Jefferson Poirot

Jefferson Poirot is a French loosehead prop born on 1 November 1992, and one of the most respected front-row forwards in the Top 14. A long-serving leader at Union Bordeaux Begles, he has been a cornerstone of the club's pack and a regular international for France, earning more than 30 caps. Poirot was part of the France squad that won the 2018 Six Nations campaign and has been valued at international level for his scrummaging strength and calm leadership. His game is anchored by powerful set-piece work, but he also contributes through tireless tackling, accurate clearouts and reliable carrying in tight channels. At Bordeaux, Poirot has captained and shaped a generation of front-row colleagues, blending his physical presence with the tactical know-how that comes from a long career at the top of French rugby. His combination of experience, leadership and set-piece authority makes him a trusted figure for both club and country.
