JEROME THION

Born: 02.12.77
Height: 6ft 6in
Weight: 18st 2lb
Position: Lock
Club: Perpignan
Caps: 5
Points: 0

With his international career still in its early days, the World Cup will mark a steep learning curve for Thion.

The Perpignan man has come of age in recent months and is a powerful presence at mauls and in the scrum.

He has good handling ability when he can find space to break and makes the best use of his vast frame.
