France crashed out of a home Rugby World Cup in heartbreaking fashion as they went down to South Africa in one of the greatest matches of all time and Antoine Dupont slammed the refereeing in the aftermath of the loss keno
A thrilling quarter-final at the Stade de France ended with the Springboks triumphing 29-28 as France’s last-gasp stand to try and find the single score that would have led them to victory came up agonisingly short, in an excruciatingly similar manner to Ireland 24 hours earlier at the same stadium keno
In a match decided by the finest of margins, Les Bleus captain Dupont – whose recovery from a fractured cheekbone suffered just 24 hours prior had dominated the build-up to the game –was unhappy with referee Ben O’Keeffe and let rip in his post-match press conference keno
“It’s hard to talk about these things because there’s lots of disappointment and frustration,” said Dupont keno
“We could have had some penalties at crucial moments keno
“I don’t want to be a bad loser and moan about the refereeing but I don’t think the refereeing was up to the level of what was at stake keno
It’s not just one person, there are TMOs, assistant referees and they have time to review images as the game is going on keno
“This doesn’t take anything away from South Africa’s performance, they played a great game keno

It was a tight call and would have been a penalty, sin-binning and possibly even a penalty try had the ball been deemed to have gone forward off the Springbok lock’s hand keno
Etzekeno beth was later sin-binned for making contact with Uini Atonio’s head in a tackle but after bunker review, it was decided that a yellow card was sufficient and it wasn’t upgraded to red keno

After such an incredible quarter-final, it was a shame to be talking about the referee and while head coach Fabien Galthie also hinted at his dissatisfaction at O’Keeffe’s performance, he was keen to give South Africa their due for a scintillating performance keno
“I understand the players’ frustration,” said Galthie keno
“I ask them to be brave but at such times keno

I will accept it [the refereeing] keno
This doesn’t take anything away from South Africa’s performance keno
“They showed their experience and they dominated us in the fight keno
I don’t want to take that away from them keno
There’s just frustration, a lot of emotions and it’s hard to take keno
“We’ve worked with the referees ahead of this tournament and during the World Cup and we will continue to do so keno
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi also brushed off any potential controversy and instead focused on a remarkable game of rugby keno
“All we can do is play rugby, we can’t control the decisions the referee makes,” said Kolisi keno
“We will have to look again but I felt he let the game flow well and his decisions were ok keno
I’ve never discredited a referee and I never will keno
“Antoine got his own opinion but the game was an amazing game keno
It flowed, it was physical and there were lots of contests keno
The atmosphere was amazing and it was a perfect stage for everything keno
