Antoine Dupont suspicious of this Sale team “in full confidence”
Zapping World Fifteen “I’ve come a long way”, Mathieu Bastareaud revels after his comeback
Antoine Dupont will lead Toulouse for the match against Sale. And despite a good start against Munster, the international scrum half knows very well that we must not get carried away and that the Champions Cup does not really leave room for error, as he said in conference Press.
This victory at Thomond Park got us off to a good start in this Champions Cup. On taking important points on the outside and that was the team’s objective. Now we also know this competition very well, and after one day nothing is certain. So Sunday against Sale it will be necessary to confirm this success, otherwise the counters will be reset.
No room for error, we repeat. And even less against Sale, who dominates the Premiership with Saracens and who also perfectly succeeded in entering the Champions Cup, with a victory against Ulster 39 to 0. Antoine Dupont therefore approaches this meeting with a lot of mistrust.
It’s a team that performs well. Sale is a team that scores a lot of points, and they dominate their matches. She is full of confidence and is playing this Champions Cup to the hilt.
(…) This English team is a team that we have heard little about in recent seasons. She didn’t always play the leading roles (…) But this season, on a real feeling that she has reached a milestone, and her players have demonstrated it for their debut against Ulster. We have been warned, and it will be a big piece on Sunday on Ernest-Wallon’s lawn.
to summarize
Antoine Dupont, captain of Stade Toulousain for the clash against Sale Sharks. The international scrum-half does not want his group to rest on their first success against Munster, because opposite is a Sale team which we must be very wary of this season.
