Brusque is a player who is currently at the top of his game.

Having made his debut way back in 1997, he emerged from the wilderness in 2002 to play in France's last four Six Nations games and has been a fixture in the squad ever since.

A destructive runner and safe in defence, he is one of the in-form European players heading into the World Cup having shown up well in the autumn internationals.

A powerful player with an eye for the try-line, expect to see plenty more from Brusque Down Under.
