Juan Martín Scelzo

Juan Martin Scelzo, born on 12 February 2002, is an Argentine hooker who has earned a professional contract with Stade Francais Paris in the Top 14. Following in the footsteps of his father, a former Pumas international prop, he has carved out his own path as a young front-row forward developing his game in one of the most demanding leagues in world rugby. Scelzo's game centres on the core hooker fundamentals of accurate lineout throwing and scrum stability, allied to a willingness to work hard at the breakdown and in defensive collisions. The challenge of competing in French club rugby has accelerated his physical development and exposed him to elite-level standards from an early age. Still in the early stages of his senior career, he forms part of Argentina's broader pipeline of front-row talent. As he continues to mature in the Stade Francais environment, Scelzo represents an intriguing prospect with the bloodline, technical foundations and competitive setting required to push for higher honours.
