Lionel Beauxis

Lionel Beauxis (French pronunciation: [ljɔnɛl boksis]), born on 14 October 1985 in Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées), is a former French rugby union player who primarily played as a fly-half.

Beauxis began his career at Section Paloise and went on to play for Stade Français, Stade Toulousain, Union Bordeaux Bègles, Lyon OU, Oyonnax Rugby, and AS Béziers.

In 2006, he won the 2006 Under 21 Rugby World Championship, and he was a member of the France national rugby union team from 2007 to 2012, making a notable return for the 2018 Six Nations Championship. Renowned for his long and precise kicking abilities, Beauxis has made a significant impact in the world of rugby.

Lionel Beauxis was born on 24 October 1985 in Tarbes, located in southwestern France. He grew up in Louey, a village nearby, where his father, Patrick, played rugby for Rugby Club Louey Marquisat. His aunt was the club president until 2020. Lionel started playing rugby at this club when he was five years old.

As a child, Lionel's father took him to watch Section Paloise’s European matches in Pau during the late 1990s. This inspired Lionel, and he became a fan of players David Aucagne and Philippe Bernat-Salles.

In 2001, Lionel joined Section Paloise's youth team, achieving his childhood dream. He played alongside future professionals like Fabien Cibray, Arnaud Epito, Grégory Puyo, and Sébastien Tillous-Borde. With the Béarn youth selection, he won the Roger Taddéï Cup, a major youth rugby tournament in France.

He was then selected for the French Under-18 national team. The half-back partnership he formed with Fabien Cibray was seen as particularly promising in French rugby.

Lionel Beauxis and Fabien Cibray were carefully nurtured by Section Paloise's management, who extended their contracts at Stade du Hameau. In 2003, Beauxis joined the professional squad alongside Jean-Baptiste Peyras, who was named as the IRB International U19 Player of the Year.
