Dupont commands $2.4m annually yet never plays in Australia or New Zealand

French rugby star Antoine Dupont, the world's highest-paid player at A$2.4 million annually, has never played in Australia or New Zealand despite a 64-Test career. A potential July appearance against the Wallabies in Brisbane remains uncertain due to French club protectionism that shields top players from burnout during their domestic season. The new Nations Championship could alter this dynamic.
