Antoine Dupont wasted little time in getting up and running in his first Sevens Series tournament, scoring twice to take France to the semi-finals in Vancouver.
Making his Sevens debut after switching from fifteens to target the Olympic Games, Dupont scored his first try for France in the 31-5 pool stage win against Australia.
