Serge Betsen is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on March 25, 1974 in Kumba, Southwest Region, Cameroon. Serge Betsen Tchoua (born 25 March 1974) is an ex- French union rugby player who was a flanker at London Wasps and Biarritz at club level as well as for France internationally.

Despite this, he continues to be a formidable tackler: in the 2007 Six Nations Championship, which France won, he completed 56 tackles, 12 more than any other player in the tournament.

In 2005 he was cited following an incident during Biarritz’s Heineken Cup match against London Wasps in which Wasps centre Stuart Abbott suffered a broken leg; the complaint was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing found that “the trip, while intentional, was not premeditated” and had happened “in the heat of the moment”.

Named La Faucheuse (the Grim Reaper) Betsen’s most memorable moment was in his 2002 Six Nations Championship, in the game against England and England, where his constant marking of Jonny Wilkinson ultimately led to the replacement of the fly-half and set an opening for England to win win of 20-15. The coach of England, Clive Woodward, said of Betsen: “”He is the only player that I can say was the single-handed reason we lost a match.” France won the Grand Slam and Betsen was named the nation’s International Player of the Year. He was a pre-selected player in this year’s Rugby World Cup and scored France’s sole try in the semi-final defeat to England.
