PARIS - France captain Antoine Dupont said in an interview published on Tuesday he aims to return to playing after his country's November Tests.

The 28-year-old scrum-half suffered a serious knee injury on 8 March and will be sidelined for games against Rugby World Cup winners South Africa, Fiji and Australia.

"We'll be eight months on from my injury," the Toulouse half-back told French newspaper L'Equipe.

"I think it's a reasonable amount of time. I hope everything will go well between now and then.

"I'm not sure it would be very intelligent to rush, even if it's hard to miss international games."
