Galthié fears serious injury for Dupont after match

France's head coach Fabien Galthié expressed concern over a possible serious knee injury to star player Antoine Dupont, who left the match against Ireland in the 30th minute. Dupont was injured during a tackle involving Tadhg Beirne. Galthié criticized the incident as "reprehensible" and noted that two players, Beirne and Calvin Nash, were cited for their actions during the game.
