More than a series of books about rugby, Gueules du Rugby is a poetic tribute of a kind rarely seen to the beauty and the depth of a sport and of the men who built its legend. Its portraits of players, who have travelled through the ages with that oddly bouncing oval ball as their common thread, say a great deal about an equally singular game, carried by a set of values that set it apart.

A path to walk without limits alongside the man who in 2025 made an unexpected return to the national side and who is preparing to take on the All Blacks in New Zealand this July.
