Rougerie was part of the French team which reached the World Cup final in 2011 when he set up Thierry Dusautoir's try.

Rougerie also captained the French Barbarians on two occasions, winning against Samoa in 2013 at the Stade Marcel Michelin and against Australia in October 2016 (19-11).

Rougerie sued Phil Greening of England for a hand off during a European game in 2002 that left him with a throat injury forcing him to undergo 3 larynx surgeries.

Then he captained the Clermont Auvergne side that won the French championship, the Bouclier de Brennus, after 10 unlucky chances, against Perpignan in a one way final (19-6) on 29 May 2010.

Rougerie won his second Bouclier de Brennus in 2017 with Clermont before his last season as a professional player.
