ANTOINE DUPONT sparked fears his Rugby World Cup may already be over.
That’s after being rushed to hospital following a sickening clash of heads during France’s drubbing of Namibia.
The tournament hosts showed their strength with an incredible 96-0 victory on Thursday.
But the result was overshadowed by a horrific injury to superstar Dupont early in the second half.
The scrum-half was crunched in a head-to-head collision with opponent Johan Deysel.
Dupont looked to be in agony as he required pitch-side treatment from medics.
He was then rushed to hospital with a suspected broken cheekbone.
And there are now fears Dupont’s World Cup could be over.
As for Nambia capital Deysel, he is set to serve a ban after being sent off for the collision via a bunker review.
Damian Penaud bagged a hat-trick, with two scores for Jonathan Danty in a 14-try romp.
