Pierre Dizabo (4 October 1929 – 24 January 2002) was a French international rugby union player.
Dizabo was born in Saint-Vincent-de-Tyrosse and played mainly for his local club US Tyrosse.[1]
A versatile back, Dizabo had an unusual international career, which he began as a centre.[2] He debuted in France's win over the Wallabies at Colombes in 1948 and remained in the side for three successive Five Nations campaigns from 1948 to 1950. After a record 10 year absence, Dizabo was called by France as a fly–half on their 1960 tour of Argentina.[3]
Dizabo finished his career with CA Bègles.[1]
