Antoine Dupont Leads France to Victory Against Uruguay
In a tense match at the Stade de France, Antoine Dupont and the French rugby team secured a hard-fought victory against Uruguay, winning 19-12. Despite a rocky start and technical errors, the team demonstrated resilience and determination as they qualified for the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games. Dupont, who scored his first Olympic try, acknowledged the need for improvement in their gameplay but emphasized the positive mindset within the squad. He stated, “We know that if we don’t raise our level of play, we won’t go very far.”
The match against Uruguay was crucial for France, especially after a disappointing draw against the United States earlier in the day. The French team struggled to establish their game plan and faced a tough challenge from the South Americans, who took an early lead. However, Dupont’s powerful performance reignited the team's spirit, allowing them to take control of the match. As they prepare to face Fiji in their next match, the French team is aware that they must elevate their performance to maintain their hopes for Olympic gold.
