My Take

I am drawn to Imanol Harinordoquy because he carried Basque pride into everything he did. A towering number 8 at 192 cm, born in Bayonne, he gave Stade Toulousain, Biarritz, and France a player who never flinched from contact. There is something stirring about a man from the fiercely distinct Basque country representing the national side on the world stage. He played with a physical honesty that defined the back row of his era, and he stayed connected to the game after retiring through ventures bearing his own name. Grit and grace at once, he embodied the soul of rugby for me, and I hold him in real esteem.

Overview

Imanol Harinordoquy (born 20 February 1980) is a French former rugby union player. He typically played as a number 8 for Stade Toulousain at club level in the Top 14 and for France internationally. Before signing with Biarritz ahead of the 2004–05 season, he played club rugby at Pau.
