Marcos Gallorini

One of the younger talents to emerge from Italy's development system, Marcos Gallorini is a flanker built on industry and physical presence. Born on 11 October 2004, he progressed through the Italian youth ranks before earning his place with Zebre Parma in the United Rugby Championship. His game is defined by a relentless work rate at the breakdown and a strong defensive presence, making him a natural disruptor in the loose. Gallorini represented the Italian Under-20s before making his professional bow for Zebre, a step that marked him out as a forward with a future in the Italian game. For his club he offers the kind of tireless graft that loose forwards are prized for - competing over the ball, filling in across the defensive line and carrying into contact. Still early in his career, he combines youthful energy with a maturity in his core duties, and his trajectory suggests a player intent on becoming a fixture in the Zebre back row and a continued contributor to Italy's age-grade and professional pathways.
