France beat Ireland 12-5 in the quarter-finals of the Rugby 7s World Cup. Antoine Dupont scored the winning try in added time.
The win qualifies France for the semi-finals in Vancouver. Dupont is the Toulouse and emblematic captain of the XV of France, replacement. The Blues had developed the most flamboyant game of the tournament before the final phase, with a third group victory on Saturday morning against Australia (31-5) Dupont, starting in this match without any stakes for the French, took the opportunity to score his very first try.
