The “red and black” largely dominated the Auvergnats this Saturday, October 12 (48-14, 6th day of Top 14), thanks in particular to a hat-trick scored by the star player, returning from vacation and author of three tries in less than ‘a quarter of an hour.
He was expected, observed, scrutinized… And we can say that he did not tremble. This Saturday, October 12, on the pitch of the Ernest-Wallon stadium in Toulouse, Antoine Dupont returned to the ranks of Stade Toulousain, once his vacation as Olympic champion was over.

At the end of the meeting, the fans (and many observers) only had eyes for Antoine Dupont. And we noticed a small injury under the left eye. Far, however, from recalling the impressive coquart that was his during the 2023 World Cup.
At the edge of the pitch, before returning to the locker room, Antoine Dupont was questioned about this injury by Canal +. “I took a finger in the eye, I think it was from one of my teammates” revealed Antoine Dupont with a mischievous smile. “I’ll watch it on video, and we’ll sort it out on Monday!”
