Even within the XXL squad at Stade Toulousain, Antoine Dupont has a special status. Considered the best player in the world, the scrum-half embarked on a crazy challenge last season with the blessing of his club. He decided to turn to Rugby sevens, winning the Olympic title a few weeks after his Champions Cup – Top 14 double with the Rouge et Noir. Already a star of world rugby, Dupont has taken on another dimension in recent months. However, don't count on Ugo Mola to rest on his laurels.
“He plays less and less for Stade Toulousain”
In an interview given to The Teamthe Toulouse manager launched a little dig at his star while emphasizing the emulation within his group: “Yes, Antoine is taking up more and more space, but he is playing less and less for Stade Toulousain! Like Ange Capuozzo, Juan Cruz Mallia, Blair Kinghorn, all in high demand by their selection, need to be managed to continue to perform well and play this game of emulation. This is the case at all positions. Look in the third row, the young Léo Banos, Mathis Castro-Ferreira, Théo Ntamack are chomping at the bit. If one day a player wants to leave because he is too impatient and wants to try his luck elsewhere, you have to accept it. » Before the start of the Champions Cup, Stade Toulousain intends to continue its good momentum.
