Uini Atonio: France rugby star in intensive care after cardiac event
French prop Uini Atonio is in intensive care after a cardiac event before the Six Nations.
French prop Uini Atonio, who has earned 68 caps for Les Bleus, was admitted to La Rochelle Hospital’s intensive‑care unit on 28 January 2026 after suffering a cardiac event the night before France’s Six Nations opening match. The 32‑year‑old, a regular starter for Stade Toulousain, is undergoing invasive cardiac monitoring and treatment as the French Rugby Federation urges national fans to hope for a swift recovery. Atonio’s condition was confirmed by the team’s medical staff via GB News’ live feed, with updates stating that he had a rhythm disturbance that required immediate intervention. The Six Nations tournament will begin on 4 February, and France’s squad will be shorn of its most experienced prop while the nation watches.
