France will undoubtedly miss captain Antoine Dupont for as along as he is sidelined by a facial fracture but, centre Arthur Vincent said, have other players who can take up his leadership role at the World Cup.

The scrumhalf sustained the injury in last week's record 96-0 win over Namibia, putting another massive dent in French hopes of winning a first world title after the earlier loss of flyhalf Romain Ntamack.
