Antoine Dupont pulls off sublime 7s style try in the Top 14

BY Philip Bendon  ·  Monday Mar 25, 2024

Arguably the best rugby player since Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, France’s Antoine Dupont is arguably the biggest global star in the game today.

Seemingly unplayable most of the time he is on the pitch, the regular French captain has taken a hiatus from the XV a side game to have a crack at Olympic glory with Les Bleus 7s program.

Immediately making an impact, Dupont led France to its first 7s title in 19 years three weeks ago in Los Angeles.

Whilst he was tearing it up in the USA, his XV-a-side teammates endured a mixed Six Nations campaign.

Thus, his return to club side Toulouse is a major boost for the Top 14 Champions as they look to lock down a top of the table spot heading into the knockout stages.

Featuring for Ugo Mola’s side over the weekend, Dupont looked as sharp as ever and in fact looked to have added an extra burst of acceleration to his game.

Utilising all of his skills, Dupont rallied his team from a heavy deficit at half-time to within 3 points at the final whistle.

Now set to depart once again to join the French team at the Hong Kong SVNS event, Dupot left Toulouse fans one little gem with what was a superb piece of skill to set up a try for Matthis Lebel.
