France's Ntamack at 'fighting weight' on injury return

SPORTS 30.03.2024

France fly-half Romain Ntamack said on Saturday his return from an eight-month lay-off "stung a bit" but he was at his "fighting weight" as he came off the bench in Toulouse's Top 14 win over Pau.

Text size:

Ntamack missed the World Cup on home soil and this year's Six Nations with the serious knee injury he suffered in August.

The 24-year-old played 25 minutes as his club beat Pau 31-29 to move three points behind league leaders Stade Francais in the table.

"I'm at fighting weight, it's true I put on a few kilos in December around the Christmas period, I wasn't running then," Ntamack told Canal.

"People pulled my leg a bit, I worked to lose the kilos. Just playing 25 minutes stung a bit, I'm trying to get back into things slowly," he added.
