Enzo Reybier (born 4 April 2002) is a French professional rugby union player who plays as a wing for Top 14 club Bordeaux Bègles.[1]
Born in Saint-Lupicin, Enzo Reybier first played judo, before switching to rugby union. He started his rugby career in the club of Saint-Claude, the town in Jura where he grew up, before joining the US Oyonnax in 2015.[2][3][4][5][6]
Having first studied in Villefranche-sur-Saône as a teenager, the Jurassian later joined the Lycée Arbez-Carme and the pôle espoirs of Oyonnax. He made his debut with the club from the Ain department on 18 September 2020 replacing Adrian Sanday during a Pro D2 away win against Soyaux-Angoulême, becoming the first 2002-born man to play in the French second tier, and the youngest player to ever play with the USO.[4][7][8][9]
Starting several games in the early following season, he signed an espoirs contract with the club in September 2021, until 2023.[3] But Reybier had to wait until early spring to really become a key member of his team, scoring a brace of tries during the derby against Bourg-en-Bresse in April 2022, following an outstanding Six Nations Under 20s.[10] He was a starter during the unsuccessful Top 14 play-offs at the end of the season.[11][12]
International career
Having soon been included in France youth selections, Enzo Reybier was part of the Pôle France in 2020,[9] before being selected with the under-20 for the delayed Six Nations in June 2021.[2] During the tournament, he scored tries against Wales and Scotland.[13] He really stood out during the following tournament in 2022, scoring 3 tries as France finished second in the Six Nations, only narrowly losing against the Irish grand slam winners.[6][7]
Reybier was first called by Fabien Galthié to the French senior team for the first time in June 2022, for the summer tour of Japan.[14][15][16]
