Ntamack, whose brilliant solo try at the death helped Toulouse beat La Rochelle in the French Championship final in June, had scored a try in the 32nd minute, before being injured in the 53rd minute after a tackle by Finn Russell. The French outhalf lay on the ground and was treated for several minutes before being replaced by Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
Head coach Fabien Galthié said immediately after the game: “For Romain, it’s a hyperextension of the knee with a slight ligament tension but nothing more.”
