The defeat of the XV of France, Sunday in Scotland (28-17), extinguished the dream of a Grand Slam of the Blues during this tournament of the VI Nations. It also made unhappy on the side of Stade Toulousain. The champion club of France will be deprived of Antoine Dupont for "six weeks approximately", according to Jérôme Cazalbou, his manager of high level.
The 23-year-old scrum half came out at the very end of the match in Edinburgh, victim "of an acromioclavicular trauma of the left shoulder", indicates Cazalbou. Suffice to say that, unless there is a miracle, the quarter-final of the European Cup scheduled for April 5 against the Irish from Ulster will be disputed without the indisputable number 1 of the Toulouse numbers 9. Released definitively for a concussion from the eighth minute in Scotland, the opener Romain Ntamack should be restored by then.
We will hang on, (heal) and come back strong for the last straight line of the season 🚧 👊🏻 Thank you all for the messages 🙌🏻 @francerugby #NeFaisonsXV pic.twitter.com/uQIO9FIh2Y
