Raphael Ibanez, Blues manager, said that Pierre Bourgarit, French XV hooker, has a double crutch following the win against Japan.
Ibanez said that the La Rochelle player was struck in the back of his thigh, and buttock.
Bourgarit, a 24 year old player with 6 selections, entered the match in the 50th minute. He was replaced by Peato Mauvaka in the match. Toulouse took the 73rd position in Saturday's match.
He scored a try on the Blues' fifth and first international. It was on a 68th-minute carried ball.
According to the French Rugby Federation, Shaun Edwards (defense coach for the XV France) was positive in a test before he left for Japan. He will not be joining the Blues.
According to the FFR, Shaun was not completely recovered from twelve days of Covid despite his negative PCR test on Sunday morning.
"We thought it more reasonable that he doesn't come to us and that he continues with his work remotely with staff," said the body.
On June 22, he had been tested positive for Covid-19. Laurent Labit was the coach and the attack's leader, along with two other players: Toulon Aymeric Luc and Racing 92 Max Spring. Since then, all three have joined the XV France in Japan.
France won its first match against Japan with a score 42-23 and five tries.
For a second match, the Japanese will face the Habs this Saturday. Start time is 8:00 AM.
