The career of the former French rugby international Christophe Dominici, found dead on Tuesday, November 24 at the age of 48 near Paris, has followed the sinuous trajectory of his life, from the sublime test against New Zealand during the Mondial-99, to the darkest despair, which haunted him.

The man who "crushed the black" participated in the two most beautiful victories of the XV of France against the All Blacks in the World Cup, in 1999 and 2007. Back in pictures on these two exploits with Christophe Dominici.
