Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley

Welcome back to our mid week feature where I Photoshop an oversized picture of Ellery Hanley's face onto some unsuspecting rugby player and ask you who it is. Post your answers / wild guesses in the comments!

For those who didn't get last weeks it was of course Aussie legend Darren Lockyer.
