video. Stade Toulouse-Bayonne: “Antoine Dupont? Not too bad!” Test, the mischievous Chistera, goes on a brilliant leg… her formidable performance
Toulouse rugby players won 46-26 against Bayonne this Saturday February 3 at Ernest-Vollon, as part of Day 14 of the Top 14. And their star player, getting a place in the opener, was hardly amused.
Did he have ants on his feet? Did he curse on his sofa on the evening of Friday 2 February, watching his French teammates spank Ireland in Marseille (38-17, opening day of the 6 Nations tournament)? However, it seems, Antoine Dupont wants to shine this Saturday, February 3 with Stade Toulouse.

The star player in this period of doubles is, for once, at the disposal of his club. Actually, he will play with 7 players from France this year to try the “Paris 2024 Olympic Games” adventure, and therefore he is leaving the XV of France.
This Saturday, in front of the Ernest-Walloon public, “red and black” manager Ugo Mola lined up Haut-Pyrénées at the opening. This didn’t bother the usual scrum half, the author of an XXL performance, one bit.

“I know the team, the system very well, I feel comfortable opening,” the person concerned responded on the microphone of Canal+ at the end of the match. “Offensively, we were spot on. When you’re in the middle, it’s always easy to play behind a team like that.”
Ugo Mola, his manager, used sarcastic humor when commenting on his player’s performance: “He has a bit of rubbish but in the match, it’s not too bad. For a young guy who plays Let’s Double, I hope he plays a bit Will be able to. One day higher (smiles). Beyond what he does, he brings us peace in a moment where we are floundering.”
