 Career 
A left-footed centre, he has also successfully adapted to the role of right-back throughout his career, notably under the guidance of French coach Bernard Laporte, who deployed him in that position during the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Originally from Givors (Rhône-Alpes), Marconnet gained his first professional rugby experience in nearby Grenoble, where he made his league debut in 1994 at the age of 18. After just three seasons, he moved to Stade Français.Rugby : portrait de Sylvain Marconnet

In 2010, he left the capital club to join Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque. He made his international debut in 1998 against Argentina in the season-ending international match. He competed in the 1999 Five Nations Tournament and then in all Six Nations tournaments from 2001 to 2007, winning four titles, including two Grand Slam tournaments (2002 and 2004).L'INCROYABLE FIN DE CARRIÈRE DE SYLVAIN MARCONNET
