# Rugby: France captain Antoine Dupont defied critics to miss the Six Nations tournament and focus on making the Olympic Sevens team. He is considered one of the best players ever and his presence at a home Games is a massive coup for the national team and the organisers. Dupont will make his Olympic debut in Pool C action against the United States and Uruguay on Wednesday, with the final pool game against Fiji and the quarterfinals a day later. The semifinals and final are scheduled for Saturday.
