Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
A “lack of respect” concerning Antoine Dupont. This is what the coach of the Argentine rugby sevens team Santiago Gomez Cora thinks. While we learned that Antoine Dupont was nominated for the title of best player in the world 2024 in rugby sevens, the coach of the South American national team explained that he did not understand the presence of the captain of the XV of France and Stade Toulousain. He therefore spoke of “a lack of respect”. Dupont is named alongside his teammate Aaron Grandidier Nkanang and Terry Kennedy. As a reminder, the Blues scrum half, in four contested tournaments, won the Los Angeles tournament, the final stage of the world circuit in Madrid as well as the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Suffice it to say that his presence is not incongruous but the coach of the Argentine national team protests.
A lack of respect for Gomez Cora
“I don't agree at all [avec sa nomination]. I now understand many things that I already assumed. […] He played two World Tour stops, including one as a substitute. He played a total of 12 minutes in Vancouver and they put him on the roster. From there we got worried. In Los Angeles he played a little longer and was named the tournament's best player and so on. And now the player of the year. I think it's too much and it's a lack of respect.”Gomez Cora told ESPN. It should be remembered, however, that Dupont and the Blues eliminated Argentina in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics and the pill may be difficult to pass for the Argentine coach…
