The Antoine Dupont red card was absolutely mental.
France extended their impressive winning run to 12 games when they tamed South Africa 30-26 at the Stade Vélodrome in arguably the game of the Autumn Nations Series so far.
The hosts had the scrum-half Antoine Dupont sent off in the second half after the world champions had been reduced to 14 men following Pieter-Steph du Toit’s early headhunt.
The commentator said: “Antoine Dupont. French rugby’s greatest talent, the golden child of Stade Velodrome is ordered from the field and it’s 14-a-piece for the last half hour.
“And France have now been shorn of their skipper. But the most important thing, as Dupont receives a thunderous ovation from the Velodrome crowd, is to make sure that Cheslin Kolbe is okay.”
