France captain Antoine Dupont lived up to expectations as the mercurial scrumhalf made his Six Nations comeback in style to lead France to a 43-0 crushing of Wales in this year’s curtain riser on Friday.
Antoine Dupont marked his return to Six Nations duty in stunning style as he underlined his billing as the ultimate all-round rugby player by helping France to a crushing 43-0 victory over Wales in Paris on Friday.
Dupont missed last year’s championship as he battled for a place on France’s rugby sevens squad for the Paris Olympics.
Needless to say, he made the side and duly scored a brace of tries in the final as France hit gold at their home Games.
