Franco Molina hat-trick stuns Reds in Brisbane

It was intelligence and power from Franco Molina that shone bright in Super Rugby in Brisbane, Australia. Molina scored a hat-trick for the Western Force who were 42-19 winners and claimed a vital bonus point victory.

 

El Cordobés scored the opening two tries of the night for the Western Force. Both saw vision with him scoring from pick-and-go’s from close range. His third was strength and determination as he powered over with Wallabies captain, Harry Wilson, among those unable to stop him.

Molina also had an all-round good match. He was busy in the lineout and disruptive of the Reds’ ball. He made 46 meters with ball in hand and also had five beaten defenders as a ball-carrier.

Molina and fellow former Dogos player, Agustin Moyano were both involved in the match for the Western Force.
