Biography

Tadhg Furlong is widely regarded as the best tighthead prop in world rugby. His scrummaging power is matched by exceptional ball-handling skills rarely seen in a front-rower. Furlong's ability to carry effectively in open play and his work rate around the park have redefined what is expected of a tighthead prop at the highest level.
