The captain of the XV of France will join the group which will prepare for the Olympic tournament in January.

Dupont tries the bridge. The captain of the French XV has chosen to join the rugby 7s group with the prospect of competing in the Olympic Games in Paris next summer. Best player in the world in 2021, the one nicknamed the “Minister of the Interior”, remains in a difficult elimination in the quarter-final of the World Cup with the Blues. To refine his preparation, the Toulouse scrum half will participate in his first two tournaments in Vancouver (February 23) and Los Angeles (March 2).

Antoine Dupont joins a great list of French headliners hoped for and expected to be at the forefront in the capital next summer, from Victor Wembanyama to Léon Marchand, including Kylian Mbappé. But this choice also has consequences for the French XV, which will have to do without its captain for the next Six Nations Tournament, in February and March 2024.
