MARCELo BoSCH, as well as Manuel Carizza and Gonzalo Tiesi, had an outstanding performance during the Junior
World Cup in Mendoza in 2005. That gave him the possibility to be taken into account for the major teams and
continue his rugby career in France. This former Belgrano Athletic player can take the fly half or centre position.
The variety of options opened the doors of the Biarritz Olympique, team which enjoys his great feet skills and
excellent handling. Marcelo made his debut with the Pumas in 2007, when Italy was touring through Argentina.
Unfortunately, some injuries did not allow him to be taken into account by the national coaches, but then he was
fully recovered and played RWC 2011, in New Zealand, in which he was one of the key players. During 2012 he was
a starter in all the Rugby Championship games.
