Franco Molina is powerful second rower who made his mark on the Argentina u20 side during the 2016 & 2017 U20 World Rugby Championship.
His performances with the side led to a call-up to the Argentina XV side that competed in the America's Rugby Championship between 2016 & 2018.
In August 2018 he was one of the few players not in the Jaguares squad that was named in the senior national side for the 2018 Rugby Championship, where he will look to make his test debut.
Molina headed into the 2018 Rugby Championship uncapped.
Originally added to his first Argentina roster in 2022 – after an Argentina U20s career – Molina made his international test debut earlier this year against France in Mendoza.
Since then, he has featured for the Pumas in the Rugby Championship, including in the historic victory over New Zealand in August.
Molina signed for the Exeter Chiefs for the 2024/25 season.
The 27-year-old Puma powerhouse arrives in Devon having never played club rugby outside of South America before.
He played in the Super Liga Americana de Rugby side, Dogos XV, who he has made 23 appearances for as captain of the side.
