Killian Tixeront

Tixeront interests me because of his position and his loyalty. A flanker or number 8 is the engine room of any rugby side, the player who does the unglamorous, bruising work that wins matches without ever topping a highlight reel. What I respect most is that he plays for Clermont, the club of the very region he was born in. In an era when young talent so often chases the biggest paycheck elsewhere, staying to fight for your hometown reads as a quiet kind of integrity. Born in 2002, he is still early in his arc, and I will be watching to see how far that grit carries him.
