The France XV can boast having some of the best players in the world on their team. While this superlative has been used for many years for Antoine Dupont, Louis Bielle-Biarrey has also entered the discussion. Equipped with a superpower thanks to his speed, the winger scores tries with disconcerting ease.
Having equaled the record last season (8), “LBB” has now taken sole possession of the title of all-time leading scorer in a single edition by scoring nine tries in this tournament.
In a side event organized by the LNR and Société Générale, Jonny Wilkinson commented on France’s victory in the Six Nations in an interview with AFP. The English legend is impressed by these two players.
“Even though we’ve been playing rugby for 200 years, there are always spaces to revolutionize the sport, even when we think we’ve seen all that’s possible. He may not be the biggest, may be the fastest, but he is capable of revolutionizing the sport. With his little kicks, his vision, his ability to be where he needs to be, when he needs to be there, it’s incredible. He and Antoine Dupont are revolutionizing this sport. They will open the door for others, for the young ones who can explore in their turn. That’s the evolution of the sport, it belongs to players like them at the moment. Sometimes, it is impossible for me to know how he can create magic moments like that. For me, there’s nothing to do on the field when you’re a defender. You’re there, but he always finds a way to score.”
To sum up, during an event organized by the National Rugby League and Société Générale, Jonny Wilkinson discussed the latest Six Nations Tournament. The English legend remains impressed by Antoine Dupont and Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
