The Federation has denied the information according to which four players from the French XV could join “France 7” to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
It’s not a secret. Antoine Dupont, scrum half and captain of the French XV, has repeatedly repeated his desire to participate in the Paris Olympic Games with the French 7s team. Which should happen. According to the information of Olympic Midday three other internationals from the French XV should accompany him.
Indeed, the third line (or winger) of Stade Français Paris, Sekou Macalou, and the three-quarter center of Montpellier, Arthur Vincent, should also be part of the Olympic adventure. One last case remains unresolved, that of Damian Penaud (UBB) who reserves his response.
In the event of withdrawal, he could be replaced by his teammate in Bordeaux, winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who shone during the last World Cup. Information that the French Rugby Federation insisted on denying, a little later on Sunday evening.
