Today, Antoine Dupont is the player who brings joy to all of French rugby, match after match, card after card. On the November tour, there are players who revealed themselves a little more within the French XV, but the scrum half and captain of the Blues confirmed the general impressions about him, namely that he is a player of an extraordinary level, complete, and with exemplary vision of the game.
Denis Charvet even seems to have found a ready-made career path for him when he has finished his playing career: that of a coach. It even seems, for the former international who spoke on the Super Moscato Show, that the Toulouse native already exercises this function to some extent on the field.
He is already a coach. He's a kid who stinks of rugby, it's incredible. When you listen to him at halftime (the speeches in the locker room), you tell yourself that the guy is already a coach. There have been great players in the scrum. But the difference between him and the others is that he makes you win. At this point it's impressive.
He transmits confidence to his partners, but above all he must fear his adversaries. I've never seen a guy like that in my life. And the guy never drops his performance level.
He's a natural leader, he has that in his skin. He sees actions before others.
“He’s an exceptional guy.”
This leadership that Denis Charvet speaks of, Vincent Moscato also highlighted it, showing himself impressed by Antoine's ability to carry an entire group forward, both in his mentality and by his inspiring performances. The “Dupont-dependence” that we often talk about, it is complicated to deny.
We are always dependent on the guy who pushes you forward. You saw the clarity he has! In addition to being good individually, he thrives on the group, he helps others (…) He has incredible foresight while he is in the oven and in the mill. He is in a position where he takes a lot of hits, he tackles a lot, and he is clairvoyant (…) He is an exceptional guy (…) In my opinion, he is a cyborg.
We can't wait to see if the “cyborg” Dupont will be present once again this Friday evening, against the Pumas.
To summarize
Today, Antoine Dupont is the player who brings joy to all of French rugby, match after match, card after card. On the November tour, there are players who revealed themselves a little more within the French XV, but the scrum half and captain of the Blues confirmed the general impressions about him, namely that he is a player of an extraordinary level. Denis Charvet and Vincent Moscato praised his leadership qualities, almost finding him an ideal role for his post-career.
