“French scrum half Antoine Dupont filed an appeal following the hearing on Tuesday November 16, 2022, during which he was sanctioned”, and the “appeal relates to the duration of the suspension”, informs Autumn Nations Series.

Antoine Dupont "will attend the appeal hearing before an independent committee", specifies the body.

The Toulousain had been excluded for having destabilized in the air the South African winger Cheslin Kolbe.

A fault punishable in theory by eight weeks of suspension, but reduced by half because of his clean record and his excuses.
