Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless tackler, consistent carrying presence

Across seven international appearances, Moore's tackle output stands as his most defining trait — averaging over ten per match with a single-game peak of 24, pointing to a lock who is heavily relied upon at the defensive breakdown. His carrying game is steady rather than explosive, consistently contributing around five carries per outing, though his best match showed he can push well beyond that when required. The data paints a picture of a high-minutes, high-defensive-volume forward who provides reliable structure across both set-piece and open play.
