Dupont wary of one of his club teammates against Argentina

These two are rather used to combining together. Usually in the same jersey with Stade Toulousain, Juan Cruz Mallia and Antoine Dupont will this time be opposed during the clash between the XV of France and Argentina. A true Swiss army knife of the Haut-Garonnaise three-quarter line, the rear has taken on an enormous dimension in recent months. Among the best players in the Top 14 last season, Mallia seems to have reached another milestone in the selection, as evidenced by his exceptional try scored last week against Ireland.

“Let him keep the energy to return to Toulouse”

Present at a press conference, Dupont highlighted his teammate while asking him to save time for the championship: “Obviously I know him very well, I work with him on a daily basis, but others have also seen him perform with us, with Toulouse for several years. We know what he is capable of. Regardless of his position, he always performs very well because beyond his physical qualities, he has Rugby qualities and a knowledge of the game which allow him to be good in all situations. I think we've been warned. The match he is having in Ireland gives us yet another warning and I hope that he will not be too good tomorrow evening, that he will keep the energy to return to Toulouse afterwards. (Smile) “
