France centre Arthur Vincent ruled out of 2022 Six Nations
By Ian Cameron
France centre Arthur Vincent has been ruled out for eight months it has been revealed by Montpellier, meaning the highly-rated midfielder won't take any part in the 2022 Guinness Six Nations.
The 22-year-old has earned 14 Test caps to date for Les Bleus but his season has been left in ruin after he suffered a brutal injury playing against La Rochelle on the weekend. He injured his knee and was subsequently replaced in the 20th minute by Julien Tisseron.
It is understood he ruptured his knee ligaments, an injury that has ended any prospect of him featuring again this year and will see him miss next year's Guinness Six Nations.
Vincent (6ft, 90kg) is currently under contract with MHR until the end of 2021/2022 season and there is speculation that rival clubs - including Toulouse - are interested in signing him.
According to his MHR bio, Vincent discovered rugby at the age of five in Mauguio, a town in the suburbs of Montpellier where he grew up. He played rugby school for 9 years, until he finally joined the MHR in U14, a club he "had dreamed of" playing for from an early age.
He then joined the Espoirs pole of Béziers from 2014 to 2017, before being selected for France age-grade honours with the U17s then the U20s and was crowned Under 20 World Champion in 2018. It was as captain of this same team that he achieved the double in 2019.
He made his senior France debut in February 2020 and - when fit - has been a near ever-present in the side since.

There is a major story unfolding around Gleeson's bar in Booterstown, South Dublin City last night. Beaudy Barrett, DMac and Cody Taylor were there. DMac was supposed to be on the Guinness 0.0 but lets just say it didn't turn out that way.
Hours later, Dmac out cold, head on the table with a long stallagtite of flem and spittle rising and falling with his breathing. There is a video apparently.
The barman barred a staggering Taylor from any more Guinness but Taylor kept pushing past him, pulled a seat up to the Guinness tap and personally pulled himself pints, claiming it was 'celebrity pint pulls mate'.
One of these celebrity pint pulls made a local paper but it's only a matter of time before the real context comes out. Dmac is out of the team for Friday due to breaking 'internal standards', Sititi starting at 10.

I tell you what though, the head knock from Kriel on Hugh jones in the wc that didn’t result in any card was a real mystery with the way things are now.
Also suspect the Boks will be pretty well motivated by glasgows antics in stellenbosch last week and loftus in June…
Should be a cracker hopefully!
