Antoine Dupont is playing his first tournament with the French 7s team this weekend in Vancouver. The captain of the Blues is preparing for the Paris Olympics.

Dupont withdrew from the French XV for the Six Nations Tournament. He has been voted best player in the world by the Rugby World Cup judges. He will be closely scrutinized for his performance at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2016. The French coach Jérôme Daret tells Le Figaro that Dupont's arrival had been planned for several months.
