“We played a serious game”, welcomes the captain of the Blues Antoine Dupont

“A more than satisfactory result.” It is with these words that Antoine Dupont, captain of the France team, summed up the performance of the Blues, after their victory against Georgia (41-15), in the second match of their autumn tour. At the microphone of France Televisions, Dupont, who wore the French captain’s armband for the second time, underlined the good group dynamics. “We played a serious game, we were able to take the score from the start, even if we spent a lot of time in their camp without scoring. Overall we were present”, welcomed the Toulousain, six days before the match against New Zealand.

Asked about the turnover of the workforce, the scrum half felt that the score allowed Fabien Galthié to coach early. “It was important that everyone had playing time, Dupont said. The finishers [remplaçants] bring us a lot when they come home, it can only be positive for the future. “
