Antoine Dupont to the fore as France run riot with 11-try thrashing of Italy
Antoine Dupont was undoubtedly the star of the show as France delivered a sensational performance to defeat Italy with an 11-try thrashing. The French scrum-half’s brilliance was on full display, contributing both in terms of leadership and playmaking throughout the match. His quick thinking and deft passing helped orchestrate a relentless attack, making it nearly impossible for the Italians to contain the French onslaught.
France’s 11-try victory was a comprehensive display of attacking rugby, with every player involved in the offensive play, but it was Dupont’s vision and execution that stood out. His ability to control the tempo, make incisive breaks, and set up try-scoring opportunities was key to France running riot on the scoreboard.
The match served as a reminder of France’s depth and skill, and Dupont’s performance further solidified his reputation as one of the best players in world rugby.
