Gaël Fickou (born 26 March 1994) is a French rugby union player who plays for French club Toulouse. His usual position is in the Centre. Fickou made his Heineken Cup debut on 14 October 2012, scoring the only try of the game in a win against Leicester Tigers. His lithe movement, balance and pace for his size has seen him compared to English rugby legend Jeremy Guscott.[citation needed] He made his French international debut at the age of 18 against Scotland on 16 March 2013 in the RBS 6 Nations.[1]
Gaël Fickou scored his first try for the France against the Auckland Blues on the summer 2013 tour to New Zealand
According to Toulouse and France teammate, Maxime Médard, Fickou "is one of the 10 best centres in the world and soon he will be number one. He reminds me of Sonny Bill Williams: tall, athletic, technical, with a good hand-off and a feel for the game. He has everything."[2]
