That’s a massive loss and almost irreplaceable players.

Well, it was a risk to play so many first choices.
I don’t know how bad either of them are, but DuPont was taken straight to hospital.
Crazy to start Dupont at this stage against Namibia. That’s a worse blow than losing Marx.
This also changes the stakes for Ireland match, without Dupont and possibly Ramos I’d rather play France than an embarrassed AB team in the quarters.
What I've been saying for a while...
ABs prefer to play us rather than the Irish in the Qters ............ or so said some notable pundits in MiddleEarth.
Well, give France a weapon and they'll aim it at their own feet.
Damn this universe is indifferent.
Man that's massive. Probably the best rugby player in the world right now.
How stupid to play him against Namibia what’s the point
I don't mind if he's sitting in the grandstand with Marx.
Reports suggesting he won't require surgery but will be out till the semi finals if France make it that far.
We can lend them one of our scrummies.
Looks like the injury was worse than initially reported and he's probably out of the World Cup now.
My sister’s dentist broke her jaw in April, she’s still not fit to play Rugby !! 
Johan Deysel is the person who injured him. For a moment, I thought it that person playing at a very old age- the person who inspired the Creatine Twins, but it turns out it is a different Deysel.
How dumb can this Deysel be….taking out the French captain and best player at the RWC with the one infraction that’s in the spotlight. This man better not be walking up in dark alleys in Paris.
Apparently Deysel has been threatened on social media
Very SA sounding name that, paper bag of money exchanged?
Settle down just joking OK
He might be better to pack his stuff and catch the first flight out of France.
France has lost their x2 key players: Scrumhalf and flyhalf.... Not to mention some of their other best players.
Injuries may completely derail their world cup campaign, which is unfortunate. It is good seeing France playing rugby like they used to again.
Certainly takes a lot away from the tournament, if they take the trophy it will be something special.
Holy shit...I see it's an orbital fracture.
Nobody wants to break any bones but I'd rather break both arms and few ribs before an orbital.
Feel for the chap.
I hope they're not stupid enough to try and rush him back.
Latest is that he'll be joining the team and that there's no need for a replacement
Last I heard was 4 to 6 weeks so possibly back for semi final?
He needs the Victor Matfield mummy arm wrapping to be the real deal though!
@Mozart, have you seen this?
It uses Open AI to generate images
This is an example
I’ll give it a go….thanks for the steer
Cool stuff but I can’t get it to post
I read Dupont may play in a molded mask, is this what these images are about?
@Moz,
If you right-click on the image (in any web browser), and select copy.
Then paste it here.
@Pakie, yes it appears he will be in a moulded mask, should have tried that with the image AI
That's great Sharkbok.
This is Baboon-ou (crybaby wearing pink tights crying because of a rugby referee) . . .
Changed the word "crybaby" to "baboon" . . .
Here's "pompous mozart" . . .
This barbaric act by the Namibian captain has put a damper on the RWC. I'm sure, we all admire Antoine Dupont and were looking forward to see him at his best.
Reminds of what Stander did to Patrick Lambie and ruined his career.

Moffie, for some reason you have the word "blob" at the start of your http URL address. We can't see your image.
When using the image function, copy the address of the image you want to put up and paste it into the URL box, overwriting everything that is already there. Then just hit submit (once).
Apologies, I don’t do much with photos. I went onto an image hosting site. Hopefully the real Mozart is now visible.
Mozart would never have been brave enough to play Rugby
At 5’4” perhaps a little small for today’s packs. More of an inside centre.
Ha ha ha ! He’s tall enough to play on the wing for SA 
We only pick those small wings in pairs…..Mozart and Beethoven?
Very likely, Mozart

Looks like he’s suffered a fractured jaw in the match against Namibia tonight.
Ramos looked to have a knee injury as well.
Expensive night potentially for France….
