France make bold call and move Antoine Dupont to outhalf for Springboks clash on Friday night

France have come up with ‌a novel way of solving their injury problem at outhalf by switching their inspirational scrumhalf Antoine Dupont into the role in a huge call for ‌their clash against South Africa in the Nations Championship on Friday night (8.10pm, live on Virgin Media & ITV).

The former World Player of the Year will replace Romain Ntamack, who dislocated his left ​shoulder in the first half of last weekend’s victory over Fiji in Lyon, with Maxime Lucu taking Dupont’s place at scrumhalf.
