Clément Vergé

Clément Vergé is a French flanker who emerged from the Stade Toulousain academy, one of the most productive talent pathways in European rugby. Born on 13 September 2001, the back-row forward plays with an energetic, mobile style characterised by strong defensive work at the breakdown and effectiveness in the wide channels. As a flanker, his value lies in the contest for possession and the link work between forwards and backs — competing over the ball, supporting carries, and contributing to the relentless physicality Toulouse demand at the ruck. Part of the squad's back-row depth, Vergé offers the club a versatile option capable of covering the loose-forward roles and adding tempo to the contact area. His game reflects the Toulouse philosophy: quick ball, aggressive contest, and forwards comfortable operating in space as well as in the tight. As he continues to establish himself, Vergé brings athleticism and a high work rate to a fiercely competitive forward unit, embodying the disruptive, ball-hungry approach that defines back-row play at the Stade. He remains a developing forward whose breakdown craft and mobility make him a useful contributor to one of the game's leading clubs.
