Scrum-half eschews Six Nations and sets out on quest for Olympic gold after World Cup heartache
“It’s the holy grail of sport,” Antoine Dupont declared on the Team France social media channels last week. As he sets out on his quest for Olympic gold, the Toulouse scrum-half has swapped this year’s Six Nations for the World Sevens Series, a competition he has been gearing up for since the turn of the year.
The 2021 World Player of the Year will be making his highly anticipated sevens debut in Vancouver on Friday evening and is set to be involved in the Los Angeles leg of the tour the following weekend as well. At BC Place, France will begin their campaign against the USA, before taking on Australia and Samoa in their other Pool B fixtures.
