Dupont upset with referee after France’s Rugby World Cup exit to South Africa
The Guardian says Antoine Dupont questioned the performance of the referee, Ben O’Keeffe, following France’s shattering quarter-final exit from the Rugby World Cup at the hands of the defending champions South Africa.
“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 … [But] that doesn’t take anything away from the South Africans. They played a great game.”
