Romain Teulet (born February 5, 1978, in Bergerac, Dordogne) [1] is a French rugby union player, who played for Top 14 team Castres Olympique.

Nicknamed Robocop for his unusual preparation and high success rate for penalty kicks, [2] [3] and le petit lutin (the gnome) for his small size, [2] he left his hometown club US Bergerac where he had been playing since the age of 11 [2] for Castres Olympique in 2001. He quickly established himself as a top-class kicker, even scoring 35 placed kicks in a row during the 2004–05 season, [4] a record that stood until March 2009, when Brock James failed only on his 42nd attempt. [4] He also was the top point scorer in the 2009–10 Top 14 season with 263 points. [5] On August 28, 2010, he reached the 2000-point mark in the French championship in a game against Bayonne, scoring 20 points in the 25–16 win. [6]

On the 15 April 2014, Teulet announced that after 13 years with Castres, he would retire at the end of the 2013–14 Top 14 season. [7] On this announcement, the French national team's head coach Philippe Saint-André, announced that Romain Teulet will join the national team as a specialist kicking coach. [8]
