He made his comeback. We left Antoine Dupont with the French XV jersey during the quarter-final of the 2023 World Cup, lost to South Africa. Since then, the Toulouse man has shone at 7, winning the Paris Olympic Games. Back with the Blues during the November tour, the scrum-half produced clean copies, without standing out as he is accustomed to. Whatever the case, his simple presence changes everything according to Patrick Arlettaz, as he confided for The Team : “With him, we have the impression that we can go even further in what we can ask and what we want to do.”
“He will be even better for the Tournament”
An impression shared by William Servat, who believes that the best is yet to come: “Things happened naturally. He is still as important and involved as ever. He is a natural leader. He is getting back to his level with us and he will be even better for the Tournament”. The Blues will try to get a second coronation after 2022 to add to their list of achievements.
