Clement Bitz

A French back-row forward born on 29 December 1994, Clement Bitz plays his club rugby for US Montauban in France's Pro D2 competition. Bitz operates in a second-tier French division renowned as one of European rugby's most physically attritional competitions, with a long domestic calendar shaped by set-piece battles and close-quarter forward exchanges. His position at openside flanker centres on the core breakdown, tackling and carrying responsibilities that define the role at senior level, where tackle volume and contact-area work determine a forward's matchday value. Now in his thirties, Bitz represents the kind of experienced, durable operator that Pro D2 sides rely on through the demands of back-to-back fixtures in a division where promotion and relegation margins are thin. Based at the Stade Sapiac in south-west France, Montauban has historically been a club built on forward identity, and Bitz continues to feature as a familiar presence in a pack rotation where week-in, week-out physical commitment is the currency of selection.
