My Take
Moțoc fascinates me for his split identity: born in Saumur, France, yet playing internationally for Romania, anchoring the second row for Biarritz in Pro D2. Lock is the unglamorous engine room of rugby, the position that powers the scrum and soars in the lineout, and a team falls apart without one. What draws me to him is that he shoulders a complicated national story while still putting his body on the line week after week. Born in 1996, he strikes me as the selfless type who does the dirty work so others shine. I have a deep soft spot for that kind of forward grit.
