Marcel-Frédéric Lubin-Lebrère (21 July 1891 – 7 July 1972) was a French rugby union player who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics.[1] Typically playing as a prop forward, Lubin-Lebrère was also occasional deployed as a lock.[2]
Lubin-Lebrère played fifteen matches for France,[3] including the 1920 Five Nations match against Scotland colloquially called the “Le match des borgnes”.[4][5]
Lubin-Lebrère was arrested the night before the 1920 Ireland–France Five Nations fixture in Dublin, along with his teammates Théophile Cambre and Jean Sébédio, for singing revolutionary songs in a pub with sympathisers of the IRA at a time of the Irish War of Independence. They were released before the match. France won 7–15.[6][2]
