« On voyait que le talent était là », s’est souvenu vendredi Joe El Abd, l’entraîneur de la défense de l’Angleterre, à propos d’Antoine Dupont, qu’il a connu jeune à Castres et retrouvera lors du Crunch samedi à Twickenham.

« J’ai passé deux années avec Antoine durant sa formation, on voyait le talent qu’il avait et maintenant, on voit les fruits de tout le travail qu’il a accompli durant toutes ces années », a déclaré l’entraîneur de 44 ans devant des journalistes.

Éblouissant face au Pays de Galles, Antoine Dupont, considéré comme un des tout meilleurs joueurs du monde à 28 ans, est passé par le Castres Olympique entre 2014 et 2017, alors que Joe El Abd y a officié comme entraîneur des avants entre 2015 et 2019.

« C’était déjà un super mec, qui voulait travailler tout le temps, et améliorer son jeu », a expliqué le technicien anglais. « Ensuite il est parti à Toulouse, y a fait sa place, et maintenant on voit qu’après l’expérience à VII l’an dernier, il a ajouté cela à son jeu et il continue de progresser », a loué El Abd, devenu manager à Oyonnax par la suite avant de rejoindre le staff de Steve Borthwick en 2024.

Pour lui, le demi de mêlée du XV de France n’a jamais eu de véritable faiblesse : « Non, je me rappellerai toujours de lui bottant des deux pieds, et essayant toujours de tirer du pied gauche, et maintenant, évidemment, il a cette corde à son arc. »

Dupont sera aligné avec les Bleus face au XV de la Rose lors de la deuxième journée du Tournoi des Six Nations samedi (17h45) à Twickenham.

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

My father, a retired schoolteacher, has always been cautious with his money. He worked hard his entire life to build a modest retirement fund and trusted that it would support him in his golden years. So, when he told me about an “exclusive” investment opportunity in cryptocurrency that promised high returns, I was immediately suspicious. But he was convinced it was legitimate—after all, the website looked professional, and the salesperson had been so persuasive over the phone. Despite my warnings, he invested 15,000 USD of his savings. At first, everything seemed fine. He received regular updates and saw “profits” reflected in his online account. But when he tried to withdraw some money, the website suddenly went offline, and the phone number was disconnected. My father was devastated. He had been scammed, and his hard-earned savings were gone. I knew I had to act quickly. I reached out to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, a company I had read about online that specialized in tracing online fraud. I explained the situation, providing them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and even the emails from the scammer. The team at TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account where the money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to freeze the account and recover the funds. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the 15,000 USD to my father. The relief on his face was indescribable. Not only had TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY restored his savings, but they had also given him peace of mind. They even took the time to educate him on how to spot investment scams in the future, empowering him to protect himself. This brought our family closer together. My father now understands the importance of skepticism and due diligence, and I’m grateful to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY for their incredible work. They didn’t just recover money, they restored my father’s faith in justice and gave him a second chance to enjoy his retirement.EMAIL..Techcybersforcerecovery(@)cyberservices(.)comWHATSAPP... + 1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7
