In a video published on the official Six Nations account, the Toulouse third row praises a quality rarely mentioned in the star player of the French XV.
Antoine Dupont is definitely an ultra-complete player. Often in the spotlight for his offensive exploits, the star scrum-half also plays a vital role defensively. And his teammates don't forget that. In any case, not François Cros, in a video published on the official French Six Nations account.

When asked for his top 3 best tacklers in the world, the Toulouse native replied: “We don't necessarily think of him in that register, but Antoine Dupont, when he has decisive tackles to make, he makes them every time “He saved us several times at the line, notably with the French team.”
François Cros necessarily has in mind the exceptional save of his captain against Ireland, during the 2023 Six Nations Tournament. Antoine Dupont made a memorable defensive gesture by preventing Irish winger Mack Hansen from flattening the ball in the in-goal.

To complete his top 3, the third row chose two other players from Stade Toulousain: Pita Ahki, “quite demonic in midfield” and Emmanuel Meafou, author of “big offensive tackles”. A slightly chauvinistic classification. But, in terms of tackling, François Cros masters his subject.
