France yet to put timeline on possible World Cup returnBaptiste Couilloud and Maxime Lucu in line to step in
The France captain, Antoine Dupont, has undergone surgery on a facial injury and will return to their Rugby World Cup squad to recover, the French federation (FFR) said on Saturday, though it gave no timeline for when the scrum-half might return to the field.
The 26-year-old sustained the injury in Thursday’s 96-0 record win against Namibia in a head-to-head clash with opposing captain, Johan Deysel, whose initial yellow card was upgraded to a red.
