Adrien Mournet (born 5 July 1953) is a French former international rugby union player. [1]

Contents

Born in Galan, Mournet was a two–time Brennus Shield finalist playing for Stade Bagnérais. [2]

Mournet made several representative appearances for France "B", forming a halfback partnership with Pierre Pédeutour. He was a member of the French squad for the 1980 Five Nations, without obtaining a cap. In 1981, Mournet was flown over to Australia as a replacement player for Pierre Berbizier, who suffered a badly cut ear in the opening Test match against the Wallabies. [3] During the second Test match at the SCG, France's scrum–half Jean-Pierre Élissalde came off the field injured, giving Mournet the opportunity to play the remaining 20 minutes and earn an international cap.
