The XV of France sends disappointed supporters to bed, frustrated by their end of the weekend and this ugly draw (13-13) at home against Italy.
And while they sleep, his usual captain enjoys his new life on the other side of the world.
Aligned for the first time on a stage of the world rugby sevens circuit, Antoine Dupont took third place with his new partners in the Vancouver tournament on the night of Sunday to Monday February 26.
Three days of competition, six matches and three trials for the French rugby star.
A good result for his first steps at this level.
“I felt he was rather comfortable and very appropriate,” said ex-September international Julien Patey.
“We can talk about a successful debut,” confirms the former France 7 coach, Frédéric Pomarel.
He got in tune with the demands of the discipline, without putting himself in difficulty, nor putting the team in difficulty.
And the staff didn't put him in a difficult position from the start, letting him gradually integrate.
