Daniel Dubois (17 June 1944 – 25 May 2001) was a French international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Le Havre, Dubois was a flanker and started out with Racing Club de France. He later joined CA Bègles and captained the club to a French championship title in the 1968–69 season.[2]
Dubois gained his only France cap at the age of 26 in the 1971 Five Nations, playing as a flanker against Scotland at Colombes. France won 13–8, but Dubois was unable to hold onto his place in the side, which went to André Quilis.[3]
