Did you know? Beauxis' boot has long since been noted. As well as kicking France U21 to a World Championship in 2006, Beauxis was not far off rescuing Pau from relegation single-handedly in 2004/5, scoring over half the team's points at the tender age of just 19. Then Stade Français came and rescued Beauxis.
