France scrum-half and captain Antoine Dupont is set to miss the remainder of the upcoming Nations Championship matches, the French rugby federation announces. Dupont is already unavailable for France’s first Nations Championship game against New Zealand on July 4. The federation now says he will also not feature in the subsequent fixtures against Australia on July 11 and against Japan one week later.

Neither source provides additional context on the reason for his absence, focusing instead on the confirmed match schedule and his unavailability. As a result, France will have to plan for his absence for the full stretch of Nations Championship games mentioned, including the matchups against New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.
