Last Sunday, the Union Barbezieux-Jonzac (Charente) hopefuls’ match was definitively stopped after the serious injury of young third row Gontran Bisserier. The latter was tackled by a Mauléon player before his head hit the ground violently. Inert on the pitch, Rugbyrama indicates that the player was convulsing.

The firefighters immediately took care of the young man before a helicopter transported him to Poitiers University Hospital where he was operated on. His condition was considered “worrying” by doctors and he had been plunged into a coma. This Wednesday, international rugby player Antoine Dupont published a photo of Gontran Bisserier on Instagram to support him.
