Bio
Born in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yannick Nyanga is a flanker who has explosive pace from the scrum-base and provides good support to backs in later phases of play. Nyanga was at his first club AS Beziers when he was selected for the first time to represent France when he played against the USA in France's 2004 tour of North America. He has since gone on to earn 19 caps, and has played in several Six Nations championships. Nyanga left Beziers following their relegation at the end of the 2004-05 season to join Stade Toulousain where he is still currently playing.
