Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless defensive anchor at lock

Across 59 matches, Moerat's tackle numbers define his value — averaging 7.5 per game with a single-match peak of 23, he is a consistent, high-volume defender at the heart of the pack. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, averaging under four carries per game, which reflects the disciplined, forward-platform role a lock is asked to play at this level. The combination of nearly 3,100 minutes and three tries adds the picture of a durable, industrious forward who contributes steadily across competitions.
