the immense tribute of the Blues of rugby 7 for Dupont after the world coronation

The Blues of the French rugby sevens team were crowned champions of the HSBC SVNS Series yesterday by stifling Argentina in the final against Madrid. The French were opposed to the most consistent team of the season on this world circuit but they put together a superb match to win 19-5 and thus pocket gold. The Blues won their second tournament in three months, after that in Los Angeles, and they struck a major blow in view of the Paris Olympic Games this summer. Obviously, this success is also thanks to Antoine Dupont, who was sparkling. The scrum half even received the title of rookie of the year after his debut in rugby sevens. His partners therefore did not fail to praise him.
