Joseph George Michel Antelme (23 April 1934 – 26 October 2023) was a South African international rugby union player active in the 1950s and 1960s.
Born in Durban, Antelme was the son of Franco-Mauritian Special Operations Executive agent France Antelme and attended St. Charles College, Pietermaritzburg, from where he is the first Springbok.[1][2]
Antelme was a hard–running Natal winger and gained five Springboks caps. He appeared on the right wing for all four home Test matches against the All Blacks in 1960. A member of their 1960–61 tour of Europe, Antelme began with three tries in the opening fixture against Southern Counties, but his only international was the final Test match in Paris.[1][3]
