little "Cali"
Marconnet appeared in the mainstream of French rugby November 14, 1998, during his first cap against the Pumas of Argentina. Before selecting this young Marconnet had gone through all the steps of detecting and youth teams (France School, France Junior).
Quickly pillar was compared to his elder Christian Califano for its keeping qualities melee and its ability to carry the ball. Quite naturally he was nicknamed the little "Cali."
An increase in the image of a club.
The increase
Marconnet is to be compared with that of the club where he has been evolving since the 1997-1998 season. Marconnet arrives at Stadium CASG French from Grenoble , the same year or Bernard Laporte reminds him his old cronies "Rapetous" the epic béglaise namely Serge Simon, Philippe Gimbert and truculent Gaillac Vincent Moscato .
The first Paris season of Marconnet is put under the sign of competition and learning. Indeed the young pillar then 21 years old must learn to earn his place alongside Rapetous but also the pillar of what exception Pieter De Villiers.
His first season in Paris is the rise of the club Max Guazzini, indeed the end of the 1998 season is the apotheosis Stadiste, Stade French CASG became Champion of France 1998 face the Catalan of the USAP.
Sylvain even participates in the event, replacing Philippe Gimbert. Marconnet thus takes its place in the stalls so as not to leave it, it will be all songs as the owner but also as a replacement in 2007. It's not going to say that the progression of one of the very best specialists in the French post pillar is strongly related to the Parisian club's revival.
2007 the year of the doubt ...
Marconnet enjoys the confidence of the leadership of XV of France, especially during this 2007 season, where the victim of a stupid accident skiing, Sylvain sees its participation the saga of the World Cup 2007 Rugby severely compromised.
It is with great pride of courage doubled the size of the event that Sylvia works for its top level for the World Cup. Today it is still a convalescent in the France.
the footsteps of Armand Vaquerin?
Like Christian Califano in his time, Sylvain is one of the successors of Armand Vaquerin in line with the pillars of emergency.
Early Marconnet and the route of the French stage its last 9 years, suggests that Marconnet is most worthy successor of the late Armand Vaquerin. Many similarities are noted in the careers of two men: debut at the age of twenty years, a club monopolizing the titles ...
Note that
Marconnet has already won five titles of Champion of France with the French CASG Stadium, Christian Califano has blocked the counter at 6, while Armand Vaquerin remains the record holder with 10 titles to his credit.
