Dubroca had 33 caps for France, from 1979 to 1988, scoring 2 tries, 8 points in aggregate. He captained the French team at the 1987 World Cup, playing all the five matches and scoring a try. He played at the Five Nations Championship in 1982, 1984, 1987 and 1988, being winner the last time, with Wales in points equality.
Dubroca took over as national team coach in 1990 following Jacques Fouroux's resignation. In the 1991 Rugby World Cup, France cruised through opening round before being beaten 19-10 by England in the quarterfinals. After the final whistle Daniel Dubroca manhandled referee David Bishop accusing him of being a cheat.[1] Dubroca later resigned and was replaced by Pierre Berbizier.
