                    Good players have the skills.

                    Great players grab games by the scruff of the neck and impose their will on proceedings. And Antonie DuPont has done exactly that in the Olympic Final of a home games to win France their first Gold medal of 2024.

                      Rugby's biggest superstar since Jonah the Great.

                      All hail Antonie Dupont.

                      Well done France.

                            @game_film I have so much respect for French Rugby after coming within a lick of paint of spoiling our most special moment in 2011.

                            Glad in a way they got theirs.

                                To put it mildly.

                                Lots of people calling him the Messi of Rugby or the GOAT.

                                He's still behind Richie McCaw, Gareth Edwards and John Eales for me. But he's 27 and has more chapters to be written. One of the very greatest ever that's for sure.

                                    French team in their after match gear look like they’ve taken up test match cricket.

                                        I know the football has to start early to fit in the whole comp with enough gaps between games. But is the Sevens starting early just because of other events coming up in the stadium?

                                        Yes. Basically have to play the men’s and women’s before the athletics start.

                                        Are there no other Stadiums in Paris?
