Jacques Cristina


Jacques Cristina is a French former international rugby union player.
Born in Clermont-Ferrand, Cristina was a powerful number eight, known by the nickname "le tracteur".
Cristina, while with AS Montferrand, made his only international appearance for France in 1979, playing against Romania at Montauban. He may have featured more if not for his studies, having made himself unavailable for that year's New Zealand tour due to exams. In 1980, Cristina left Montferrand for Stade Clermontois.
