French rugby star Antoine Dupont has been causing stir with his recent switch from rugby union to rugby sevens. Many in the rugby community, including Wallabies team member Olympian Corey Toole, have praised his performance in the SVNS Series and the Paris 2024 Olympics. Having personally changed to sevens before the Olympics, Toole expressed respect for Dupont's flawless adaption and major contributions to the triumph of the French squad.
Dupont struck right away off the bench. Following a score for Aaron Grandidier Nkanang, he displayed his ability with two tries of his own—one from a driving maul. France's amazing 28-7 triumph over Fiji resulted from this effort, therefore guaranteeing the gold medal. Both fans and analysts have been lavish in their compliments; some call Dupont the "Greatest of All Time for rugby union.
