When and how did you discover/start Rugby?
I discovered Rugby in Toulon, at the primary school in fifth grade, with my teacher Mr Berny, who loved that sport.
What makes Rugby so special for you?
Rugby is the sport where the team means more than individuals. I share the values of this sport, particularly the ones of respect, passion and commitment. On top of that, I love the fact that wherever I travelled to, the Rugby community has always proved to be a great way to meet new people and have a lot of fun.
What do you like at the Düsseldorf Dragons?
The Düsseldorf Dragons is a great club thanks to the many nationalities we have among our players. It is where I met most of the friends I have in Düsseldorf. It is very inclusive club and gives every player who wants to join a chance to find something to do: playing, training, supporting, etc. On top of that, our club house is the best place to party ;-).
What song do you listen to before a game?
