The family is growing for Antoine Dupont and the XV of France. Enough to delight the tricolor scrum-half.
According to the British bookmakers, Antoine was not the favorite. Consequence of the Grand Slam achieved by Ireland. The Irish Mack Hansen and Hugo Keenan seemed better placed. However, like last year after the successful Grand Slam by the XV of France, it was Antoine Dupont who was crowned best player of the 6 Nations Tournament. A performance of choice for the Toulouse player.
Antoine Dupont is only the third player to retain the trophy. Better, already winner in 2020, the tricolor captain joins Brian O’Driscoll in the annals of the Tournament, the two men sharing the coronation record. The Toulousain did not hide his pleasure when receiving his new trophy from the hands of Cyril Baille. “The France Rugby family is happy to announce the arrival of the youngest,” he wrote on social networks.
