Toulouse duo use trophy to ride the waves

playmakers Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack took their title celebrations to the beach this week, attempting to use the famous Bouclier de Brennus trophy as a skimboard.

In past seasons, victorious French teams have been seen sliding on the Bouclier de Brennus in their changing rooms.

But the French halfbacks turned on the style in a video on social media with first Dupont sliding the Bouclier de Brennus out in front of him before jumping on it and riding the ensuing wave.

Then it was the turn of Ntamack, as he joined Dupont in attempting to ride the surf. Ntamack was the hero for Toulouse against  last Saturday night as he scored a 60-metre wonder try to secure a 29-26 success in the Top 14 final.

La Rochelle looked on course to seal a first title as they led 26-22 in the closing five minutes of the match before Ntamack raced over.
