Jean Trillo (born 27 October 1944) is a French former rugby union international.[1]
Born in Condom, Trillo was a centre who was regarded as a tough defender and spent his career with CA Bègles, which he joined from hometown club SA Condom in 1964.[2] He was on the CA Bègles team which won the 1968–69 Brennus Shield, scoring their only try in the 11–9 final win over Toulouse, after intercepting a pass meant for Jean-Louis Bérot.[3]
Trillo, capped 28 times by France, made his debut on the 1967 tour of South Africa. He played twice in France's grand slam-winning 1968 Five Nations campaign.[4] His career included tours of Australia and New Zealand.[2]
In 1991, Trillo was on the French coaching team for the Rugby World Cup.[5]
Trillo's sons François and Philippe also competed in French rugby, the former becoming a noted sports journalist.[6]
In 2013, Trillo received the Legion of Honour award.[7]
