The man himself

He’s the talk of the town in Australian Rugby, a shoo-in for the Wallabies no. 11 jersey. Nick Cummins, the Honey Badger has a following like none other, and a skill set to boot.

But Nick Cummins isn’t only popular because of his flamboyant try-scoring rampage, which puts him third equal with Jesse Mogg, behind Robbie Coleman and Israel Folau in Super Rugby, no he’s the whole package. Nick Cummins has a different set of skills that puts his try scoring to shame, he’s got chat.

Recently coming clean about the origin of his nickname and subsequently a following of supporters getting behind him, the Honey Badger seems a fitting animal to attribute to such a comical and cunning figure.
