Born to a French father and a Chinese mother, Chloe Besanger left the country of her birth at the age of 5 for the city of Versailles outside of Paris. Had she not returned a decade later to Singapore, it may be the French who would have the tiny speed demon on their wings.

How long have you been playing rugby union and how did you start?
I've been playing for a year now. I started rugby last year in mid june when I bumped into a touch teammate during a touch carnival. It was my first time seeing her in 6 months and I remember jumping on her due to my joy. She then told me that a rugby tournament would be held during the 2nd week of july, and asked me if I was keen to play. She is now one of the persons I respect the most and most grateful to. Each time I step on the field, I try not to disappoint her.
What other sports do you play besides rugby and at what level?
I used to play handball with my school and touch rugby. For handball, I took part in tournaments against the local unis and clubs, and played some beach handball competitions. For touch, I trained with the national touch squad a few times and made it for the u20s. I dropped both because of injuries, studies and to focus on rugby more.
