Antoine Dupont, the France captain, said after the 28-29 defeat: ‘I am not sure the level of refereeing was up to what was at stake’
Last modified on Mon 16 Oct 2023 16.53 CEST“There’s a lot of disappointment and frustration,” said the France captain. “When we watch the match again, there are probably things that will make us even more frustrated.“I don’t want to be a bad loser and moan about the refereeing. But I am not sure the level of refereeing was up to what was at stake today … that doesn’t take anything away from the South Africans. They played a great game.
Of the physical battle in an attritional match at Stade de France, Galthié said: “We were equal to them. Other times South Africa were on top. But really I felt we matched them. I haven’t got the data in front of me, but the feeling I had is that we very much matched the South Africans.”
