Antoine Dupont a encore brillé pour son retour au rugby à 7, ce samedi 1er juin. Le Toulousain a permis aux Bleus de venir à bout de la Grande-Bretagne et de se qualifier pour les demi-finales du tournoi de Madrid.

He continues to impress, regardless of the number of players on the field. Antoine Dupont helped his team win the Champions Cup final against Leinster with a remarkable performance last week. Antoine Dupont also helped the Blues of 7 win in the quarter-final of the Madrid tournament this Saturday, June 1.

A try and an assist

Spare on part of the group matches, Dupont played his second match against Great Britain. On the bench in the first period, his return changed the course of the match. Led 12-5, the French saw the captain of the XV of France carry out a solo raid of 60 meters, putting the opposing captain Robbie Ferguson on the buttocks.

A few seconds later, despite his fatigue, he energized himself by quickly playing a penalty in the money-time. His swaying run fixed the British defenders, he only had to give for the Nelson Épée rocket, perfectly offbeat and author of the victory try (19-12).

France will face Fiji in the semi-final at 12:21 p.m. this Sunday. Antoine Dupont will obviously be there.
