Antoine Dupont was not present on Saturday for the clash between Racing 92 and Stade Toulousain on behalf of the 11th day of Top 14. The captain of the Rouge et Noir and the XV of France was entitled to a few days of rest after a very physical fall tour with the Blues. But the Toulouse captain will return as quickly as possible in order to start the Champions Cup with the club from the pink city this weekend. However, he was able to take advantage of his last days of rest and in particular had to watch very closely the Ligue 1 match between Toulouse and Auxerre yesterday. The reason being that the scrum-half is a big fan of AJ Auxerre.
Dupont fan of AJA
So, although he appreciates his hometown club, namely Téfécé, Dupont is a big fan of AJA and we have learned that in recent weeks. At the end of October, Djibril Cissé, former Auxerre striker, and the AJA revealed Antoine Dupont's interest in the Burgundian club. The official account of the football club had in fact published the photo of a Stade Toulousain jersey, sent by Antoine Dupont to Djibril Cissé (the ex-player comes to Auxerre every week to train the team's attackers), and on which was written: “For Djibril, who made me a fan of the AJA”. Suffice to say that Dupont, born in 1996, must have been thrilled by the exploits of Cissé, AJA striker from 1999 to 2004. And he fell in love with the Burgundian club, which is a rather unexpected revelation.
