Both saw vision with him scoring from pick-and-go\u2019s from close range. His third was strength and determination as he powered over with Wallabies captain, Harry Wilson, among those unable to stop him.<\/p>\n<p>Molina also had an all-round good match. He was busy in the lineout and disruptive of the Reds\u2019 ball. He made 46 meters with ball in hand and also had five beaten defenders as a ball-carrier.<\/p>\n<p>Molina and fellow former Dogos player, Agustin Moyano were both involved in the match for the Western Force.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119172 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/661015859_1395424025945218_6441425931420527928_n-528x660.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"660\"  \/>Photo: Super Rugby Pacific<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was intelligence and power from Franco Molina that shone bright in Super Rugby in Brisbane, Australia.
