Antoine Dupont scored a sublime try on the lawn of Clermont at the opening of the top 14. -

It was worth the wait.

Six months after the last day of the top 14, Clermont and Toulouse made us vibrate like crazy on Sunday during the first day of the 2020/2021 championship.

Especially Toulouse, moreover, which almost reversed a badly barred match at 13 against 15 for an entire half (33-30).

This match kicked off the season perfectly with a trial orgy on either side.

The reigning French champions (and yes) have scored four, and we will especially remember the last, already in our highlights for the rugby Oscars

WHAT TEST @StadeToulousain with @ Dupont9A at the conclusion and WHAT GESTE BY @ ThomRamos15 😱🤯

Thomas Ramos and Antoine Dupont in demonstration

Originally, a memorable gesture by Thomas Ramos.

Only 5 m from his in-goal, the latter makes a pass between his legs under the Clermont pressure after a kick to follow.

At the reception, Ntamack launches the counter until finding Matthis Lebel overflowing on the side which plays with the opposing defense before shifting inside on Antoine Dupont.

The French international eliminates the last defender of Clermont before concluding a test incredibly led by Stade Toulousain.

In vain, since a last try refused to Ntamack prevented the Stadium from making an improbable comeback to Marcel-Michelin.
