Standout scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has taken the first steps in his bid to help France win the rugby sevens at the Paris Olympics this summer. Dupont came on midway through the second half in a 24-12 win against the United States and once again in a 40-7 win against Samoa on Friday night in Vancouver, which is hosting the fourth round of the men's and women's HSBC SVNS competition. The 27-year-old Dupont is widely considered the world’s best rugby union player in the traditional 15-a-side format.
