France’s players have dedicated their victorious Six Nations campaign to their captain Antoine Dupont, who missed their triumph over Scotland in Paris on Saturday due to injury. Les Bleus only needed a victory over the Scots to claim their first Championship victory since 2022 and they did it in style courtesy of a deserved 35-16 triumph at the Stade de France.

France rugby star Antoine Dupont says he ruptured cruciate ligaments in his right knee during his team’s win over Ireland in the Six Nations and will miss the final round of the tournament.

France captain Antoine Dupont said today he would be out of action for “a few months” after announcing that he had torn the cruciate ligaments in his right knee in the Six Nations victory over Ireland.
