Rugby World Cup: Ribbans previews England v Chile<\/h3>\n

France captain and Rugby World Cup star Antoine Dupont was the sole worry for his side during their mammoth 96-0 victory over Namibia on Thursday, as the scrum-half was reportedly taken to hospital after being forced off through injury. Dupont put on a show in the first half, but a head-to-head hit ended his evening prematurely.<\/p>\n

French outlet RMC Sport have claimed that Dupont has been taken to hospital to undergo tests over a suspected concussion and orbital floor fracture in worrying news for the host nation.<\/p>\n

Namibia thought that they had gotten on the scoreboard just after half-time. Dupont was on the receiving end of a head-to-head hit and two passes later the opposition went over for a try.<\/p>\n

But Johan Deysel’s dangerous tackle saw him sent to the bunker to have the tackle reviewed, where it was upgraded from yellow to red as boos rang around the Stade Velodrome in disapproval as TMO showed replays of the challenge.<\/p>\n

Dupont walked off the pitch for his HIA after receiving treatment on the pitch, leaving the field with a worried look. The entire country will be holding their breath that he is able to return to action before the end of the tournament.<\/p>\n

He does have the opportunity to wait over three weeks before he is next required to play as France are on course to top Pool A and their quarter-final, against the runner-up from Pool B, would take place on Sunday, October 15.<\/p>\n

France are already without Dupont’s halfback partner Romain Ntamack, who was ruled out on the eve of the tournament after undergoing surgery on his knee.<\/p>\n

But there will be questions raised over why France’s creator-in-chief was still on the pitch for their rout of Namibia, as he could have been rested while the bonus point had already been secured and there would be no concerns over his status for the remainder of the tournament.<\/p>\n

His injury was the sole worry in France’s biggest-ever World Cup win, as Damian Penaud claimed a hat-trick and his team-mates added a further 11 tries having taken 13 points from their opening three games.<\/p>\n
