Rugby: Irish players won’t be disciplined over Dupont’s knee injury

# Rugby: The Six Nations have refused France’s demand for two Irish players to face a disciplinary committee over their ruck clean-out that left French captain Antoine Dupont on the sidelines for several months. He suffered a serious knee-injury when Tadhg Beirne and Andrew Porter landed on his leg during France’s 42-27 victory in Dublin. Irish winger Calvin Nash was also not cited following his yellow card for a high tackle on French centre Pierre-Louis Barassi. France plays Scotland in Paris in this coming weekend’s final round.
