Alexis Palisson (born 9 September 1987) is a French rugby union footballer. He plays as a fullback and wing. He is 1.76 metres (5 ft 9 in) tall and weighs 83 kilograms (183 lb).

Career[edit]

He currently[when?] plays for Colomiers in the French Pro D2. He made his international debut for France on 28 June 2008 against the Wallabies. He also represented France in an U19 competition in Dubai.

He played as France reached the 2011 Rugby World Cup finalinNew Zealand. In May 2013 he started as Toulon beat Clermont Auvergne 16–15 in the 2013 Heineken Cup final.[1]

Controversy[edit]

In July 2011, Palisson featured shirtless in LGBTQ+ magazine Têtu wearing a fake moko and holding a taiaha. This caused controversy in New Zealand, with some Māori people saying that Palisson was being disrespectful to their culture and that permission should have been sought from a particular iwi as the moko usually represents iwi affiliation. Palisson was eventually forced to apologise for any offence caused and stressed that he respects tattoo traditions.[2][3]
