Jean Matheu-Cambas (23 June 1920 â 26 May 1989) was a French international rugby union player.
Born in Gelos, Matheu-Cambas was active in the immediate post war years and made his international debut for France against Wales during the 1945âÂÂ46 Victory Internationals. He gained 24 caps for France as a wingâÂÂforward, almost always beside Guy Basquet and Jean Prat, with whom he formed a back row for a record setting 22 matches. At club level, Matheu-Cambas won French Championship titles with both SU Agen and Castres Olympique, the latter as captain.
Matheu-Cambas became a coach and led SC Mazamet to the 1958 Challenge Yves du Manoir title, while also guiding them to a runnerâÂÂup finish in the French Championship the same season.
