The captain of the French team Antoine Dupont, victim of a maxillo-zygomatic fracture Thursday evening during the match against Namibia (96-0), was finally treated urgently in Toulouse.
The FFR communicated this morning: “Following his injury contracted during the France – Namibia match, Antoine Dupont was operated on on September 22 around 11 p.m. (11:30 p.m. exactly) at the Purpan University Hospital in Toulouse. In a few days, he will be able to return to the French team in a process of gradual return to sport under medical supervision. »
It was decided to put a plate on him to consolidate his cheekbone. The Blues scrum half will have to observe a week of rest before a smooth return to activity. His return is hoped for the quarter-final (October 14 or 15).
