Big loss for them. He’ll be out a good while with a ruptured ACL.

True, but Dupont would be a far bigger loss, I think they can work around Ntamack, particularly with Ramos as the kicker

Of all the teams to lose a flyhalf, we've been hit the hardest. We are now taking Earl Rose to the World Cup.

Yes Dupont is irreplaceable
The French will feel the absence of Ntamack though - he is pure class

I forgot about Antoine Hastoy. This 10 has got everything to …very good playmaker, dangerous runner and solid kicker.…Thomas Ramos is the Kicker but can fill in at 10 to.

They have decent back up, but they’ll still miss him.

Yes they Will ….Du Pont and Ntamack are the best 9/10 Combo in World Rugby…..they read each other Almost Perfect….Ntamack,s skill level makes him a Dangerous Player.
