Some French media say that Dupont may have a possible orbital floor fracture. Nothing confirmed, obviously.
Hopefully he missed a serious rimming injury ..
Does your tongue still hurt?

I know both players involved it is irrelevant given neither will play for weeks, but given the heavy head contacts do both go through the HIA protocols still?
Seems a bit of a hole in the protocols you see often, with a card given for a head contact yet neither are taken off straight away, sometimes minutes can pass before 1 might go, if at all.

On Dupont they are apparently aiming for 28 October.
So the day
beforeof the final, right? -
If there was one player who needed to be wrapped in cotton wool til the quarters it was this guy. I’m predicting he’s back with a Harry Kane mask for the knockout stages though. Think about it: If nobody touches his face then great. If anybody taps him in the mush they’ll get red carded and France will roll them.

Farrell could learn from this.
Owen? Nah.

Namibia’s Johan Deysel attended an independent Disciplinary Committee hearing for an offence contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous tackle) as a result of a review by the Foul Play Review Official in Namibia’s Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool A match against France on 21 September.
The independent Disciplinary Committee was chaired by Adam Casselden SC (Australia), joined by former international referees Donal Courtney (Ireland) and Juan Pablo Spirandelli (Argentina).
The player accepted that foul play had occurred and that the offence warranted a red card.
Having considered all the available evidence, the submissions by the player and his representative, the independent Committee categorised the act of foul play as being at the top end of the scale of seriousness of offending, having regard to the degree of recklessness involved in the offending, the vulnerability of the victim player and the significant injury to him. Applying Appendix 1 to Regulation 17, the independent Committee determined that the applicable entry point is 12 matches.
Having considered the mitigating factors, including admission of foul play and correctness of the red card at the first opportunity, his disciplinary record and apology to the player, the independent Committee reduced the sanction by the maximum mitigation of 50 per cent. The final sanction of six matches is to be applied as follows:
-
Uruguay v Namibia – 27 September
-
Subsequent playing schedule to be determined*
*The player intends to apply to take part in the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme to substitute the final match of the sanction for a coaching intervention aimed at modifying specific techniques and technical issues that contributed to the foul play subject to successful completion.

Tough to disagree, he had a good line of sight, never got low enough to be in a position to make a legal tackle. Absolutely the sort of tackle that should be punished
Whilst you’re right it does bring into question Farrell only getting 4 games.
