Very big information this Thursday, January 2 about Antoine Dupont at Stade Toulousain. While the Haut-Garonnais club spent the end-of-year holidays at the top of the Top 14, following the success against Stade Français last Sunday, the Rouge et Noir are now preparing the Top 14 poster against La Rochelle, scheduled Saturday evening, before the long trip to South Africa as part of the Champions Cup for the match against the Sharks. But this Thursday, January 2, the public present at Toulouse training was able to smile because Antoine Dupont was present.
Dupont present
The captain of Stade Toulousain and the XV of France was present on the neighboring Ernest-Wallon grounds. The scrum-half did not play in the Boxing Day matches, being on vacation against Lyon when he was supposed to be back against Stade Français. But, due to illness, he withdrew at the last minute, replaced by Paul Graou. From now on, the Olympic champion in rugby 7s has recovered and he will therefore very surely be there against the Rochelais on Saturday evening. Ugo Mola, the Toulouse manager, will not complain. Regarding the absentees, Japanese scrum-half Naoto Saito is ill, Richie Arnold (acromioclavicular dislocation at the beginning of November) is still out, while David Ainu'u remains under observation, still suffering from a shoulder.
To summarize
Very big information this Thursday, January 2 about Antoine Dupont at Stade Toulousain. While the Haut-Garonnais club spent the end-of-year holidays at the top of the Top 14, following the success against Stade Français last Sunday, the Rouge et Noir are now preparing the Top 14 poster against La Rochelle.
