Welcome to my channel. For the love of the game 💪🏉 Rugby highlights and fun videos for fans of the game. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE if you would like to see more. Thank you very much, PRR.
Antoine Dupont is probably going to be crowned the greatest rugby player of all time if he can continue to perform at the level he has been since the start of his career. Starting in Castres, Dupont moved to Toulouse and is now the French National Captain. From a young age it was evident he was special. His ability to change a game is frightening - the strength of a prop, the athleticism of a backrow, the skills of an outhalf and the speed of a winger, he has it all. Following France’s defeat in the RWC 2023, Dupont debuted for the National 7s side and dominated.
Is Antoine Dupont the GOAT of rugby? Many would argue, yes!

Hes not only the best player in the world, he is slowly becoming the best rugby player in history. I've never seen such a good player
I couldn’t agree more! And he is small which makes it that much better, proving that you don’t have to be a giant to succeed!
This is hard to say being a Kiwi, but damb he's good. If he has a long career he will possibly be considered the best 9 ever!
No, will possibly be considered the best rugby player
Well said Sir. Looking forward to the BLEUS-AB game, this coming November. BTW, who is now the emerging N°9 for the AB?
What fucking 9?
best rugby player ever!
Thank you for posting AND thank you for showing Antoine's prowess both at 15's & at 7's. Let's hope he can achieve Olympics'glory with his 7's teammates in the coming summertimes. Let us also remember that, so far, depiste all the hype around him, he has proved to stay humble and down to earth.
Thank you, i appreciate your comment 💪❤️ His focus is admirable!
With many years behind me in rugby and other sports events (cycling, MTBing, outdoor raids, handball, etc.), I have quite a nice viewing angle and had the chance to work with hundreds of athletes and dozens of Champions.
Antoine is the most humble guy you may ever come across in your life. It takes French as native language to get all the subtleties but, believe me, he never gets things to himself.
When elected World's best, he was invited in all French TV programs and every media (even fashion and food magazines !) was bragging about him and/or published an article. Everyone in France knows him, and it takes a time-travel back to Serge Blanco to have such an occurrence (starting around 1985). Still, he's all about working for his teams and getting better. He wants to deserve his nickmane : "Ministry of interior".
He considers himself a newcomer and beginner at 7, but when you watch how he played with the national team in the last weeks... WOW, what a rookie ! Then, back with Stade toulousain XV like he never left... amazing.
Le ministre de l'intérieur !
The best ever!!!
Statement!
That try-saving tackle still defies belief! I do not recall seeing a player with such an incredible all-round ability, but in spite of all the amazing skills on show it is still that tackle that blows my mind.
Finally a rugby channel that knows what highlights people want to see 🤩
Thank you 💪
I agree!
This is insane, I never saw a player that dominant. This is ridiculous.
It’s like a computer game!
UN MAGE, C'EST UN MAGE🙏🏉🏉🏉🏉
He is ridiculous, deserves more trophies but there's still time
- with Stade Toulousain team : 3 times Top14 Champion + 1 time Champions Cup winner
- with French XV national team : 6 Nations winner in 2022 & Grand slam ( + 3 times 2nd place)
- with French 7 national team : 1 tournament win ( + 1 tournament 2nd place), with only 2 events played
- 6 Nations : best player 2020 + 2022 + 2023
- EPCR : best player 2021
- World rugby : best player 2021
etc. etc. (minor awards and titles)
I think we can already consider this "more". Just the beggining of "more", and to be continued...
He will probably win atleast 3 more world players of the year haha
I am an Englishman so have great respect but no great love for "Les Bleus", but.......................this chap is truly brilliant and a deep joy to watch.
No love for les bleus coz they are full of themselves ot the extent that they claim to have reinvented rugby...I mean who says that? Glad they didn't win the worldcup.
South African fans will be here to show their real face but we all know what good & fair rugby looks like
South africans fans are the worse for sure
I think it's linked to their culture, they often show bad faith, and forget to congratulate opposing teams. Zero fair play, they don't deserve their national team, which is superb.
Du Pont most devastating player in the world right now - love the way he plays - he is worth 3 players literally. (SA fan)
Thanks you x1000 ❤ from France 🙏🏼
Lol l Afrique du Sud l équipe de tricheurs obligés de payer un arbitre pour gagner honte a eux
Early call for the best Rugby player ever
Yep!
Respect God
Pour nous Français ,il est le plus grand joueur de tous les temps , et il se retablit vite de ses blessures nombreuses , il est comme un hero des temps anciens. Seuls les arbitres corrompus du world rugby tour comme O'keef peuvent l'arreter.
Franchement, je sais que pour certains, Ben O'Keef est l'antéchrist, mais 'faut arrêter avec ce pauvre homme. On a perdu, on a perdu, c'est comme ça. (Et franchement, perdre juste d'un point, je le prends pas comme une grosse défaite non plus).
Et pour rappel, O'Keefe c'est aussi l'arbitre de France-Angleterre en 2023, donc je ne crois pas que le gars soit le plus biaisé anti-français.
@@alexjar3144Quand World Rugby reconnaît qu'au moins 5 erreurs majeures ont été commise par O'Keef (le double en réalité) en défaveur de la France ce n'est pas une défaite mais un vol.
Aucun problème avec le fait de perdre contre des adversaires valeureux, par contre contre des champions du monde du dopage et de l'achat de CDM par trop non.
Mais bon, encore un qui n'a pas connu la CDM de 95 à tout les coups.
Lesssss get it K!!
Intéressant
Best action 1:50

Antoine Dupont is, without doubt, the most richly talented player ever to grace an international rugby union pitch.
His gifts are beyond compare. He is in an entirely different league, for sure.
But he is a human being and the God-like reference is misplaced and mis-judged. Are Usain Bolt and Roger Federer god-like? No, they are mere mortals like the rest of us, but supremely gifted. As it happens, the French have a word for it too! 'Nonpareil'.
It is a reference to videogame, not actual God.
Considering God is just a concept, it's just an expression based on this concept.
It's 'sans pareil' which means 'without match' or 'which doesn't stand any comparison'
(edit : spoke too fast, nonpareil exists, however I've never heard anyone ever say it. Every day makes you smarter and more humble I guess )
nonpareil is a dated word no one uses, but thank you for mentioning it!
❤️🏈❤

I find it intriguing as an American Football fan that someone that small can be one of the best players in the sport 🤔We have wide receivers that can survive at that size but it's a position where you don't experience as much contact, this guy is getting hit on every play. I assume he has had some injury issues?
During the world cup he for his face broken.
He had a major vertebra problem about 5 years ago, but recovered after 2/3 of a season being off. And he came back way stronger. The upper-jaw broken bone during RWC France 2023 tournament was his second injury.
A rugby player is WAY more rich in skills than any american football player. I used to follow NFL seasons for several years and am a former rugby player (up to University national vice-champion, then commentator and event organiser), so I have a rather broad view upon both sports.
Rugby is regarded a brutal game, which used to be true until the late 1990s. Not anymore. If you are 1% less fit than your opponent, you are done and dusted. They are fit, probably the fittest of all current athletes, all sports considered. Because they have to run fast (even the front-rows "big ones"), they have to pass the ball backwards which requires special skills (that is the main restricting rule in the sport of "Rugby football", its real and official name), they have to release the opponent and get away from the "ruck" after each tackle, they have to stand on their feet and bend down with their torso when they want to contest the ball in the "ruck", they have to constantly stay behing the virtual line drawn by the ball itself (and the ball carrier most of the time), they have to be multi-task (push, jump, pass, run, protect, run forward and backward in a snap to cope with the previous rule), they have to be close to having a 360° angle of view because (well... you have seen the speed of Antoine Dupont, who is not the fastest runner, so you understand why), they have to be able to kick the ball while running they pick it back, they handle a biger and heavier ball then the american football one (a reminiscence of its roots in "Football association", what you call "soccer"). etc. etc.
Being a rugby player requires being a swiss-knife of sports.
Their protections are... themselves. This is also why they must be fit. The positive side of it (also thanks to new rules) : a smaller number of injuries than most would think of. I never wrote there are none, only less than an ignorant would guess. The protections worn by american football players allow for attitudes and gestures and actions actually lethal without them. Remember what happend before NFL decided new regulations about helmets and their fastening straps... how many spine injuries, how many neck injuries, how many brain damages ?
In rugby you have no hard-shell protections, so players up to know where can go. There are incidents, but rules are stricts and red cards are awarded about one every three games in average (2 x 15 players total on field at any given time). A red card means your game is over + you won't play the next + a discipline comission may give extra weeks or months of ban. With such rules, 1980s brutal rugby is long gone even though some bad behaviours can be seen at times.
@@gillesmatheronpro The fittest athletes are the gymnasts. They have to train every fiber of their body like a machine to be able to do the most basic things in gymnastic. Rugby players come in all shapes and sizes. Some are very fit like Dupont, others not so much like the props for instance who often need a drastic fitness work out to play at a certain level.
@@gillesmatheronpro Appreciate your passion for the sport, and the great knowledge shared. I think you captured the biggest difference in the Swiss army knife comment where one player has to run, has to kick and much more where our sport is more about different roles requiring different skills and a "Different Job" I guess the richness in skill gap comment you mentioned is in the eye of the beholder, the Quarterback position in American Football requires so much, I played the game in Highschool (never good enough to play in college) And the reads you have to make on the go can become overwhelming quickly. Thank you again, and greetings from Miami!
He is a pretty speedy player, bullish and difficult to catch. He plays as a 9 or 10 on the field, much more in support, in defense, in attack, when failure appears in central defense. He is great with foot play (right and left kick are equal) . during a match, he plays 15, 14 or 13 or create over number during attacks by sliding quickly in the first line ... what makes him terrific is the physical resistance, his foot and hand skills, explosivity, and the fact that he has always a significant impact ont the whole team as a player (15, 7's rugby, Toulouse) during the match and training : the most skilled player in a team.
If English speaking refs were not corrupted, we would have been world champions
The thumbnail??? oh my GOD 🤡
Clown?
He's certainly a brilliant player, but rugby is played with 15 players on the field and the best player can't do anything without his 14 teammates.
let's not starve the players like football fans did, we quickly saw the abuses happening.
The most overrated, most exaggerated player ever in the WHOLE UNIVERSE 💀💀💀
Cry more
@@ruden8667 😮💨🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@user-pf2gf2kn6g you need that to hold all those tears of yours into something after all
Tell me you don't know anything about rugby without telling me you don't know anything about rugby ...
You're the definition of a 0 ball knowledge
@alexdrew34 well Northern Hemisphere rugby isn't that much interesting now is it? 😮💨
He is really good from a South African
Hayi Bo! He's not good. From a South African Rugby Player. Yeka ukunya
@@isaymymind1727 you right. he is not good
he is the definition of greatness
@@isaymymind1727 Hey Bra, you misunderstood me. NO ONE, is better than anyone in the South African team. But he's good. You must give it to the boy.🤣
I'm from Namibia, you guys owe us one!
😁
lol the french again , what a joke , what has he ever won
you realise he's not a golfer or a swimmer. Rugby is a team sport so the fact that France didn't win the last World Cup literally means fuck all in regards to Dupont's skills as a rugby player. Oh and if we're talking about what he's [individually] won World Player of Year and 3 six nations Player of the tournaments. So retrospectively he's won quite a bit... you absolute half wit 🤣
A significant amount
Deja il joue dans le meilleur championat du monde qu il a gagné plusieurs fois, les coupes d europe, et le plus important , le respect de tous!
@@lerescator6598 Si les Français remportent automatiquement la coupe du monde, alors seulement Du Pont ne fera même pas partie des 10 meilleurs joueurs de l'histoire du rugby.
@@user-ii5cw9pf3v Pas besoin de coupe du monde, regarde Gareth Edwards......
