Benoît Baby

Benoît Baby (born 7 September, 1983 in Lavelanet, France) is a French rugby union footballer, currently playing for ASM Clermont Auvergne in the "élite" domestic championship, the Top 14. He usually plays at centre, and has represented France.

Baby made his "début" for the national team during the 2005 Six Nations, against Ireland in Dublin. France won the match 26 points to 19. Baby was cited for headbutting O'Driscoll in retaliation during the match. [http://2rugby.com/2005/03/15/benoit-baby-cited-for-headbutting-odriscoll/] The Irish match was Baby's only appearance at the 2005 Six Nations, though he was capped twice again for France that year, in the losses against South Africa in Durban and Australia at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. He was considered as very promising at his post until a series of relatively serious injuries stopped him in his progression.
