Bob Skinstad just bought a Rugby Club!

Ex-Springbok Bobby Skinstad has bought the French team AS Béziers Hérault. Skinstad shared the following on his Linkedin:

“After more than a few years of chasing projects together and seeing everything available, we have acquired AS Béziers Hérault – (PROD2 France and 11-time French Champion)!

The passion for sustainable, community-led and serving rugby in the South of France is extraordinary, and quite possibly, the most competitive in the world.

Big thanks to my partners in crime, Andrew Mehrtens, John Howard, Dan Mckeown, EJ (Jordan Associates) in Strangford Rugby, and a few more amazing people on the cap table, watching and supporting from afar. It was their shared passion and vision to reawaken this “sleeping giant” of French rugby and bring a fresh era to the club.


I look forward to showing people the amazing town of Béziers and the Hérault region, famous for its wine, food, rugby, 300 plus days of sun per year and hugely passionate fans.

Together, with the support of fans and community members, we’re dedicated to making AS Béziers Hérault a benchmark in rugby, where tradition and ambition unite to achieve lasting success

This club has the potential to be a superpower in France again, and I look forward to being part of this journey!”
