France beat Namibia 96-0 !! 14 tires , but a head on head clash forced Dupont off. Just my luck, if they lose him for the knockouts, I can't see them winning the trophy

Fractured cheekbone!

I had France -66, easiest money I have ever won!

Great game in prospect today. I can see Samoa actually beating the Aussies, wouldnt that be lovely. I have backed them with a 13 point start but hope it is a lot easier than that.
 
Felt a bit sorry for Namibia last night, yes France were good but they were lambs to the slaughter..... World Rugby needs to be doing more for tier 2 and 3 sides, getting them involved in playing the better sides more often so they can improve their standards and give a better account of themselves... these 1 sided mismatches do nowt for the tournament

DuPont, probably the most influential player in the tournament, fractures his cheekbone playing against Namibia, a game he could easily have been rested for. Especially as it happened in the second half and France were already 54-0 up.

Massive blow for France if he misses the rest of the tournament. And a real shame for the tournament he’s properly exciting to watch play.
