André Boniface, former iconic three-quarter center of French rugby, died this Monday morning, at the age of 89. He wore the Blues jersey 48 times in his career.
His career is inseparable from that of his brother Guy, with whom he played at Stade Montois, but also in the French team. André also won the Tournament (of the Five Nations at the time) four times, in 1954, 1955, 1959 and 1962. He resigned in 1972, then returned a few years later, from 1977 to 1984.
