Arriving from Newcastle a year and a half ago, English wing Ben Stevenson has established himself as a pillar for RC Vannes, missing not a single Top 14 match this season.
Ben Stevenson shows no signs of leaving the field. Arriving in Vannes from Newcastle a year and a half ago, the English wing has made himself indispensable to the Breton squad. Capable of playing both as a wing and centre, this 26-year-old player has missed no Top 14 matches since the start of the season, displaying remarkable consistency.
His selector doesn't complain. "If you stop working hard, you lose your bearings," a club insider confides. A formula that well summarizes the importance of this player in the Vannes setup. His constant presence on the pitch is no accident: Stevenson excels particularly in the aerial game, a rare quality that allows him to make the difference in every match.
On Sunday, November 8th, against Union Bordeaux Bègles in Nantes (kickoff at 3 p.m.), Stevenson is expected to logically be part of the action. His ability to dominate his direct opponents makes him a major asset for RCV, who are counting on him to maintain their rhythm in this first part of the season.
At 26, the former Newcastle player seems to have found his place in French rugby. His successful adaptation and consistency make him one of the most reliable players in the Vannes squad, a status he intends to maintain match after match.
