• France coach Galthié furious over loss of pivotal captain
• Prop says he had 'no malicious intent' in incident at ruck

The Ireland prop Andrew Porter insisted "I haven't done anything wrong" as he hit back at France's head coach Fabien Galthié amid the fallout over Antoine Dupont's season-ending knee injury.

Les Bleus' captain – widely regarded as the world's best player – faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during his country's 42-27 Six Nations win in Dublin. France were furious with the incident which caused the injury, with Galthié branding it "reprehensible" as he announced his intention to refer Porter and his Ireland teammate Tadhg Beirne to the citing commissioner for possible retrospective punishment.
