After the Blues’ big victory against Namibia (96-0), concern reigns around the state of health of captain Antoine Dupont, who was released in the 46th minute on Thursday.
The French XV lived up to expectations against Namibia (96-0), Thursday September 21, but perhaps lost one of its greatest leaders. Involved in the majority of the tries, Antoine Dupont was forced to come off in the 46th minute after a big foul, in the face, by the Namibian captain, Johan Deysel. Coach Fabien Galthié expressed concern at the microphone of France Télévisions at the end of the meeting.
“We has a suspicion of crack, fracture on the maxilla (jaw bone), confided the technician. OWe’re going to wait for the exams to move forward.” After the serious injury to Romain Ntamack (cruciate ligaments), the French XV could lose its second major player. It would be a real blow for the collective to lose the best player in the world in 2021.
