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].

Defined as "An excellent defender and strategist», an author in 1984 estimated that he missed "the great acceleration, which decides everything, to equal the more sophisticated players at his preferred position"[5].

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

Garrigue also was the coach of France national rugby league team between 1978 and 1981[7], coaching France in two tests lost against New Zealand in Carlaw Park.

An aeronautical technician, according to a source in 2011, he lives in "Ariège, near Suc"[6].

gollark: 2012 would be... Sandy Bridge or so, so newer CPUs will basically just be more cores and slightly higher single-thread performance.
gollark: You can get both pretty easily if you just get a somewhat better GPU than you would for a productivity-only setup.
