making wingers wish they'd taken up badminton instead.
