Christian Delage (born 16 January 1954) is a French former rugby union international.[1]
Delage, known as "Coco", was born in Brive-la-Gaillarde and played junior rugby at Stade Langonnais, but got his start at the top level with CA Brive, a club his father had played for.[2]
After moving to SU Agen, Delage won his first Brennus Shield in 1982.[3]
Delage, who had been a substitute for France in the 1977 grand slam, gained his two caps in the 1983 Five Nations Championship, as a flyhalf in matches against Scotland and Ireland.[2]
A Brennus Shield-winner again in 1991 with Bègles-Bordeaux at the age of 37, Delage continued playing into his early 40s and had a season at Stade Bordelais, before finishing his career back at Stade Langonnais.[4]
