    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?

                              Wonderful player. Humanity needs people like this.
                              Such a shame in Rugby WC 2023 the draw was so messed up we didn't see more of France.
                              The French WC atmosphere was lacking in the semis and beyond. I missed it.

                                Used throughout most of his 7s time to bringing his visions and skill from the bench. I hope to see BB do the same thing, he seems to be able to come on and change the game with a full brief from the coaching/analytics team and his own vision it makes sense

                                      Antonie Dupont's from the Hautes-Pyrénées down in the south west of France, but I get what you mean.
