France’s big man Danty ruled out against the All Blacks

The center from La Rochelle is ruled out for the match against the All Blacks in the opening game of the World Cup. Suffering from a hamstring injury, according to L’Équipe, he will miss the crucial starting match for the French team.

A starter in the last three preparatory matches, Danty had already missed the start of the Six Nations Tournament in 2023. At that time, Yoram Moefana had taken his place. The UBB player could then take his spot against New Zealand.

This is obviously a major blow for France to lose a key, in-form player in their game plan. A real powerhouse and fulcrum of the attack, the French have been efficient with him in a manner observed against the Wallabies.
