Antoine Dupont Leads France to Victories in Rugby Sevens Debut

The world-renowned rugby union player transitions to sevens, eyeing Olympic gold at the Paris Games.

Antoine Dupont, the world's best rugby union player, has made a successful transition to rugby sevens, aiding France in securing victories over the United States and Samoa at the Vancouver SVNS event.
Dupont's participation in rugby sevens is part of his ambition to win Olympic gold at the Paris Games, taking place from July 26 to August 11.
By winning their first two games, France has secured the top spot in Pool B, with one more pool match against Australia scheduled.
Dupont's move to rugby sevens comes after a distinguished career in rugby union, including being named world player of the year and three-time Six Nations player of the year.
The Paris Olympics represent the 'Holy Grail' of the sport for Dupont, who has taken time out from rugby union to adapt to the sevens format.
