Chris Hilsenbeck : de la Nationale 2 à la Major League Rugby

Chris Hilsenbeck

De Saint-Jean-de-Luz à Chicago, il y a un pas de géant que vient de faire Chris Hilsenbeck. Les Chicago Hounds ont annoncé la signature du demi d’ouverture vétéran pour la saison de Major League Rugby qui vient de débuter.

Né en Californie mais international allemand (21 sélections), Hilsenbeck (33 ans) part s’installer à Chicago après avoir passé moins d’une saison en France. Arrivé à à Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Nationale 2) en provenance de Biarritz, il n’a pas pu refuser la proposition des Américains, sachant que le coach n’est autre que l’ancien arrière Chris Latham, la légende des Wallabies (78 sélections entre 1998 et 2007), depuis septembre 2024 (et pour trois saisons).

Passé par Colomiers, Vannes, Carcassonne et Atlanta

Son parcours professionnel a débuté à Colomiers, qu’il a rejoint avant la saison 2013. Il y a disputé 54 matchs, dont 20 en tant que titulaire, totalisant 2 083 minutes de jeu. En 2017, il s’est ensuite engagé avec Vannes, alors en Pro D2. Durant cinq saisons, il s’est imposé comme un élément clé, disputant 122 matchs, dont 81 comme titulaire.

Après la saison 2022, Hilsenbeck a rejoint Carcassonne, toujours en Pro D2. Lors de l’exercice 2023, il a participé à 13 rencontres, avec six titularisations, avant de rejoindre Rugby Atlanta en Major League Rugby (MLR).

Aux États-Unis, il a marqué rapidement les esprits : en quatre matchs (273 minutes jouées), il a inscrit 11 points (quatre transformations et un pénalty). Polyvalent — demi d’ouverture, centre ou arrière —, il a parcouru 139 mètres ballon en main sur 21 courses (7 mètres par course) et réussit 34 de ses 40 plaquages.

À l’issue de la saison 2023, Hilsenbeck est revenu en France et a signé au Biarritz Olympique pour la saison 2024, avant donc de repartir au pays.

« Chris aura autant marqué de son empreinte les clubs professionnels où il est passé que le SJLO dont son expérience et son professionnalisme ont résonné au sein de l’équipe », a salué le club de Saint-Jean-de-Luz avant son départ.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
