Career

Gautherie subsequently played as winger for the PARC (Pays d'Aix RC Rugby Club).[1] He currently plays for LOU Rugby in Lyon.[2] He is one of the first French rugbymen to appear fully nude in the Dieux du Stade calendar, appearing in the 2004, 2005 and 2007 editions.[3] Along with Morgan Souply and Thomas Mège, he was chosen to promote the 2004 calendar in the media. Tall and broad shouldered; his robustly muscular and athletic physique with a natural smattering of body hair, garnered him a lot of fan attention. His chiseled good looks and his breezy approach towards displaying his well endowed full frontal nudity, have resulted in his being considered a sex symbol, as evidenced by a number of fan sites.[4] In January 2007, Gautherie played number 11 in France Amateur – a team chosen from the Federale Divisions which are "amateur" – and beat Spain 47–0 at Aire Sur L'Adour in France.[5]

He now plays for Aix-en-Provence again.
