Dupont’s dream Rugby World Cup comeback ends in failure when France loses in Paris

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:01:04 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Antoine Dupont sank to one knee and covered his face with his hand as the disappointment of France’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinal loss to South Africa sank in.This was supposed to be his night, the script written perfectly for the captain to lead his side into the semifinals on home soil.Instead, Les Tricolores lost by one point — 29-28 — and the world’s best scrumhalf was unable to summon enough magic to make the difference. In fact, his performance became rather sloppy after a bright start.Dupont won his race to recover from surgery for a broken cheekbone sustained in a game against Namibia 3 1/2 weeks ago, and wore a scrum cap on his surgeon’s advice.He lasted the whole match with seemingly no ill effects. He even endured some rough stuff midway through the first half, when he was bundled to the ground by South Africa captain Siya Kolisi.When he was injured by an illegal head-on-head tackle by Namibia captain Johan Deysel on Sept. 21, Dupont thought his R...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:01:04 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Defending champion South Africa knocked France out of its home Rugby World Cup with a performance of sheer resilience to cling on 29-28 in the quarterfinals on Sunday.France played all the attacking rugby for the first 60 minutes, and had three tries in the first half, including two from prop Cyril Baille, who had France ahead as early as the fourth minute.
