Switch.
France star Antoine Dupont is currently taking a well-deserved break after helping lead his country to Olympic sevens gold over the summer.
The world-class scrumhalf missed last year’s Six Nations to make the switch to sevens and the move certainly paid off as France defeated reigning champions Fiji in the final in Paris.
He’s set to return to action with Toulouse by mid-October and it appears he’s not done ‘switching’ just yet with boss Ugo Mola confirming Dupont would like to try his hand at outside centre this season.
Dupont at 13? Now that’s something we would definitely like to see!
Antoine Dupont confirmed last night to @canalplus that he will be back on the pitch for Toulouse by mid-October.
Toulouse boss Ugo Mola says Dupont wants to try his hand at outside centre at some stage this season.
