Roger Garrigue (born 26 June 1941), sometimes written as Roger Garrigues[2] (born in Toulouse, on 26 May 1941), is a French former professional rugby league footballer and coach, who played as centre, stand-off or scrum-half.

Biography[edit]

Originally, a rugby union player formed at TOEC XV, Garrigue would later switch codes to play for Saint-Gaudens[3][4][5] and then, for Toulouse Olympique, where he would play for most of his career, before joining Villefranche-de-Rouergue.[6]

Defined as "An excellent defender and strategist", an author in 1984 estimated that he missed "the great acceleration, which decides everything, to equal the more sophisticated players at his preferred position".[5]

He also represented France, playing in the 1968 Rugby League World Cup final lost against Australia.

Garrigue also was the coach of France national rugby league team in 1978[7] and then, in 1981,[8] coaching France in two tests lost against New Zealand in Carlaw Park.

An aeronautical technician, according to a source in 2011, he lives in "Ariège, near Suc".[6]
