Jacques Gasc (24 December 1949 – 16 June 2025)[1] was a French international rugby union player.[2]
A wing–forward, Gasc played for SC Graulhetois in his hometown of Graulhet and was a member of the team which were 1976 Challenge Yves du Manoir finalists, a surprise appearance given they were a second division club.[3]
Gasc was kept out of the national team by the established pairing of Jean-Pierre Rives and Jean-Claude Skrela on the flanks, receiving his sole opportunity in 1977. With Rives not match fit, and his replacement Jean-Luc Joinel injured, Gasc was capped for France in the second Test match against the All Blacks at the Parc des Princes.[4]
Gasc died on 16 June 2025, aged 75.[5]
