Etienne Falgoux

Etienne Falgoux is a French prop who has spent his senior career with ASM Clermont Auvergne, working his way through the club's pathway system before establishing himself in the senior forward rotation. Born on 19 January 1993, he has become one of the more reliable front-row figures in the Clermont setup. Falgoux's strength lies in set-piece work. He is a solid, technically sound scrummager who prioritises the unseen work in tight, holds his body position under pressure and offers consistency across the full duration of a match. In open play he contributes willingly at the breakdown and takes his carries when asked. His long association with Clermont has allowed him to mature alongside successive generations of the club's pack, and he has become a trusted squad member who can be called upon to start or close matches depending on rotation. His durability across the demanding Top 14 season is a notable part of his value. Falgoux is a quiet, team-first forward whose professionalism sets a standard in training. He continues to represent the deeper traditions of the Clermont front row, contributing to a pack that remains one of the most physical in French rugby.
