It's all about the fashion as the Springboks don their favoured colour to take on France and the French skipper wears a hat.
France’s scrum-half Antoine Dupont, using a head guard, attends a training session at the Stade du Parc in Rueil-Malmaison, near Paris, on October 11, 2023, during the France 2023 Rugby World Cup. – Influential scrum-half Dupont, 2021’s World Rugby player of the year, was given the green light by his surgeon to return to full training after having an operation on a broken cheekbone.
The Springboks have only worn green twice in four matches with alternates used in matches against Scotland and Ireland. Scotland’s drak blue clashed with the Springboks darker green jerseys and strangely also apparently clashed with Ireland’s mint green kits.Despite France wearing a dark blue jersey which is very close in shade to Scotland, neither side has been ordered to don alternate kits.
The scrumcap won’t offer a great deal of protection against a direct shot on the injured area, however he will sport one in a bid to minimize risks.“In matches with these levels of intensity, there’s always pain, whether physical or mental,” Dupont said.
