Tadhg Furlong

Furlong fascinates me because he plays the most thankless position in rugby, tighthead prop, and somehow turned it into a showcase of intelligence and skill. Starting every test across multiple British and Irish Lions tours is not luck; it is the mark of a player coaches simply cannot leave out. From Wexford to the cornerstone of Leinster and Ireland, he carries the scrum while still moving the ball like a back. At 183 cm he is not a giant, which tells me his dominance is technical and cerebral. I deeply admire athletes who make the unglamorous work look essential.
