Thomas Jolmès

In the engine room of Section Paloise's back row, Thomas Jolmès is an industrious flanker built for the attritional demands of French rugby. Born on 8 October 1995, he plays a forward's forward game: relentless at the breakdown, strong in defence and committed to the physical grind that the Top 14 and European competition demand week after week. Jolmès chases his work across the field, contesting rucks, making his tackles and carrying into traffic to help Pau build momentum. His value lies in his consistency and his appetite for the unglamorous duties that hold a pack together, providing turnover threat and defensive stability in equal measure. In the unforgiving environment of the Top 14, where matches are often decided by the physical battle up front, a forward of his work ethic and reliability is an important component of a competitive pack. He brings experience and composure to the loose forwards, supporting ball-carriers, securing possession and shouldering the heavy defensive workload without fuss. A dependable presence in the back row, Jolmès remains a steady and committed contributor to the Pau forward effort.
