Faf happy to shape up against Dupont but insists focus is on entire French side
- Springbok halfback Faf de Klerk warmly welcomed the news of his crackerjack French opponent Antoine du Point potentially playing in Sunday’s crunch quarter-final at the Stade de France.
Dupont has been on the sidelines after a 21 September head clash with Namibian centre Johan Deysel, which not only saw him miss the rest of the pool stages with a fractured cheekbone but also placed him in danger of missing out on the playoffs. Dupont underwent surgery and resumed training, from where he was cleared on Monday by his surgeon in what can only be interpreted as a desperate act to get their best player and captain fit for what is easily their biggest home game since the 2007 Rugby World Cup semi-final against England.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
