Stick to Rugby

The latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, features French rugby legend Serge Betsen, joining Scott Quinnell, Tom Shanklin, Katy Daley-McLean and Phil Vickery for a hard-hitting conversation.

Nicknamed “The Grim Reaper” for his brutal tackling and relentless defence, Serge looks back on his fierce rivalry with England, his personal battles with Jonny Wilkinson, and the World Cup heartbreaks that still haunt him.

He shares how rugby changed his life — from growing up in Cameroon, to finding purpose in Paris and Biarritz, and becoming one of France’s most feared flankers. Serge also discusses his dream move to Wasps, his take on France’s current World Cup hopes, and why he believes the team still isn’t ready to win it all.
