Antoine Dupont is on everyone’s lips. Affected this Thursday evening against Namibia, the French captain should miss the next matches of the French XV, and perhaps even the end of the competition. According to our information, he was operated on this Friday.
In the meantime, the scrum half from Stade Toulousain invites himself everywhere, and even at the press conference before the Georgia-Portugal match. “I love watching Dupont play,” said Georgia assistant coach Joe Worsley. I’m unfortunate that he got injured. If he doesn’t play in the competition again, it’s sad, because every time he’s on the pitch, it’s more interesting and pleasant to watch. He risks missing a lot of matches. I hope he can play again in the semi-finals, we’ll see. The French team has a lot of injured people, but it’s really very hard.”
