Biography

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]

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