Alex Moon

Alex Moon is an experienced back-row forward plying his trade with Aviron Bayonnais in the French Top 14. Born on 6 September 1996, the flanker offers a blend of physical defense and breakdown nous to a Bayonne pack competing in one of the toughest domestic leagues in world rugby. Moon's game is defined by reliability in the collision areas: strong, committed tackling, persistence over the ball, and a useful presence in the lineout, where his height and timing add an extra option to the set piece. At 29 he is in the experienced phase of his career, the type of dependable forward who underpins a team's defensive structure and forward effort without seeking the limelight. His responsibilities revolve around the hard yards, making tackles, securing possession at the ruck, and contributing to the lineout, the staples of effective back-row play. Bayonne's brand of committed, forward-oriented rugby suits a player willing to do the graft, and Moon provides that combative edge along with the steadiness that comes from seasons of top-level experience. He remains a valuable and durable component of the Aviron Bayonnais forward unit as the club competes in the Top 14.
