Anthony Floch (born 12 February 1983 in Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme) is a French rugby union player, who normally plays at fullback. He currently plays for Montpellier in the Top 14.
Top 14
[edit]He made 24 appearances, scoring 49 points, in the 2006/07[citation needed] season as Clermont reached the Top 14 final and won the European Challenge Cup. He played in the final as Clermont won the Top 14 title in 2009–10, and scored a drop goal in the process.[1] In the 2011 Top 14 he scored, a 60-metre goal, with over 10 metres to spare. This was one of the biggest kicks seen. In 2013, Floch signed a deal to join French Top 14 side Montpellier.[2]
International career
[edit]He was called up to the French squad by Marc Lievremont for the 2008 Six Nations Championship, where he won his first cap off the bench against England in a defeat at the Stade de France. Floch started against Italy two weeks later and scored his first international try in the first half.[3] He held his place for the final game of the tournament against Wales in Cardiff where the hosts were victorious and secured their second Grand Slam in four seasons.
