Dupont scores four tries in five games

Antoine Dupont, a scrum-half for Stade Toulousain, has scored four tries in his last five matches this season, reigniting discussions about his form after a serious injury. His performances have pleased the team's supporters, though questions remain about whether he has fully regained his ability to dominate defenses.

Tries showcase Dupont’s skills

In his match against Bayonne on October 11, Dupont scored twice, with his first try coming in the 10th minute. This demonstrated his ability to identify gaps and exploit them, while his second try resulted from support play and a deflected pass from Ange Capuozzo. He also made a crucial pass to Romain Ntamack, highlighting his broader influence on the game.

Dupont’s performance metrics

According to the official match sheet, Dupont covered 100.4 meters in the game against Bayonne, the highest total for Toulouse in that match. His return to competition on November 29, 2025, against Racing 92 marked the start of his journey to regain his form after a cruciate ligament injury with the French team in March.

Dupont acknowledges areas for improvement

In an interview with Canal+, Dupont admitted that his kicking under pressure has had some errors. He noted that the difference between a decisive Dupont and a top-tier Dupont lies in his repeated precision over the course of a match. Toulouse had 56% of possession in the match against Bayonne but did not dominate field occupation, indicating some defensive weaknesses.

Upcoming matches will test Dupont’s form

The upcoming matches against Exeter and the French team's international fixtures in November will be crucial in determining Dupont's current form. His ability to maintain consistency and perform in high-pressure situations will be closely watched. At 29 years old, after two knee injuries, Dupont has regained the ability to play multiple matches and let his performances speak for themselves.
