Jean-Claude Rossignol (10 August 1945 â 24 November 2016) was a French international rugby union player.
Rossignol hailed from Grignols in Dordogne and was originally a basketball player. A Saint-Junien junior product, Rossignol started out in senior rugby with CA Brive, as a versatile member of their forward pack. He gained international selection via Brive, then had several seasons with SC Tulle, which he captained, before finishing his career back in Brive.
Rossignol made the French squad for a 1972 tour of Australia, consisting of two Test matches against the Wallabies. He missed the opening match, but played the second fixture in Brisbane, a 16âÂÂ15 win over the Wallabies. He also represented France on a tour of Argentina in 1974, although not against the Pumas.
