Antonie Dupont on.

[sparky]

A Cullen-esque moment from DuPont to set up a try straight away.

12-7

[sparky]

Kick good. 14-7

That was genius.

[MiketheSnow]

Interesting decision

[sparky]

The crowd are not happy.

[sparky]

DuPont the best rugby player on the planet?

[MiketheSnow]

Fiji definitely rattled

[MiketheSnow]

These scrums have eaten the clock

[sparky]

This is astonishing from DuPont.

[MiketheSnow]

Cometh the hour

[sparky]

DuPont scores.

[MiketheSnow]

Great for France
Great for the Games

Worthy winners

[sparky]

Good players have the skills.

Great players grab games by the scruff of the neck and impose their will on proceedings. And Antonie DuPont has done exactly that in the Olympic Final of a home games to win France their first Gold medal of 2024.

[sparky]

Rugby's biggest superstar since Jonah the Great.

All hail Antonie Dupont.

Well done France.

[sparky]

French Rugby's greatest moment.

@sparky holy shit. An all time great backhanded compliment.

[sparky]

@game_film I have so much respect for French Rugby after coming within a lick of paint of spoiling our most special moment in 2011.

Glad in a way they got theirs.

[Billy Tell]

Dupont was awesome.

@Billy-Tell said in Olympic Sevens 2024:

Dupont was awesome.

To put it mildly.

Lots of people calling him the Messi of Rugby or the GOAT.

He's still behind Richie McCaw, Gareth Edwards and John Eales for me. But he's 27 and has more chapters to be written. One of the very greatest ever that's for sure.
