The scrum-half and master of the game of Toulouse and the XV of France, Antoine Dupont, is one of the players from Stade Toulousain who tested positive for Covid-19. Information confirmed Friday by the president of the club, Didier Lacroix.
“He was injured, now he is covid”, explained at a press conference the leader, confirming information that had been circulating since Thursday. He did not give details on the other players concerned.
If number 9’s package is not a big blow for his club, which will not ultimately play its last European Cup group match, match canceled and lost on green carpet due to too many positive players , it is more annoying for the Blues. This announcement comes two weeks before France enters the Six Nations Tournament on February 6 against Italy. Antoine Dupont, summoned to prepare for the competition in Aubagne from Sunday, will have to wait to join his teammates.
