gifted, out of category, brilliant… Ugo Mola dithyrambic towards Antoine Dupont
Zapping World Fifteen Grand Slam, competition with Léo Coly, Mondial 2023…
Stade Toulousain largely won on its lawn of Ernest Wallon with the score of 45 to 19. An improved victory which is good in the race for qualification after a first victory against Munster in the first act of the Champions League Cup.
If the whole team was at the level, one player stood out from the others in the person of Antoine Dupont. The scrum half delivered a masterclass against the English with two sublime tries in the first and second half.
Asked by Rugbyrama, the French technician praised all the genius of his player:
”Antoine’s qualities are obvious. He is also there to experience this kind of match with Stade Toulousain. Afterwards, I also really liked Martin Page-Relo’s comeback and his action, even if he wasn’t the one who scored and the try was finally refused… I think that the good performance is the good, emulation must be permanent.
Antoine is a player that we don’t need to introduce anymore, he is out of category. He’s such a different and brilliant guy. He is the gifted player that French rugby has been waiting for, and it turns out that he plays in Rouge et Noir.
to summarize
Antoine Dupont was the author of an XXL performance in this second day of the Champions Cup against Sale Sharks. A performance that Ugo Mola highlighted in the columns of Rugbyrama. With two tries, the n°9 is a great craftsman of the victory of his people.
