French coach leader Fabien Gallthie has labeled Irish cleaning in Antoine Dupont who caused a “serious knee injury” as “reprimand”, demanding that Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter be quoted.
Captain of France and Talisman Dupont left in the first half of Saturday 42-27 victory of six nations to Ireland In Dublin, with Judge Angus Gardner who rules the cause of injury as an unfortunate incident for Rugby, and not the wrong game.
In the repetitions, the Dupon’s leg seems to be inadvertently trapped in a missile like Beirne – with porter in close participation – enter to remove it as a threat of decay.
Galthie was extremely strong for the post -match incident, and believes that both players have to be quoted and suspended.
“We felt bad about Antoine Dupont. In Act (Ruck Clear-Out), which is in my reproachable opinion, there are ways to study and watch this act. We felt very bad for him. He is suffering, we are suffering with it,” said Galthie France 2 in full time.
Galthie added to his post -match press conference: “For Antoine, there is a doubt about a very serious knee injury. I will not go to detail due to medical confidentiality, but Antoine is suffering.
“We have recommended that the players appear before the disciplinary committee of six nations: Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter. Calvin Nash is also recommended for Pierre-Louis Barassi because he did not respond favorably to the HIA protocol.
“Our players did not return to the field. We would like to understand why. On this matter, we are angry.
DUPONT was transported from the playing field only in the 28th minute
“We want to protect our players, there are rules. The quotation commissioner must study actions and decide whether they are reprimanded or not. Neither Antoine nor Pierre-Louis returned to the field. One for a clear, the other for a contact (head).
“When Antoine Dupont has to go, we bring Max Lucu, in which we have full confidence. He was fantastic. He took control of the game and made a very, very high return. I’m very happy for Max.”

France back in front of François Cros told the media …
“It is never easy to see a teammate offshore, especially Antoine. We will wait for medical results, but in half the time he was really fighting.
“This gave us even more motivation. We also wanted to win for him, to make sure everything he gave in the field was not in vain.
“We are super proud to give him this great victory today.”
Easterby: Nothing illegal in cleaning Beirne from Dupont – one of those things that happens unfortunately
Irish temporary coach Simon Easterby told the media at his press conference after the match …
“I think it’s just a rugby incident where Tadhg (Beirne) cleans someone in front of Antoine Dupont and it is hit in the back of this. It happens, unfortunately.
“The players have a real awareness now to clean in the lower limb of the player, which can create that kind of injury, but it wasn’t.
Irish temporary coach Simon Easterby said he does not think the incident was the wrong game
“He was securing his ball and was not making contacts in Dupont. Just one of those things unfortunately. It happens in the game.”
