Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack returned to the France lineup for the team's Nations Championship match against Fiji on Saturday, according to Le Monde.fr. The match was covered live by the outlet.
Ntamack's comeback did not last. L'Équipe reports that he came off injured after taking a knock to his left shoulder. Sud Ouest, also covering the game live, said France had built a lead on the scoreboard but lost Ntamack to injury.
The returns of Dupont and Ntamack had been the headline team news ahead of kick-off, with both players back in the side for the Nations Championship fixture. Le Monde.fr framed the match around their reappearance.
Further details on the severity of Ntamack's shoulder problem were not available in the reporting. France's medical staff will assess the injury, and his availability for the team's next fixture is the immediate question.
