Controversy follows Chris Ashton everywhere and most of it is self-inflicted. Here, playing for his club Saracens he attempts to put off the Harlequins kicker as he attempts a conversion by shouting 'Push it!'

Rugby prides itself on respect and courtesy to the opposition so this act was understandably frowned upon by some of the Harlequins team. It nearly caused a bit of an incident in the tunnel as both teams went off at half-time too.
You could argue that Ashton was asked to name his favourite song from Salt n Pepa, but we're pretty sure this was deliberate and vindictive. The Premiership semi-final was won by Saracens on a scoreline of 31-17, but not many neutrals will be cheering on Ashton and his team in the final.
