On 24 September, he played his first game for his new club and started as a blinside flanker under his former France U20 coach Sébastien Piqueronies.[5]
In 2018, Zegueur won the Six Nations Under 20s Championship with France U20.[6] A few months later, he was selected for the World Rugby Under 20 Championship and won the competition. He then won a back-to-back championship the year after.[7]
