This name is far from unknown to rugby enthusiasts: 26 caps with the French national team. During his playing career, the hooker from Gard wore the colors of Section Paloise, Béziers, Sale (England), and most notably Toulon, with whom he won, among other titles, the European Cup twice (2013-2014).
After ending his playing career in 2015, he joined Pierre Mignoni’s coaching staff at Lyon, taking charge of the forwards at LOU. Sébastien then gained a senior role and became the scrum specialist for the French national team during Jacques Brunel’s tenure (2018-2019) before looking after the forwards of the France U20 team.
