Toulouse: Geoffrey Palis quips on how he could stop Antoine Dupont
Zapping World Fifteen Rugby: Top 15 highest paid players
Pierre-Henry Broncan’s Castres Olympique will return to Stade Toulousain for what promise to be an explosive semi-final. Although the Tarnais had a week off to ideally prepare for the meeting, the Toulouse would have in their ranks a lethal weapon by the name of Antoine Dupont. A weapon that scares all the defenses of the championship.
But the back of the CO, Geoffrey Palis, wants to put into perspective and take with humor the future confrontation of his team against the best player in the world whom he knows very well. For the Midi Olympique, he returned to the only way to stop his former teammate:
”Other than kicking him out of the bus, I don’t see how to reduce his influence! Moreover, we know “Toto” well, he is an incredible player, he is monstrous.
In addition to being the regulator of his team, he is capable of franchising, going to score alone or creating huge gaps for his teammates. It will be necessary to succeed in containing it, of course; but it would be a mistake to focus primarily on him.
We must not neglect his teammates who all have talent and who all sound potentially very dangerous! In short, on a job.
