Born in Ibos, Pécune was a three-quarter, who appeared primarily as a centre. He played his club rugby for Tarbes and was a member of the side that were French champions in 1973, scoring their first try in the final against US Dax.[1]
Pécune played for France from 1974 to 1976, gaining 10 caps. His four tries included a double against the visiting Pumas at the Stade de Gerland in 1975. Military service kept him out of selection contention during France's 1977 grand slam.[2]
A gym teacher by profession, Pécune had an unsuccessful stint coaching Tarbes in the late 1990s.[3]
