Rugby is a dangerous sport, which regularly injures players' bodies.
But sometimes, problems come at unexpected times.
This Saturday, when he had just faced Stade Toulousain with his club Oyonnax, Loïc Godener had the bitter experience.
Expected for the interview by Canal +, the third row had to force himself to remove his mouthguard.
He finally succeeded, but it cost him an incisor, which went with the object.
“Well, there you go, I lost my tooth,” he observed, finally breaking into a smile.

Arriving in Oyonnax from ASM Clermont, after having played at Racing 92 and Stade Français, Loïc Godener started this Saturday afternoon on the pitch of the Toulouse team.
Despite a good performance from his team for almost a half, the promoted team finally lost to the reigning champions (61-34), conceding nine tries.
However, they will be satisfied with having scored five, something few teams have managed to do against Toulouse.
This defeat, combined with Montpellier's great victory at Racing 92 (20-44), however relegates Oyonnax to last place in the Top 14. In fifteen matches, the Oyonnaxiens have only won five times.
The last one dates back to December 29, against the Section Paloise.
The next meeting, next Saturday in Lyon, is already crucial for the promoted team, who should be able to count on Loïc Godener.
Who will, however, have to visit their dentist during the week.
