  1. What a performance for France in front of a rocking home crowd. Congrats on a well-deserved gold medal.

  2. Huge home field advantage against a monster opponent in Fiji. I wasn’t sure the French had it in them, but they crushed it.

  3. Yeah I don’t watch rugby usually but DuPont clearly a level above everyone else lmao

  4. Man…I do feel bad for the Fiji players, even as two-time defending champs…

    Fought so close for so long…only for everything to unravel by the end…

    …but alas, it is what it is.

    Congrats Les Bleus!!! It’s a solid redemption for the RWC last year!

  5. First time Fiji’s men have lost in Olympics Rugby Sevens ever.

  6. Great play by France but could anyone more familiar with rugby explain why a game of only 7 minutes a half can waste around 3 mins after France’s first try in the second half? Looked like it was just the referee talking to the players explaining his decisions and almost half the time was gone without any way to make it up

  7. Dupont almost won against the world cup winner last year, won European cup, won Brennus, and the Olympics in 7 …

    That guy.

  8. I don’t understand the sport much but the crown wad electric!!!

  9. Imagine being a rugby 15 player, starting to play Sevens some months ago, and ending being the player of the Olympics final against the best team in the world.
    That’s Antoine Dupont.

  10. I’ve never watched this sport before but that was an awesome game! The kind of thing that makes the Olympics great

  11. It was over for Fiji as soon as Dupont touched the ball.

  12. Knew this would be a good match going in, and it did not disappoint. Yeah would’ve loved it to be perhaps a bit closer, but watching France dominate like that was great to watch.

  13. How is the Rugby 7s over already? it only started yesterday, I swear usually there are a load of group games through the whole games.

  14. How was gold already?? I thought these tournaments played out over days

  15. Bravo! The difference in a home crowd can never be underestimated.

  16. Damn, And didn’t get to see any of that competition 🙁

  17. I never really watch rugby outside of the olympics but this was entertaining.
