France U20 World Cup winner suffers stroke
By Online Editors
French rugby has been rocked by the news that a France U20 World Cup winner, Antonin Berruyer, has suffered a stroke.
Grenoble revealed on Tuesday that the incident happened last week at the Top 14 club's training centre and the 20-year-old was taken to hospital.
There are reports that the loose forward became dizzy while in his room.
Berruyer won the World Rugby U20 Championship with France last year, defeating England 33-25 in the final.
In a statement the club said "Antonin Berruyer had a stroke last week. This accident happened at night in his room at the training centre. Antonin was immediately taken care of and hospitalised at Grenoble University Hospital. He underwent appropriate treatment and, after a period of observation, was able to return home this weekend.
"Antonin was again at the hospital on late Monday afternoon to pass tests that confirmed that the problem had been perfectly addressed.
"Antonin returned home, as a family, to rest. He will be off until the end of the season.
"The whole of the FCG thinks very strongly of him and wishes him a quick recovery.

You'd swear they didn't win 28-7 away from home....
Go to commentsMcKenzie is better than Barrett , but not better than Richie Mo'unga. Richie regularly outplayed DMac in Super Rugby. , as he did in the 2023 Final in Hamilton. I remember the 2021 Aotearoa Super Rugby Final here in CHCH. Mo'unga took him to the cleaners. McKenzie is a fine footballer , but at best a hybrid 10 . Fergus Burke , ( now playing in England ), who made a big difference when he came back late in the Crusaders season , is a better 10 than DMac. I also think 140 game + Crusader Matt Todd was always a better no 7 than Sam Cane.A big part of 3 title winning teams when South African teams were still in the comp. How many titles did the Chiefs win in that period of time?
