In a post-match press conference, the Toulouse captain indicated that he was suffering from a sprained thumb. “I’m trying to treat her as soon as possible.”
For Stade Toulousain, all the lights are green… or almost. Despite the slap inflicted on the English of Exeter this Sunday evening (21-64), the reigning French and European champion must deal with the injury of Antoine Dupont, injured in the thumb of his left hand.
“I have a sprained thumb. Nothing bad, but I try to treat it as soon as possible so as not to have too much damage”indicated the scrum half in the post-match conference, in comments reported by our colleagues from Rugby Rama .

“It’s more boring than bad, we’ll say”he continued, he who kept an ice cube on his left thumb after the meeting. Still the author of a full match punctuated by a try, Dupont did not seem worried. Stade Toulousain will face Lyon this Sunday, December 22 (9:05 p.m.). With or without Dupont? Response in the coming days.
The captain of Stade Toulousain also regretted, during this press conference, having been targeted by the English players at the start of the match without the Irish referee sanctioning these delayed tackles. “I don’t understand why this isn’t punished more. It can only be dangerous and against the spirit of the game to tackle a player late. It happened to me four or five times in the first half. Afterwards, I take risks, I also know that I have a game where I carry the ball but, once I have made the pass, they do not have the right to send me back or keep me on the ground. These are prohibited strategies. I hope this will be more sanctioned in the future…»
