Rugby 7s: Dupont key in winning bronze in Vancouver (video)

A first small final this season, and a resounding victory for the French rugby sevens team. Beaten at the last minute by New Zealand in the semi-finals, the men of coach Jérôme Daret found the United States, a nation that They were clearly beaten in the group stage (24-12).

Antoine Dupont, the star of rugby union, recently arrived at 7, this time started the match on the field, with starting status, on the synthetic turf in Vancouver. He quickly distinguished himself... at his expense by receiving a yellow card in the second minute of play. A two-minute exclusion which offered too much space to the Americans who scored immediately, twice (0 -12).

As soon as he returned to the field, Dupont offered two tries in quick succession to Theo Forner and Aaron Grandidier. The Blues lead at the break (14-12 MT). Returning from the locker room, the Blues unfold. Dupont, again, closed the debates with a personal exploit. (42-12).

The French rugby sevens team achieved its best performance of the season 151 days before the Paris Olympic Games this summer (July 26 - August 11) where they will be among the outsiders. Next stop in Los Angeles (March 1 to 3) where Dupont will once again be the center of attention.
