New consecration for Antoine Dupont. The captain of the French rugby team was voted best player of the 2023 Six Nations Tournament on Wednesday March 29 by the organizers of the competition. This is the third time in four years that the Stade Toulousain scrum-half has received this award (after 2022 and 2020).

Despite France’s second place behind Ireland, he retains the title he won last year.

At 26, Antoine Dupont continues to mark the history of rugby. Because at the same time, he becomes the second player in history to win this individual title three times, after Brian O’Driscoll. Although he did not score a try during this 2023 edition, the scrum-half largely contributed to the good performance of the Blues by playing the five games where, as usual, he made his qualities speak on both both offensive and defensive.
