On September 8, Antoine Dupont and his band face the All Blacks at the opening of “their” World Cup. And two months ahead of this opening match awaited by all lovers of the oval ball, we are starting to know a little more about the opening ceremony which will precede this first meeting.
The organizers have announced that actor Jean Dujardin, Oscar winner for his role in The Artist, will be in charge of the opening ceremony. A great rugby fan, the French actor had also visited the Blues in Marcoussis in November 2021, at the invitation of coach Fabien Galthié.
