Nemo Roelofse

Born on 6 June 1995, Nemo Roelofse is a back-row forward who lines up at flanker for US Arlequins Perpignanais (USAP) in France's Top 14. Now into his thirties, Roelofse brings the experience and physical edge that define effective loose-forward play, operating as a high-volume tackler and a willing presence at the breakdown. His game is built on work rate: he competes hard for turnover ball, supports his ball-carriers in the loose and contributes to the abrasive, forward-oriented approach long associated with the Perpignan club. As a member of the USAP pack he plays a part in the side's efforts to establish themselves in the demanding Top 14 environment, where forward dominance and defensive resilience are at a premium. Reliable in the tight exchanges and mobile enough to cover ground in defence, Roelofse offers his coaches a dependable option across the back row. His value lies in consistency and graft rather than flash, the unglamorous but essential work of slowing opposition ball, securing his own and setting a physical tone for those around him.
