Samuel Marques (born 8 December 1988), often cited as Samuel Marquès, is a French-Portuguese rugby union player. He plays as a scrum-half. He is of Portuguese descent and represents Portugal at international level.
Club career
Marques first played at US Eauze, from 2004/05 to 2006/07, before joining Section Paloise in 2007/08. He joined the first team at 2009/10, and would play there until 2011/12, at the Pro D2. He was lent to SC Albi for two seasons, 2011/12 to 2013/14, playing regularly at the Pro D2. He returned to Section Paloise, playing two seasons and being a member of the team that won the Pro D2 in 2014/15 and having his debut at the Top 14 in 2015/16. The following season he moved to Stade Toulousain (2016/17). He moved afterwards to CA Brive, playing there from 2017/18 to 2018/19, the first season at the Top 14 and the second at the Pro D2. He returned to Section Paloise for two more seasons, from 2019/20 to 2020/21. He joined US Carcassonne for the season of 2021/22, at the Pro D2.[3][4][5]
In April 2023, it was announced that Marques had again left another club, joining Béziers in the Pro D2.[6]
International career
He has 25 caps for Portugal, since his debut at the 32–25 win over Uruguay, at 11 November 2012, in Montevideo, in a tour, aged 23 years old. He has been a regular player for his national team in more recent years and has become one of the top scorers, with 3 tries, 61 conversions and 32 penalties scored, 233 points on aggregate.[7][8] Marques scored in all four of Portugal's pool matches at the 2023 Rugby World Cup including 9 points in the victory over Fiji, Portugal's first win at the Rugby World Cup tournament.[9]
