Camberabero is a son of the former international,
Guy Camberabero, and the nephew of
Lilian Camberabero, two brothers who took part in the first
Grand Slam won by France. His brother, Gilles, is also an outstanding rugby player. Camberabero is the seventh highest point scorer for the men's French international team, with 354 points in 36 test matches. Camberabero previously set a world record for the highest number of points in a single match for a national team: 30, against Zimbabwe in 1987. This still stands as a French national record, although the world record has now been surpassed by
Simon Culhane (45 points, against Japan in 1995). With his father Guy, Camberabero is tied for the French record of the number of successful conversions in a match: 9 in 1987, against Zimbabwe. He held the world record for the number of successful
drop goals in a single match, 3 in 1990 until
Jannie De Beer of South Africa broke this when he kicked 5 against England in the
1999 Rugby World Cup quarter final. Camberabero felt the intrusion of the
Cold War in the 1984 FIRA Championships. As a member of the French armed forces, the Polish rugby body tried to prevent him playing , along with
Henri Sanz and the
Brive RFC centre
Yves Fouget, because they were supposed to constitute a security risk to the Communist Regime. ==Statistics==
