Playing career Born in
Montlucon, Lhermet was a product of
RC Vichy and spent his entire career at the top level with
Montferrand. He played his rugby as a flanker and was capped three times for
France, twice in the
1990 Five Nations and against Romania in Bucharest three years later. During his time at Montferrand, Lhermet played in two
French Championship finals and was a member of the club's
1998–99 European Challenge Cup-winning team, before retiring in 1999.
Coach and executive Lhermet remained at Montferrand (later renamed ASM Clermont Auvergne) after his playing career and served in various coaching roles, including sporting director, before leaving the club in 2021. He has since joined the executive team of the
French Rugby Federation as vice president of high performance and refereeing. ==See also==
