Philippe Bernat-Salles

Philippe Bernat-Salles (born 17 February 1970) is a retired French rugby union player, usually playing as a wing.

[2] In 1987,[2] Bernat-Salles joined the high-level club closest to where he lived, Pau, where he gained his first international caps and remained until 1996, at the start of the professional era, when he moved to Bordeaux-Bègles.

In 2006-07, finally, while acting as US Capbreton's backs coach, he was a part of Tarbes's roster alongside his old Pau and France teammate Philippe Carbonneau, but ended the season having played only one first XV game[5] and retired from active rugby.

[8] He maintained his position in 1999, being selected for the World Cup where he played five games, including the historical semifinal win against New Zealand, in which he scored a try[9] and the final against Australia.

[14][15] He had planned to compete in the 2008 Dakar Rally[16][17] alongside Gilles Lafeuillade on a Bowler, but the race was canceled at the eleventh hour due to the fear of a terrorist attack.
