Another unprecedented indicator for the Blues, who are unaccustomed to such media attention. “We are preparing for this,” says captain Pauline Riva. We are very happy to welcome Antoine and everyone else. This is positive for the group and very exciting to prepare for what awaits us in July. “Thank you for being here, you are part of the performance plan,” continues coach Jerome Daret. We did our internship in Fiji, where everyone knew us better than here. We’re not quite used to this. But it forces us to prepare for what comes next. It’s a great thing for rugby sevens.” More media, more audiences, and all with more Antoine Dupont: that’s the recipe for a medal at the Paris Olympics.
