Another World Cup and a municipal election in his village of Castelnau-Magnoac (Hautes-Pyrénées), and Antoine Dupont will have won everything he can hope to win.

The scrum half and captain of the XV of France was voted best player of the Six Nations Tournament this Friday.

It was the FFR who first proudly announced the news.

The best player in the world dominated the vote, ahead of two third row, his teammate Grégory Alldritt and the Irishman Josh van der Flier.

These three names came out of a consultation of several media whose countries participate in the Tournament.

And it was the general public who decided on social networks, without much surprise.

Stade Toulousain number 9 had already been the first Frenchman to win this award since its creation in 2004, at the end of the 2020 edition.

Dupont returns to the height of Scottish fullback Stuart Hogg, distinguished in 2016 and 2017, and a length from Irish center (and retired) Brian O'Driscoll, crowned in 2006, 2007 and 2009.
