France DETHRONES Fiji in rugby gold medal match behind Antoine Dupont's performance | Paris Olympics

it's a shame they have not a World cup yet in Rugby 15...When they are on their game , they are unbeatable...french flair rugby.

Congrats to the country of France for finally after all these years,waves and waves of warriors destroyed by the Fijians. You have finally got your gold. Malo Toso Fiji.proud pasefika here win or lose.

Can you guys not spoil what happens?

Antoine est vraiment le meilleur du monde! Allez Stade Toulousain!

I'm not Rugy fan, but love the atmosphere. Like a football atmosphere.

Great French team led by the GOAT. They got to do something about that announcer. What a distracting loudmouth and he should be permanently sinbinned for his French pronunciation alone.

So is like the full team rugby in the Olympics or just Rugby7 ??

ANTOINE DUPONT!

Congratulations France way to play for your

Even though I wanted Fiji to win the Gold Medal, I give credit to France. Job well done! Better luck next time, Fiji.

Dang

France had to bring in Dupont to beat Fiji

Dupont, one of the greatest rugby player of all time, switched to 7 for a chance to play this final and look at what he did. It's one thing to set high goals for yourself, it's another to actually deliver and boy does he deliver. For decades to come, you'll hear around the rugby fields sentences like those: "but is he as good as Antoine Dupont?", and "is he the new Antoine Dupont?", or "this guy is good, he reminds me of Antoine Dupont".

This Dupont guy is thick and quick

Thanks for saving us the time, no need to watch the video if the title spoils the match 👎

Dirty jumper by France no need to cleat the man mid jump

that guy was on the bench? (!???!?) rugby 7s FTW

Hearing all the Fijian names is so cool

I am a little confused. Please help. Fiji defeated Ireland in the quarter finals and were scheduled to face France in the semifinals, which is what this video is. So, if France defeated Fiji, how did they win gold? Do they not have to play South Africa or Australia in the final in order to win the gold??

How are we already at the gold medal game when the event just started the other day?

Allez Dupont!

France lost the gold medal in rugby during the 1924 Paris Olympics. This victory was literally one hundred years in the making

Fiji basically surrendered to France in the 2nd half....

I don't even follow or like Rugby much, and I was on the edge of my seat and in awe of this man who comes in, touches the ball once and runs down the length of the pitch to then selflessly pass to his teammate to score. I mean, how is this even possible? And then on the next one, he just passes the ball to himself and into play and dashes past a sleepy and stunned Fijian defense. The last one is just adding insult to injury, you couldn't even see it coming - and the Fijians sure didn't. Amazing. Congratulations on this Gold medal to the team - well deserved.

As a newcomer to rugby im shocked that Fiji is even a top team nevermind defending champion. Thats wild in itself

I'm an American and I love this underdog story...simply beautiful
Congrats to the Rugby Team and to France

Congratulations France on your gold medal victory 🏅

7s isnt real rugby anyway. Its mostly soccer at that point.

Real men's contact sport minus all the mice paddings 👍

@NBC Sports— STOP putting the results in the video title.

Hat's off to the French boys who I beleive are true champions on that final and had no part whatsoever of the maniacal, cold and calculated stupidness of the French welcoming ceremony putting the LAST SUPPER on a pedestal of mockery. Shame on the organizers and the govt for allowing such mocking to happen on that stage. Theres always a judgement to those who mock God .
While France Govt had been mocking God team Fiji had been praising God through their singing in their olympic hotel rooms .
Thank you Fiji for standing for Christ . Your a true warrior of the Lord. You represent the Olympians standing for the very core of our faith " Christ" .

I only they beat the no.1 team they smashed them

✝️”skies of Paris “🙄

Could you please not give away who won in the video title?

Wow, congratulations France on winning your gold medal 🥇🥇

WOW!!! Congratulations for France by the way of his deceased Dominican Father Jefferson Joseph is Mr Jefferson Lee Joseph ‼️🫂🎉🎊💯

Stat padding. His teammates pushed him in and the game was already over. Other time he scored he was in front and nobody blocking him

Wonderful win by France! Why was rugby not an Olympic sport for 100 years? Mad. Its so entertaining.

Dayam. But then again, it’s France . I’ve always know France to be a Top Team

Nothing against France but, as a New Zealander, I will always want Fiji to win, unless they play NZ.

Thanks Dupont.

Can someone tell me the population of Fiji compared to France’s ?

We need better announcers please! Boring announcers make boring rugby!!

Hey NBC- thanks so much for the spoiler in the YT title.
Much appreciated... sarc.

man their breed straight lads out there in the pacific. all rugby powerhouses
