“Rupture of cross ligaments. This is the beginning of a new challenge, see you in a few months on the field.”
France was angry about the incident that caused injuries and intended to send Irish couple Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter to a commissioner who quoted a possible retrospective punishment.
Les Bleus kept a narrow lead of 8-6 in space before falling asleep their Guinness title Six Nations – after restarting – to move to Pole position For the fame of the championship with a crushed 42-27 victory.
French coach Fabien Galthie marked Irish clean on Dupont as a “humiliating”, calling for a second -class ciiric and Prop Porter.
Talisman Dupont flew in the first half, and Judge Angus Gardner ruled the cause of the injury as an unhappy rugby incident, and thus not corrupt.

Gashthie added at her press conference after the match: “Antoine is suspected of a rather serious knee injury. I will not go into detail due to medical confidence, but Antoine suffers.
“We recommended the players to appear before the disciplinary committee of Six Nations: Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter. Calvin Nash was also recommended for Pierre-Louis Barassi (High Tackle) because he did not respond to HIA Protocol.
“Our players did not return to the field. We would like to understand why. We are angry in that issue.
“We want to protect our players, there are rules. The commissioner who quotes the actions and decide whether they are reproachful or not. Neither Antoine nor Pierre-Louis returned to the field. One for a clear, other for the head.
“When Antoine Dupont has to put out, we bring Max Lucua, into which we have completely confidence. He was fantastic. He took control of the game and made very, very high levels. I’m very happy about Max.”
