'Christophe Dominici' (born
May 20,
1972) is an
French rugby union footballer. He plays
wing for
Stade Français and
France.
Born in
Toulon, Dominici burst onto the international scene in 1998 with a try-scoring debut against
England. The following year, he lit up the
1999 Rugby World Cup with his pace, particularly in the semi-final win against the
All Blacks. But his career has not been without its setbacks, off-field problems forcing him out of the squad at times.
Dominici has a fine try-scoring record and grabbed four during the
2003 Rugby World Cup. He had a nightmare moment in the 2004
RBS 6 Nations against
Italy when, having crossed the try-line, he dropped the ball when trying to put it down with one hand. He started all five of Les Bleus' 2005 RBS 6 Nations games.
