Emiliano Coria Trades Italy for France

Argentine Emiliano Coria is leaving the Guinness Pro 12 to continue his professional career in France. The move will see the 25-year-old trading Zebre for Nevers where he will play in the Fédérale 1, France’s third division.

Coria’s move to Nevers will see him joining up with former Pumas second-rower Tomás Vallejos Cinalli. The Rosario forward has also signed for Nevers, doing so from Aix-en-Provence who were relegated from the Pro d2.

From rugby country in Tucumán, Coria was on the fringe of making Los Pumas but remains uncapped. He got regular game time for the Pampas XV in 2012 and 2013 and also played in the 2013 Nations Cup.

In 2014 Coria first played in France, doing so for Top 14 side Montpellier. He was a medical joker for former French international David Attoub.

Before joining Zebre he played for Cavalieri Prato, also in Italy. He joins Nevers having played 10 matches for the Parma based Guinness Pro 12 side.
