Noa Zinzen

Noa Zinzen is a flanker who has come through the Racing 92 academy to push for involvement in the senior squad. Born on 24 February 2004, the Frenchman is known for his high work rate at the breakdown and a relentless defensive presence in the loose forwards. Zinzen's progression to the Racing 92 senior set-up stands as an early career highlight, giving him exposure to the demands of the Top 14 and European competition. He operates as a disruptive force at the ruck, looking to win turnover ball and supply the defensive grit that underpins a forward pack. Quick to the breakdown and willing in contact, he offers the abrasive qualities expected of a modern openside or blindside flanker. As a younger member of a deep and competitive Racing back row, Zinzen continues to develop, aiming to convert his promise into more regular game time. His work ethic and tenacity make him a useful option as the club manages its forward resources across a long season, and he will be looking to seize his opportunities when they arrive.
