Communeau was widely regarded as France's best forward of the post-war era. A survivor of the first ever French team in 1906, he was to play a total of 21 matches - captaining the side on 13 occasions - scoring three tries.

He is also credited with asking for the team to adopt the coq gaullois as the team's emblem.
