Antoine Dupont is accelerating his learning curve in the world of rugby sevens. After quietly making his debut with the French team on Friday at the Vancouver Sevens, the usual captain of the French XV team played a key role in their dominant 31-5 victory over Australia on Saturday. Dupont started the game and helped to increase the score in the second half. The French team finished the group stage undefeated, following victories against the United States and Samoa. They will now face South Africa in the quarter-finals during the night from Saturday to Sunday (4:28 am French time).
Dupont’s performance in the Vancouver Sevens shows his ability to adapt quickly to the fast-paced nature of sevens rugby. As a key player for both the French XV and sevens teams, he continues to prove himself as a versatile and talented athlete. His leadership on the field is essential to the team’s success, and his experience in both formats of the game is invaluable.
The French team’s strong start at the Vancouver Sevens bodes well for their chances in the rest of the tournament. With Dupont leading the way, they have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. The upcoming match against South Africa will be a tough test, but with Dupont’s skill and determination, the French team has a good chance of advancing to the semi-finals and beyond.
