Watch: French halfback Antoine Dupont shows why he's the world's best with stunning tap-on try assist

French halfback Antoine Dupont has pulled off a miraculous try assist for Toulouse in their 48-24 pummelling of Stade Francais in the Top 14.

His skill was once again on display as he miraculously tapped on a bouncing ball in the backfield after a clearing kick from Thomas Ramos. An awkward bounce meant the Stade Francais backfield over ran the ball, while a streaking Dupont hit the ball towards his outside winger with one hand.

Stade Francais’ defence was left stunned as the tap-on pass landed perfectly into winger Matthis Lebel’s arms, who streaked away to finish off the 90-metre movement that began under Toulouse’s goal posts. The try was his second of the match and a league-leading eighth this season.

    Why Antoine Dupont is the best halfback in the world

    The tap-on was reviewed by the TMO for a potential forward pass before being upheld. Toulouse scored seven tries in the rout, claiming their 10th win of the season and sixth straight while Dupont also bagged a try for himself.

    The win over fifth-placed Stage gave them top position in the Top 14 as they chase a record 21st championship in the Top 14.

    Dupont recently was named Player of the Tournament for the 2020 Six Nations, becoming the first ever French player to win the award.

    Late try spares Ireland from further ignominy in world rankings

    I’m quite confused by your comment, but this is the way to do it:

    “base this solely on what happens in the Pools. So best 4 Pool winners will play best 4 third place and assuming the top 4 pool winners progress, they will avoid eachother until the semi”

    Just like they do in the champions cup.


    “The problems with this is that Big teams will be encouraged to absolutely trash minnows raking up huge scores”

    I actually don’t agree that this is the case.


    If this method had been used to rank teams in the 2023 RWC, the ranking after the pool stages would have been:

    Ireland (19 table points; 144 points difference)

    Wales (19 TP; 84 PD)

    France (18 TP; 178 PD)

    England (18 TP; 111 PD)

    New Zealand (15 TP; 206 PD)

    South Africa (15 TP; 117 PD)

    Argentina (14 TP)

    Fiji (11 TP)


    Ireland’s most dominant result was 82-8 against Romania, a smaller margin of victory than South Africa and Scotland managed against the Romanians - but Ireland still manage to get top seed. Wales’ most dominant victory was 40-6 against Australia - only Fiji recorded a smaller margin of victory in their most dominant result - and yet Wales still get 2nd seed because they got a bonus point in 3 of their 4 games. What this system rewards most of all is consistency of performance, and victory in the pool’s most difficult fixtures.


    If this system had been applied in 2023 it would have arguably produced a much fairer draw, with the QF matches being:

    IRE v FIJ

    WAL v ARG

    FRA v RSA

    ENG v NZE

    so New Zealand get a slightly easier fixture, and Ireland get a much easier fixture. South Africa get the same draw, but in this scenario that isn’t just bad luck - its punishment for losing to Ireland. I guess France can feel slightly hard done by, but they could have avoided South Africa if they had scored 4 tries against Uruguay.
