Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
He will inevitably be one of the main attractions of Friday’s final: Antoine Dupont will, once again, be the center of attention and his face-off with Maxime Lucu will be watched very closely. On what result will the Toulouse scrum-half leave rugby union (for this season), before switching to his “Olympic Games” project? Will he join his colleagues in the 7s with a new title of champion of France? The scenario had been somewhat identical before the Madrid tournament, which Dupont had played just after winning the Champions Cup final. And it had brought him luck since he had been crowned world champion in 7s… All signs are good to take…
“He is perfect ! “
Antoine Dupont is one of the leaders of Stade Toulousain, to the point of even being captain of the club. His talent is such that inevitably, everyone is tempted to ask his teammates what it feels like to play alongside such a player, and what Antoine Dupont is like on a daily basis.
The last person to draw a portrait of the number 9 was Sofiane Guitoune, in the show “Comme à confesse”, on Rugbyrama. It’s a short portrait, but clearly, in addition to being a good player, Antoine Dupont is above all a very good person.
I shared my room with Toto Dupont for a long time when he arrived at Stade Toulousain, and at the World Cup in 2019. And I said to myself that if my daughter can find a son-in-law like him… He’s perfect! He’s a face, he needs studies, he plays rugby, he’s nice… He’s an adorable guy!
As for the faults, we’ll come back to them.
To sum up
He will inevitably be one of the main attractions of Friday’s final: Antoine Dupont will, once again, be the center of attention. His teammates are often asked to say what it’s like to play with this player, and what he’s like on a daily basis. And the last one to take part in the exercise was Sofiane Guitoune.
