OLIVIER BROUZET

Born: 22.11.72
Height: 6ft 7in
Weight: 18st 5lb
Position: Lock
Club: Montferrand
Caps: 67
Points: 10

Brouzet is a giant figure in the French set-up who - along with David Auradou - forms the focal point of their line-out play.

He was prone to flashes of temper early in his career, but Bernard Laporte, who takes a dim view of any ill-discipline, has largely ironed them out.

Brouzet spent two seasons with Northampton - leaving last summer - after joining them from Begles-Bordeaux but now plays his trade with Montferrand.

Approaching the latter stages of his career now, but still a powerful, bullocking runner and strong defender.
