Jean-Michel Cabanier

Jean-Michel Cabanier (13 May 1936 — 25 April 2010) was a French rugby union international.

Raised in Tarn-et-Garonne, Cabanier played originally for Castelsarrasinois but spent most of his career with US Montauban, where he won a Brennus Shield in the 1966–67 season.

Cabanier, hooker in a strong France national team during the 1960s, earned a total of 26 caps, forming a front-row with Arnaldo Gruarin and Jean-Claude Berejnoï that was considered the world's best. He was the Oscar du Midi runner-up in 1967 and made two appearances for France in their grand slam-winning 1968 Five Nations campaign.
