Born in Paris, Flament grew up in Belgium where he discovered his sport, before practicing it in England and then in Argentina. Back across the Channel, the solid “Frenchy” (2.03 m, 110 kg) really exploded a year ago with the Coventry Wasps, who went to find him nearby, at Loughborough University.
Left France at three
This fall, Flament will return to France, a country he left at the age of three. By then, he will have to finish the Championship, whose 2019-2020 season, on hiatus because of the Covid-19, resumed this weekend.
🐝 Wasps can today confirm that @Thibaud_Flament will be leaving the Club at the end of the current season.
👏 Thank you for your contribution to Wasps Rugby. We wish you all the best for your future career #OnceAWasp https://t.co/xPmL28E5zD
The Wasps, fourth, won Sunday at Northampton (21-34), without Flament. Head coach of the “Wasps”, Lee Blackett said he was “disappointed” to see his player leave, while wishing him “the best for the rest of his career”.
