Career
Henri Lacassagne's first test was on 1 January 1906, against New Zealand.
France played its first official match in the old Parc des Princes, against New Zealand. In their tour of the British Isles, the "All Blacks" accepted a challenge for a match in Paris. After playing their second match in Swansea on 30 December, they took the ferry to Boulogne-sur-Mer, then the train to the Gare du Nord. Fatigued by their voyage, and after a three-month tour, in which they won 31 of 32 matches, they won easily by 38–8 against France in front of 3000 spectators.
Henri Lacassagne played his last test match on 5 January 1907, against the England national rugby union team.
He was on the champion team of France in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and a finalist in 1908.
