It has now been several weeks since the Toulouse stadium learned to live without Antoine Dupont. The Toulousains have only lost only one match since the injury of their captain: it was against the UBB, last March.

For camp trips, with his left foot and his right foot, but also in the game. He finds angles behind the mauls: there are not many players capable, in traffic, to see a teammate set apart on the other side of the field. It is a weapon that Toulouse no longer has. »»
