Bastien Chinarro

Bastien Chinarro, born 23 January 2004, is a young French forward associated with US Arlequins Perpignanais, one of the traditional strongholds of rugby in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. A back-rower developed through USAP's academy structures, he is part of the new wave of players the club is looking to integrate into its senior squad. Chinarro's development has been built on the physical and uncompromising style of forward play associated with Perpignan, where a strong defensive work ethic and competitive edge at the breakdown are non-negotiable. As he progresses, he will be aiming to convert academy promise into regular first-team opportunities in the Top 14 and European competition.
