French Stars Set To Return For Toulouse In Investec Champions Cup

French halfback superstar duo Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack are due to be reunited for the first time in Toulouse colors since last season’s Top 14 final per reports.

Due to suffering a catastrophic injury during the Rugby World Cup warm-up matches, fly-half Ntamack has been unavailable to both club and country through the first half of this season.

In his absence, regular fullback Thomas Ramos has started Toulouse’s Investec Champions Cup fixtures in the No. 10 shirt.

Dupont, on the other hand, was unavailable for France during this year’s Guinness Six Nations Championship due to his commitments with the French sevens squad.

Thus, his return for the Round of 16 clash with Racing 92 is a major boost for the only undefeated team from Pool 2 of this year’s competition.

Reuniting arguably the best halfback partnership in professional rugby adds further firepower to a side that already has won all of its Champions Cup clashes with a four-try bonus point this season.
