Rugby was introduced to France in 1872 by the British, and on New Years Day 1906, the national side played its first test match – against New Zealand in Paris.
The team's home matches are mostly played at the Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. They traditionally play in blue shirts emblazoned with the national emblem of a golden rooster on a red shield, with white shorts and red socks thus they are commonly referred to as Les Tricolores or Les Bleus. The France national rugby union team represents France in men's international rugby union and it is administered by the French Rugby Federation.

In January 2017, he signed a short-term deal for English side, Leicester Tigers as an injury cover for Matt Toomua and Manu Tuilagi who were sidelined for the rest of the season. In May 2013 he was an unused replacement as Toulon won the 2013 Heineken Cup Final by 16–15 against Clermont Auvergne.
