"Tadhg is actually a thoroughly clean player and would not wish any undesirable intent on any individual. The only thing is, It's not at all a terrific picture.
"There's a great deal of energy coming into that ruck and it appears even worse than it can be. No-one particular wishes to see him [Dupont] out of the sport as he is the best participant on the planet."
Dupont, who was changed by Maxime Lucu, presented seven helps and scored two attempts in advance of his tournament was Slash limited.
