The undoubted kings of this are the Welsh via Gwlad.

For example; Stephen Jones is known as Wellies (because he runs like he's wearing them [gumboots to you heathens]).

Shane Williams = Ikkul. Because he's only Ikkul.

Jamie Roberts = Enormojaw, or just Jaw. Take a look at him.

Matthew Rees = GSE, standing for Giant Spastic Egg. Because that's what he used look like when throwing in.

Martyn Williams = Nugget. Because he's ginger.

Matthew J Watkins of the Dragons = MJWtf.

Andy Powell = Mongo. Because him Mongo. Mongo like drive down M4 in golf-cart. Gatland no like Mongo drive. Mongo sad...

Gavin Henson = The Hensonwitch or just The Witch. Because half the time, they're ready to burn him.

There are a few players going around with just massive jawlines; in my house most of them get the same nickname: "The Crimson Chin", named after a superhero off a show we used to watch as kids. His only power was having a massive chin that he used to bash villains with.
