France's Rugby Triumph Overshadowed by Antoine Dupont's Season-Ending Injury

The French team defeated Ireland 42-27 in a historic Six Nations victory but lost their captain to a severe knee injury.

The French rugby team delivered a commanding performance against Ireland in Dublin, securing a 42-27 victory and keeping their hopes alive for the Six Nations title.
Antoine Dupont, France's captain and a key player, suffered a ruptured ACL in his knee during the game, ruling him out for several months.
Despite France's official complaints, the three Irish players involved in the actions leading to Dupont's and Pierre-Louis Barassi's injuries will not face disciplinary sanctions.
Maxime Lucu is expected to take over as the starting scrum-half for France, with additional call-ups made to replace the injured players ahead of the decisive match against Scotland.
France now controls its destiny in the Six Nations and must beat Scotland in their final game to secure the tournament title, with various scenarios depending on bonus points and other teams' results.
