The scrum-half of the XV of France, recently elected best player of the Six Nations Tournament, granted an exclusive interview to the Figaro.
Antoine Dupont explains the reasons for the renewal of the Blues since the beginning of the year.
“It's a lot to have a strong understanding on and off the pitch.
Everyone appreciates and respects themselves.
This is an inexperienced group, and those who had a little more experience (
Le Roux, Fickou ...
) had never experienced such good periods with the France team.
Everyone is therefore happy to spend time together, which was not always the case in recent years due to the lack of results… We are all at the dawn of a new project, with the desire to be invest in it.
It is undoubtedly easier because few players have this heavy past in the France team.
We almost all arrived with a freshness and a desire that facilitated the implementation of the project. ”
