Antoine Dupont Returns to Lead France in Six Nations After Olympic Gold Success

The star scrum-half aims to build on France's strong autumn series and his sevens rugby experience as Les Bleus seek another Six Nations title.

Antoine Dupont, fresh from winning Olympic gold in rugby sevens, returns to the Six Nations after a one-year hiatus.
France's national team enters the tournament with momentum following an unbeaten autumn series, including victories against New Zealand and Argentina.
Key players Romain Ntamack and Thomas Ramos are set to play pivotal roles, with Ramos nearing Frédéric Michalak's all-time points record.
France faces a mix of challenges, with injuries sidelining senior players like Gaël Fickou and Jonathan Danty, while new talents such as Noah Nene have been called up.
The inclusion of players previously involved in legal controversies has drawn scrutiny, raising questions about the team's efforts to reform its image.
