Matis Perchaud (born 17 September 2002) is a French rugby union player, who plays for Aviron Bayonnais.[1]
Biograph
Matis Perchaud grew up in Mouguerre, where he first played rugby, before joining the Aviron Bayonnais in 2017.[2][3][4]
He made his debut with the first team during the 2020–21 season, playing his first games in Top 14 and even starting as a loosehead prop for a league game against Brive in February 2021.[2] Soon after he signed a professional contract, tying him to the club until 2024.[3]
He really became a regular starter in Pro D2 with Bayonne the following season, as they won direct promotion back to the Top 14.[5] In 2022, he was also a standout player with France under-20s as they finished second in the Six Nations, only narrowly losing against the Irish grand slam winners.[6][7]
Following this breakout season, he was first called to the France senior team in June 2022 for the summer tour of Japan.[6][7][8][9]
