Speaking following Frances big Six Nations win vs Ireland, head coach Fabien Galthie said ruck clear-out which caused injury to Antoine Dupont was reprehensible, calling for Tadhg Beirne, Andrew Porter to be cited: we are angry;
France head coach Fabien Galthie has reacted furiously to a potentially serious injury for his captain Antoine Dupont, following his side's 42-27 win against Ireland at Aviva Stadium.
Fabien Galthié: ‘We feel bad for Dupont. In terms of the action, in my opinion it was reprehensible’
In the end, they didn’t need either Dupont or Barassi to see it out. France saw Ireland’s good start to the second half and raised it a level. Their 7/1 split was a risk and it looked dicey at times, particularly with the injuries. But the bench did its job, as Alldritt acknowledged.
Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter have avoided disciplinary action despite France head coach Fabien Galthié launching a withering attack on “reprehensible” Irish behaviour after Saturday’s match.
France captain Antoine Dupont has confirmed on social media that he ruptured cruciate ligaments in his knee during the win over Ireland on Saturday. The scrum half was forced off in the first-half after Tadhg Beirne fell awkwardly on his leg at a ruck.
