Antoine Dupont returns for Top 14 semi‑final; Racing 92 hit by injuries

Antoine Dupont Racing 92 injuries Top 14 semi-final Marseille Vélodrome future host cities

Stade Toulousain manager Ugo Mola confirmed that captain Antoine Dupont will play in the Top 14 semi‑final against Racing 92 at the Vélodrome in Marseille. Mola noted the intense media scrutiny of Dupont but affirmed his readiness for the decisive match.

Racing 92 qualified for the semi‑final after a 33‑31 win over Pau, but will be without wing Wilfried Hulleu (shoulder injury) and centre Vinaya Habosi (knee injury), alongside several other absentees. The team will rely on Nathan Hughes and the remaining back‑line to face a fully fit Toulouse side.

The Ligue Nationale de Rugby also announced future host cities for the Top 14 semi‑finals: Lyon in 2028, Lille in 2029, and a return to Marseille in 2030, with plans to move the 2031 semi‑finals to Barcelona’s Camp Nou once the stadium is ready.
