Does anyone think that Antoine #Dupont may be France's Achilles heel?
He is one of the most perfect players around right now, but the over-reliance on him in attack has been found out before.
Other teams have sussed him & the lines he runs out to a certain extent.
He is going to get a very tough time from the ABs tomorrow, particularly if France don't change things up a bit.
It's going to be quite the opener, no matter what
Cant wait!

I think A Dupont has found the recipe of Asterix's magic potion. He'll be alright.
Isnt it nice to have a world cup opener that could also be a final ? We are going to be in for a grand spectacle.
Beware of the Pacifika teams too ?
@LeGone I think Dupont fell in as a baby
I'm really looking forward to the opener! The rest of the weekend looks very promising too. #IREVROM isn't going to be very exciting, but #ENGvARG, #RSAvSCO & #WALvFIJ are all going to be serious battles.
#Samoa surprised me (and Ireland) during the warm-ups. With Leinsterman Ala'alatoa as captain, they are definitely my Pool D team.
