Champions Cup – “Townsend 1 – Dupont 0”: when Exeter enjoys the upcoming duel between its scrum half and Antoine Dupont

The match is on, and rather with humor and finesse. A few days before the match on the second day of the Champions Cup between Exeter and Stade Toulouse (Sunday December 15, 6:30 p.m.), the official account of the English club dared a rather amusing comparison between the Chiefs' English scrum-half, Stu Townsend , and the Toulouse captain, Antoine Dupont.

According to the 2020 European champion, the 29-year-old Englishman thoroughly dominates his upcoming duel with the French international. As proof, Townsend played 921 minutes with the Taunton Titans, a rugby club based in Taunton, while Dupont: zero. Worse, the captain of the XV of France has no selection with the England under-20s, while Townsend has played eight matches.

The Englishman more emblematic than the Frenchman? The Chiefs support him with two unstoppable arguments: Townsend's fiancée is an Irish international, and he scored a one-shot on the Teignmouth golf course. Feats that Antoine Dupont – quadruple French champion and double European champion – cannot claim… “Incomparable”caption Exeter's X account. Definitely!
