My Take
Ellis Genge is the kind of rugby player I instinctively root for. A Bristol-born England prop who throws his whole 185cm frame into the dirty work up front, he's all grit and substance. Leading Leicester Tigers to the 2022 Premiership title as captain, after more than 100 appearances, proves he backs his words with results. Props rarely get the glory, but they're the spine of any pack. What I love is the working-class chip on his shoulder and unmistakable local pride. Players who win in the mud, not the highlight reel, are the real protagonists to me.
