Sa rentrée comme remplaçant en quart de finale du HSBC SVNS Vancouver 2024 contre l’Irlande aura fait la différence.

Antoine Dupont, le joueur le plus en vue du week-end et de loin le chouchou du BC Place de Vancouver, a prouvé qu’il avait sa place dans l’équipe de France de rugby à 7.

Ce quart de finale reprenait la même affiche que le tournoi de Perth entre ces deux équipes ; l’Irlande ayant gagné en Australie 21-14.

A égalité à la fin du temps réglementaire

Appliqué pendant ses sept minutes de jeu, il a su maintenir le momentum avec le reste de l’équipe alors que le score était de cinq partout après un essai de Jordan Sepho juste avant le break et une égalisation de Harry McNulty à la 11e, alors que la France ne jouait qu’à cinq.

Deux cartons jaunes reçus coup sur coup – pour plaquage à retardement (Rebbadj) et pour avoir joué le ballon au sol (Joseph) – menaçaient la France qui n’avait plus gagné en quart de finale depuis le tournoi de Toulouse 2023.

Arrivé dans le temps additionnel et alors que les Français étaient au complet, c’est l’Irlande qui fut pénalisée, Niall Comerford étant obligé d’assister à la défaite de son équipe depuis le banc pour ne pas s’être dégagé à temps d’un ruck.

La vista de Dupont

Une mêlée proche de l’en-but irlandais a permis à Dupont d’introduire le ballon. Repérant un espace, il a trompé déjà la défense irlandaise et a filé à l’essai, libérant du même coup son équipe en remportant la victoire 12-5.

« Je suis tellement content. On attend cette demi-finale depuis le début de la saison », affirmait Aaron Grandidier-Nkanang juste après le coup de sifflet final.

« Y arriver enfin et que ce soit Antoine qui marque, c’est génial. Je pense qu’on apprend de nos erreurs. C’est le genre de match qu’on aurait perdu en début de saison. Le travail commence à payer. »

La France affrontera la Nouvelle-Zélande en demi-finale dimanche 25 février. Le coup d’envoi sera prévu à 22h07, heure de Paris.

Rappelons que l’an passé, la France avait échoué en finale du tournoi de Vancouver contre l’Argentine (33-21).

Conor Murray: French giants weigh up shock move for Ireland star

A few months ago, I was approached online by a so-called investment broker. Everything looked professional — flashy websites, fake but convincing reviews, even video calls with people who seemed legitimate. They promised unbelievable returns on Bitcoin investments, and I, eager to grow my crypto holdings, fell for it. Over a few weeks, I transferred Bitcoin worth around $360,000 to what I thought was a secured investment wallet. The “broker” kept assuring me my money was growing, even showing fake dashboards with fabricated profits. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, they demanded additional fees — taxes, account, activation, and release charges. That’s when the truth hit me I had been scammed. Devastated, I started searching for solutions. But then, a glimmer of hope. A cybersecurity contact muttered Try Dexdert Net Recovery. They hunt crypto ghosts. Dexdert Net had real testimonials, detailed explanations of their process, and most importantly, they didn’t ask for any suspicious upfront fees. After contacting them, their team patiently walked me through the steps gathering all evidence of the scam, tracking the Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain, and using legal recovery channels and cyber forensic methods. They kept me updated at every stage. 4 days later, I got the email I’ll never forget: Funds Recovered. Dexdert Net Recovery successfully traced and retrieved the entire $360,000 worth of Bitcoin from the scammer’s wallets. Thanks to Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, not only did I reclaim my lost Bitcoin, but I also regained a sense of justice — and a serious lesson learned. If you’re ever in a situation like I was, know this: there’s hope, and there are real experts out there who can help. Dexdert Net Recovery proved it to me.
