Brendan Gallagher: Furious little bull who was as hard as nails
Imagine being a French rugby international in the tumultuous decade between 1971 and 1981, with huge Five Nations clashes every year.
This period included epic games against New Zealand and Australia, as well as the legendary volatility of the French selectors and the demands of the French club season.

Miraculous: Between 1971 to 1981, Bertranne played for France.
