Antoine Dupont was obviously happy after the improved success of his team (57-5) against Toulon. The scrum half returned to this good performance and also spoke of his versatility before joining the French team where a possible repositioning was mentioned for him.
While he and all his teammates called up must go to Marcoussis on Monday, Antoine Dupont had another good match against Toulon (57-5). The scrum half was certainly less flamboyant than against Clermont or Paubut he knew how to play fair. He was also lucid about the performance of Toulouse who took time to get into their match. “We know the quality that this Toulon team has with big individuals and a damp ball which didn't make our debut any easier. We were a bit of a dilettante, which meant that we were a little sluggish but we managed knew how to raise the bar and finish strong” he admitted on Canal + after the meeting.
While he returns to the CNR after a year of absence (with the XV of France) some see him playing number 10 in the absence of Romain Ntamack, injured in his calf. Questioned on the subject, the one who finished the match in this opener position preferred to leave the choice to his coach. “ In Toulouse, we are used to changing positions, we are all versatile behind. It's nice to be able to change a little and play with Paul (Graou) who I know well. But nothing more than that. I'll play where I'm told to play“.
The best player in the world in 2021 also answered a question about his great friend Anthony Jelonch, back on the field recently and in great form this evening. “I'm happy for him, he showed a lot of commitment and physical impact. It was important to him to have a big match today, he wasn't necessarily happy with his last performances and he showed that 'he was coming back in better and better shape' perhaps, enough to cause some problems for Fabien Galthié when it comes to putting three names on his match sheet for his third line.
