Career

Teisseire, while playing for Carcassonne, was called up to dispute the first edition of the Rugby League World Cup in 1954, which was played in France. He took part to three matches of the tournament, including the final against Great Britain on 13 November 1954 at Parc des Princes in Paris in front of 30.368 spectators, won by Great Britain.

During his sports career, several rugby union clubs tried to sign him, such as Castres, Narbonne or Mazamet, but unsuccessfully, because Tesseire always preferred playing for rugby league clubs.

After his player career, he became coach and international referee, he notably refereed a match between Great Britain and Australia in Perpignan during the 1972 Rugby League World Cup.

In 2003, Teisseire was indicted to the Medal of Youth and Sports by the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Jean-François Lamour.
