Video. Rugby World Cup 2023 – “It seems possible to me to play with a mask” says Grisoli, former doctor of the French XV

Hit in the right cheekbone during the France – Namibia match, Antoine Dupont begins a race against the clock to return as quickly as possible. Jean-Baptiste Grisoli, former doctor of the XV of France, believes that the captain of the Blues could wear a protective mask.

After the shock, motivation. Injured right cheekbone, Antoine Dupont today begins a frantic race to return as quickly as possible with the XV of France. As a reminder, the Blues will play against Italy (October 6) before probably playing a quarter-final on the weekend of October 14 and 15. While Dupont’s unavailability time is not yet known, Jean-Baptiste Grisoli believes that the captain of the Blues could play with a mask, even if World Rugby prohibits the use of the latter.

The former doctor of the XV of France (2011-2015) explains that an exemption could be considered, depending on the materials and shape of the mask. Before Dupont, Imanol Harinordoquy had already covered his face during a European Cup semi-final against Munster in 2010. Several American basketball players also used a mask.
