Last year, France were left “angry” after captain and star player Antoine Dupont sustained a “serious” knee injury against Ireland. <\/p>\n

Dupont, 28, was forced off in the first half of France’s dominant 42-27 win over holders Ireland.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ireland second row Tadhg Beirne fell on Dupont’s leg at a ruck and the scrum-half was helped off the pitch in Dublin after receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

Galthie said there was “anger” in the French camp over the incident, which was not referred to the television match official (TMO) during the game.<\/p>\n

Both Dupont and Gregory Alldritt, who took over as French captain, were heard questioning referee Angus Gardner over a possible review of the incident.<\/p>\n

Galthie said Dupont was “suffering” and that he has referred Ireland pair Beirne and Andrew Porter to the citing commissioner for possible retrospective punishment.<\/p>\n

Dupont was attempting to steal the ball in the 28th minute and was challenged by Beirne, who then fell on to the scrum-half’s right leg as Irish prop Porter joined the ruck.<\/p>\n

“We named the players [who made contact with Dupont], Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter, who should appear before the disciplinary commission,” Galthie added.<\/p>\n

“We want explanations, so we’ve named two players. We have to protect our players. There are means, there are rules. There is some kind of anger.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Postpublished at 09:54 GMT 09:54 GMT France v Ireland (Thu, 20:10 GMT) Image source, Getty Images Last year,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119169,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-271663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
