A native of Biarritz, Hontas was a speedy Biarritz Olympique winger, who excelled in 400 metres races.[1]

Hontas toured New Zealand with France in 1989 and had his ear badly torn in the tour match against Wellington, requiring 25 stitches.[2][3] He didn't play against the All Blacks and won his first cap in the next year's Five Nations. Capped nine times in total, Hontas appeared in all of France's matches in their winning 1993 Five Nations campaign.[4]
