Sunday Social: April Fools, Antoine Dupont’s world and heated coaches

It is time for Planet Rugby’s Sunday Social, your quirky recap of the serious and not so serious talking points from the past week’s action.

Once again, April Fool’s plagued social media this year with this pearler coming out of Australia. Fool rebrand? We hope none of you fell for this one.

Another fool in the midst. The Blues joke about players being able to personalise their jerseys from 2024 onwards. The chaos that erupts on the field with random names and numbers would be a sight to behold. Should something like this be considered?

Meanwhile, it’s Antoine Dupont‘s world, and we’re just living in it. The French captain shows pure class yet again, breaking the line and then nailing a perfectly weighted cross-kick a couple of phases later. Is Dupont French for cheat code, by any chance?

Another of the game’s greats today, South Africa’s Cheslin Kolbe, showed you should never give up on a chase as he profited from his own hard work, here.
