Benjamin Niquet, 27, is the chef of the French rugby club Racing 92. He arrived in 2021 and supplies the games for a year.

He works at 6 a.m. every day in the Hauts-de-Seine area of Paris. The Ciel et Blanc restaurant is located right next to the field where Gaël Fickou, Siya Kolisi and their partners work on a daily basis. The Pacific players love his fish, he says, adding: “We have to start the day quickly”
