The ax fell on Monday morning. Hard, violent. Romain Ntamack is forfeited for the Rugby World Cup in France (September 8-October 28) after suffering a left knee injury during the preparation match won on Saturday evening in Saint-Étienne against Scotland (30- 27).
It was on social networks that the Toulouse opener delivered his first reaction. Short, concise, no frills. “I’ll be back,” he said, with two photos of him, one in the tricolor jersey, the other in the Toulouse jersey. The son of Émile Ntamack is therefore already planning his return even if he will have to follow the course of his friends from the XV of France on television this fall.
“The whole stadium is behind you”, replied his club in the Ville Rose as the messages of support multiplied on social networks in the wake of the announcement of his package, which was confirmed by the French Federation. of rugby.
“The imaging performed this (Monday) morning diagnosed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, writes the FFR in a press release. As a result, Romain Ntamack will be forfeited for the World Cup. »
Framework and indisputable holder of this team of France, the opening half of the Toulouse Stadium leaves a big void even if valuable options exist to replace him, starting with the Bordeaux opener Matthieu Jalibert, that of La Rochelle Antoine Hastoy or the back of Toulouse Thomas Ramos, also able to evolve at the opening and who therefore has the advantage of playing in a club with scrum half and captain Antoine Dupont.
