Juan Figallo

What I admire about Juan Figallo is that he made it from inland Salta to rugby's top stages without ever playing a glamorous position. A tight-head prop is the unsung engine of the scrum, and being named the best in that role at the 2011 World Cup is a connoisseur's honor rather than a headline one. His journey from Montpellier in France's Top 14 to Saracens in England speaks to grit and adaptability. I have a soft spot for the men who do the dirty work in the trenches, and Figallo strikes me as exactly that kind of quietly indispensable professional worth respecting.
