Louis Picamoles is an exciting and versatile backrow forward, most at home in the number eight position. Picamoles emerged through the same Montpellier side as Fulgence Ouedraogo and Francois Trinh-Duc, although Picamoles has since joined Toulouse with whom he won the Heineken Cup in 2010 and the Top 14 in 2011. He made his France debut in the 2008 Six Nations against Ireland.
