Fabien Pelous: legendary captain, his epic journey in blue
This new section on World Cup news is an opportunity for Religion Rugby to briefly present the impact and role played by our various ambassadors within the French team. When wearing the blue jersey, the sacred tricolor jersey, every player knows that he is not its owner but only a temporary holder who is part of a history that goes beyond him. The French team belongs to no one, or on the contrary, it belongs to everyone; it is a story that is told, a story that is lived, and for some, it becomes an epic lived like a hero. Fabien Pelous was one of these heroes who had the honor and who knew how to honor the blue jersey in return 118 times. Today, Fabien Pelous is part of the collective memory of the French national team and the French people; he has left his mark on international rugby and has written some beautiful pages of our national novel. A Religion Rugby ambassador for almost 7 years, his generosity, loyalty, and sense of ethics have always guided his choices. I invite you to discover in a few lines the international epic of Fabien Pelous.

V. Fabien Pelous and Religion Rugby
The two creators of the brand are from Ariège, like Fabien. There is a certain solidarity in the world of rugby but also within the somewhat rugged departments with strong identities. It is undoubtedly this dual belonging to the world of rugby and the mountains that naturally brought Fabien closer to Religion Rugby. Today, Fabien has been trusting the brand for over 6 years. Religion Rugby, to thank him, has developed signature collections in his likeness. Thus, you can discover Fabien's next collection via the link below.
