France's Dupont may have serious knee injury
bbc.com —
France's head coach Fabien Galthie is concerned that captain Antoine Dupont has a serious knee injury. Dupont was injured during the Six Nations match against Ireland and had to leave the game in the first half. Dupont was hurt when Ireland's Tadhg Beirne fell on his leg during a ruck. Galthie mentioned that the incident was not reviewed by the referee, leading to frustration in the French camp. He has named Beirne and Andrew Porter for a disciplinary review. Ireland's interim coach Simon Easterby described the injury as an unfortunate rugby incident. He stated that it was not a deliberate act and emphasized that such injuries can occur during play.
