My Take
Andrew Porter is the kind of athlete I instinctively root for. At 183 cm and anchoring the prop position for Ireland and Leinster, he does the unglamorous, bone-crunching work that lets flashier players shine. Props rarely grab headlines, yet the scrum lives or dies on them, so being trusted there speaks volumes. Selection for the British and Irish Lions tours in both 2021 and 2025 confirms he is among the very best in the world at it. I have a soft spot for craftsmen who win battles in the trenches rather than chase highlight reels, and he is exactly that.
