Médard in the TOP 5 of the best scorers in the history of the TOP 14
Zapping World Fifteen Rugby: Top 15 highest paid players
A year after Yoann Huget, it is another historic Stade Toulousain who is retiring with the three-quarters Rouge et Noir. Maxime Médard retired at the age of 35 and therefore ends his career after 18 years in the first team. It is one of the most extensive records in French rugby with five Boucliers de Brennus won and three European Cups. Just that.
On a personal level, the international rear will also leave a strong imprint. He scored 91 tries in the TOP 14 and thus ranks fourth among the best try scorers in the championship since the transition to the professional era. Aurélien Rougerie is ahead of him with 96 tries on the last step of the podium.
This ranking is still dominated by Vincent Clerc with 101 achievements. Now, the top active scorer in the championship is none other than Juan Imhoff, a Racing 92 winger who is in eighth place with 71 tries. Waisea Nayacalevu (RC Toulon) is hot on his heels with 67 tries.
