Toulouse, France, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Nov, 2022 ) :France centre Jonathan Danty was cleared to play against Japan next weekend after the French Rugby Federation (FFR) announced that he had not suffered long-term injury from the head-butt he received in the win over South Africa on Saturday.

Springbok lock Pieter-Steph du Toit was sent off in the 12th minute of France's 30-26 win in Marseille for piling into a ruck headfirst and butting Danty, who was on the ground, in the face.

Danty took no further part in the match, amid fears that he had suffered a fracture of his eye socket.

"The first clinical examination raised suspicion of a lesion of the eye socket," the FFR said in a press release.
