Unlike Antoine Dupont, Johan Deysel is determined regarding the rest of his World Cup. Unsurprisingly it is over for the captain of Namibia. He received a six-match suspension this Tuesday following causing the maxillo-zygomatic fracture of the best player in the world, during the beating received by his selection once morest the XV of France last Thursday in Marseille (96-0).

This sanction can be reduced to five matches if the former Colomiers center (Pro D2) follows the tackling training program offered by World Rugby. Deysel will therefore miss the last appearance of the Welwitschias, already eliminated, in this World Cup, Wednesday in Lyon once morest Uruguay.

After his dangerous gesture which occurred in the 43rd minute of the match, Deysel received a red card following passing through the “bunker”. Dupont had to be replaced, then operated on Friday in Toulouse. Even if his return, with a suitable mask, is hoped for the quarter-finals, on October 14 or 15, nothing is yet certain regarding the captain of the Blues.

And MEA culpa saving

The Namibian received numerous insulting messages on social networks following the match. He quickly apologized to Dupont, and admitted this Tuesday before an independent disciplinary commission that he deserved his expulsion. This allowed him to obtain a sanction reduced by half, since without this my faulta, he would have been suspended 12 games.
