Superstar Dupont to miss France versus Springboks
NEWS: France captain Antoine Dupont has opened up on his injury.
The superstar revealed in an interview published on Tuesday that he aims to return to the playing field after his country’s November Tests.
The 28-year-old suffered a serious knee injury during a Six Nations match against Ireland on March 8.
The scrumhalf has already missed the team’s July series against New Zealand and will also be sidelined for games against World Cup winners South Africa, Fiji and Australia.
“We’ll be eight months on from my injury,” the Toulouse scrumhalf told French newspaper L’Equipe.
“I think it’s a reasonable amount of time. I hope everything will go well between now and then.
“I’m not sure it would be very intelligent to rush, even if it’s hard to miss international games.”
France will face the Springboks on November 8.
