Not relevant to the point, heās going off to do something different for a few months.
Modern world of sport.
If you say so.
Is he still going to play club rubby?
How different is rugby to 7s rugby? Same rules and skills just take out the fat lads?
Would you say the FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious completion in football?
Different specialism. You canāt compare a Serevi to a McCaw, for example.
I suppose the World Series wasnāt the most prestigious prize in baseball when Deion Sanders decided not to play for a bit?
Not a lad of lads on here wishing Dupont luck. Poor form.

The 5 Nations was always the midweek Goal Challenge equivalent of the World Cup.
I wonder will Lebron James and Kevin Durant skip the NBA playoffs next Spring to focus on the Olympics?

Upto march I think I heard which would mean missing Toulouse champions cup matches if/when they make later stages of the tournament
I hope he does very well. It is some honour for him and rugby that the French Olympic federation and Government have been pushing so hard for him to come over to try something different. Theyāre looking for him to be a Cathy Freeman, Ian Thorpe, Chris Hoy, Rafaela Silva etc of these Games in Paris.

He needs to get practicing for Sevens, itās a different beast.
Youāre comparing 7s rugby to track and field at the Olympics?
