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 contrat, 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 in 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]
