Dop featured in the 1951 French rugby league tour of Australia and New Zealand, in place of injured scrum-half back Joseph Crespo. It was Les Chanticleers first such tour, but they lost only 4 of its 28 games, with Dop's dashing runs seen as instrumental in France's victory over Australia in the first Test.[1] Also during this tour in a match against South Auckland in New Zealand Dop was struck by a spectator.[2] He later toured with France playing at fullback.[3] In 1988 he was inducted into the International Rugby League Hall of Fame.
