Colin Dupuy

Colin Dupuy is a 19-year-old French scrum-half with Castres Olympique in the Top 14. Born on 25 June 2006, he is among the younger members of the Castres squad and a product of the club's academy structure. His current focus is on acclimatising to the demands of the Top 14, where French scrum-halves are required to combine sharp delivery with tactical kicking, defensive work around the ruck, and the ability to manage forward-led game plans. Castres has long had a reputation for developing half-backs through its academy, and Dupuy's progression sits within that pathway. Building competitive minutes behind the established nines at the club is the next step in his transition from academy prospect to senior Top 14 contributor. The French domestic game places particular weight on game management at scrum-half, and the experience of training and competing in that environment is central to Dupuy's development as he works toward consistent senior involvement.
