Dupont back in France squad for November internationals

Star scrum-half Antoine Dupont was on Wednesday named in the France squad for November internationals against Japan, New Zealand and Argentina.

Dupont last played for the France team in the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat by South Africa on home soil.

He sat out the Six Nations to focus on playing for the French rugby sevens team, going on to win Olympic gold at the Paris Games.

Dupont's Toulouse teammate Romain Ntamack, however, misses out on the 42-man squad after picking up an ankle injury.

France kick off their Autumn campaign against Japan on November 9, followed by New Zealand and then Argentina on November 16 and 22 respectively.
