Les Bleus captain Dupont faces a lengthy spell out after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during his country’s 42-27 Six Nations win in Dublin on Saturday.

France were furious with the incident which caused the injury, with Galthie branding it “reprehensible” as he announced his intention to refer Porter and Tadhg Beirne to the citing commissioner.
