Teammates at Stade Toulousain, Antoine Dupont and Thomas Ramos were lined up hinged together. The two men were decisive in this victory against the New Zealanders. “ With Thomas (Ramos), we have a lot of automatisms. It is up to us to find other keys to turn things around. It's me who takes all the games, it's normal (to have waste) », declared Dupont at the end of the match at the microphone of TF1.

Ramos on Dupont: “He made a few mistakes leaving camp, but we won’t tell him”

« My relationship with Antoine at a turning point? It's obviously easier to play with a player like that who remains a great player and above all who scares opposing defenses. The opponents are on him all the time so it also leaves more possibilities for the players around him to express themselves “, for his part confided Ramos, before calling out his captain: “ He was clean. He made a few mistakes out of camp, but we won't tell him. We will wait for Monday and the debrief. »

Smiling, Antoine Dupont answered him via microphone. “ It's comfortable for him, it's me who takes all the games. I know he won't tell me because I know him. He knows those were the first things I noticed about my match. We'll talk in the shower », Retorted the darling of French Rugby, who is definitely experiencing strong emotions in this year 2024, he who won the Top 14, the European Cup but also 7-a-side gold at the Paris Olympics.
