Philippe Saint-André

Philippe Saint-Andre was a prolific France winger, famous for finishing 'The Try from the End of the World' against the All Blacks in 1994, and later coached the national team.

Philippe Saint-André's most replayed moment has nothing to do with a match he won: in the 1991 Five Nations against England at Twickenham, France launched a length-of-the-field counter-attack starting from behind their own try-line, finishing with Saint-André touching down after a move involving nearly the entire team. Decades later, it's still shown as the textbook example of the flair French rugby built its reputation on, regardless of the actual result that day. He captained France 34 times, a total that placed him among the country's most-selected captains at the time, before moving into coaching -- first at Gloucester in England, then eventually taking charge of the French national team itself from 2011 to 2015, a rare case of a player captaining his country and later returning to coach it. Saint-André's playing career output -- 32 international tries, third on France's all-time list behind only Serge Blanco and Vincent Clerc -- came almost entirely from the wing, a position that depends on teammates creating the chances he then had to finish, making the tally as much a comment on the sides he played in as on his own finishing.
