Scott Fardy

What strikes me about Scott Fardy is the late-career reinvention. A 198cm Australian lock who only really broke through with the Brumbies in 2012, then closed things out at Leinster in the Pro14 and Champions Cup before retiring in 2021. I find the lock-to-blindside-flanker versatility telling: he was the kind of unglamorous engine-room forward that coaches quietly build packs around. Crossing hemispheres to finish in Ireland rather than fading at home reads, to me, like someone who wanted to keep being useful, not just collect caps. A grafter's career, and I respect that more than highlight reels.
