depends what you call hard, i think currently its got to be s.tompkins the lad is 6 stone wet through and outgunned pyshically by everyone yet takes them all down and never seems to get hurt by tackles and teams aren't going easy on him.

I think past well kelvin skerrett was a nutter! so was cowie in his youth, i wouldn't want to pick a fight with twiggy or o'conner gregory beat up a dog in the park when it bit him a year or so back lol

Shaun Edwards - don't think any of the current bunch would carry on with a fractured cheekbone/eye socket.

Deano was also hard as nails.

Of the current bunch only Hock stands out.
