The scrum half and captain of the XV of France has therefore appealed the duration of his four-week suspension after his red card received against South Africa (30-26) on November 12 in Marseille, said Saturday l organizer of the autumn tests.
“French scrum-half Antoine Dupont filed an appeal following the hearing on Tuesday November 16, 2022, during which he was sanctioned”, and the “appeal concerns the duration of the suspension”, indicated Autumn Nations Series.
An already lenient sentence
Antoine Dupont “will attend the appeal hearing before an independent committee”, also specified the body.
The Toulousain had been excluded for having destabilized in the air the South African winger Cheslin Kolbe.
