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!

Back here after his amazing season, Olympic Gold medal, World Rugby Sevens Series, Euro Cup and French Cup…
What a phenomenal player.
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!
pour moi il est deja le meilleur joueur de l'histoire. Dan Carter, Wilkinson, McCaw.. si je dois choisir un joueur, je choisis Dupont tous les jours. Le seul qui est peut etre au dessus c'est Jonah Lomu mais je ne connais de lui que quelques highlights donc joker
@@amaury784 surtout que le rugby évolue, les joueurs actuels sont bien meilleurs physiquement que les joueurs d'il y a 20 ans, tu mets la NZL de Lomu contre la France d'aujourd'hui je pense qu'on leur met 50 points
@@valentinh8230 oui j'imagine, mais je raisonne en niveau relatif plutot. Savoir à quel point un joueur est dominant par rapport aux autres de son époque. Si dans 2 siecles, il y a 100 athletes qui font le 100m en moins de 9.58s, ils ne seront pas pour autant considérés comme meilleur que Usain Bolt par exemple.
Mais même dans ces conditions, je pense que Dupont peut etre un meilleur joueur que Lomu. Il n'a literrallement aucun defaut: attaque, defense, jeu au pied(gauche comme droit), vision de jeux, passe, état d'esprit, polyvalence (de poste comme de type de rugby)...
@@amaury784 J'ai vu Jonah Lomu jouer en direct. Je peux donc le dire, autant que ma pauvre culture rugbystique peut me le permettre de le faire: il était bien moins complet. Je veux dire, pas de méprise hein, c'est un joueur légendaire, et d'une certaine façon il était complet mais dans un rapport fou énorme physique/technique/vitesse. Dupont sais absolument TOUT faire. Défense intraitable, il trouve des touches impossibles, il fait des chisteras comme on cligne des yeux, j'ai rarement vu des joueurs être aussi à l'aise au pied et en mouvement, et des DEUX pieds. Il est extrêmement rapide et peut déposer trois défenseurs. Il casse des chevilles avec ses feintes pour ouvrir les brèches. Il est toujours calme et dirige le jeu de façon naturelle. On ajoute, évidemment, la fameuse vision du jeu avec ce temps d'avance sur tout le monde et voilà, il y a tout. Je me demande s'il n'irait pas tirer les pénalités si Ramos ou Jaminet ne le faisaient pas! Même un casual comme moi se rend compte très vite que c'est rarissime de voir un joueur pareil.
As a Casual rugby follower this guy really was impressive against the Fiji in 7 final at the Olympic.
He was really criticized for joinning the rugby 7 team but im glad he did he was amazing to watch and so so good
I think even all pro players in the world have nothing but a huge respect and admiration for him, noone hates him. Maybe because he's very humble and great at the same time. just my opinion
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.
Dupont is an all-rounder who beat specialists in their own disciplines, he is THAT good
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.
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!
He's not only the best 9 around, he can play like a 10 or a 15, have the instinct of a flanker, and the fend a front-row. He's got 7 or 8 good years in front of him, if he's keeping this level, he will easily be in the same conversation of Lomu, Carter, VanDerWesthuizen, Wilkinson, Edwards or McCaw
This is insane, I never saw a player that dominant. This is ridiculous.
It’s like a computer game!
Le ministre de l'intérieur !
On peut mettre son nom aux elections? Non? rhoooo
The best ever!!!
Statement!
La vidéo date d'un mois, et en un mois on pourrait déjà refaire une vidéo de highlights de dupont avec les matchs qu'il a joué entre temps... C'est du jamais vu.
Finally a rugby channel that knows what highlights people want to see 🤩
Thank you 💪
I agree!
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
Il se balade dans les défenses avec une insolence incroyable 👍😍
this guy is unreal !
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.
I'm French and for us during the 6 nations, there is an only team to win is England ! 🤣 We love you Brits. But there will always be a great rivalry between our 2 nations. It's historical. 😉
@@ggousier Its funny that for the French, doing better than the Brits matters(i saw even an advert of Renaut that says that the ENglish invented rugby but the French reinvented it).....on the British side, I haven't heard them give an iota for such.... It makes me wonder... Greatness is inborn for the British...thats why they are the envy of the world.. hahaha
@@isaymymind1727 Not sure whether you're serious or not but if so, that's an embarrassing statement, man...
@@isaymymind1727 French flair buddy 😉
I think he'll go down as the best ever when hes retired so long as nothing unforseen happens. Seeing as Wales wont be lifting the Web Ellis cup for a while, I hope this French generation gets it some time soon.
The poor welsh :(
Fortunately, negative comments about Dupont are rare, but these gentlemen would sell their house to have him in their team because they know very well that he is a unique player who will soon become the greatest of all time.
Did you hear what Ronan Ogara said about him?
@@PocketRugby Yes I read it and I agree with him
Pour faire simple, je ne m'intéressait pas plus que ça au Rugby avant, mais depuis "l'ère" Dupont je ne loupe aucun de ses matchs.
La CLASSE tout simplement et un cauchemar pour ses adversaires ! 😩
Glad to see that some French can be good and not arrogant 🙂Marc from Paris.
This guy is a X-men. No one can be compare to him. He's the goat
Respect God
Early call for the best Rugby player ever
Yep!
After the final Toulouse Leinster it's even more obvious.
Dupont sera le plus grand joueur de l'Histoire! Il va TOUT gagner! Médaille d'or olympique et coupe Webb Ellis!
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
@@PocketRugby and also player of the decade
France should have won the world cup but World Rugby decided otherwise...

bro is the kdb of rugby
The Messi of rugby!
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.
@@alexjar3144quel intérêt d’essayer de défendre un résultat erroné. C’est comme la remontada, soit on joue avec les règles, on gagne, on perd, on accepte le résultat, si ce n’est pas le cas et bien on est en droit de ne pas accepter le résultat. POINT
L'Afrique du Sud est l'équipe la plus protégée du rugby, le World Rugby étant composé d'anglais, de néo-z mais surtout de sud-africains. Il serait temps d'ouvrir sa gueule car ça fait 30 ans que ça dure...
@@AJ-ne3qe Tu mytho, dans les 5 erreurs il y a des erreurs en defaveur des sud af. Comment veux tu qu'on accorde du serieux aux ouin ouin l'arbitre quand ils mentent.
Rookie year in 7'... 2 tournaments played, 2 gold medals! A grand slam in 15'... National champion with toulouse several times... European champion... Antoine Dupont is there anything you can't do with a rugby ball in hand??
He is only getting better too!

What a robbery this quarter final against South africa was
❤️🏈❤
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.
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.

If English speaking refs were not corrupted, we would have been world champions
Ce que je proposais dans mon commentaire : réfléchir à l'existence de Dieu. Cela dépasse infiniment ce qu'est un être humain ; nous sommes des créatures de Dieu ; Il est le Créateur.

@alexdrew34 well Northern Hemisphere rugby isn't that much interesting now is it? 😮💨
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.
@@Benjamin-g8d8q Pas besoin de coupe du monde, regarde Gareth Edwards......
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 )
Sens literal vs sens figuré, some people seem to not make any difference in poetry
Alors d'après Google, je cite : "Les nonpareilles, ou nonpareils, sont de minuscules perles de sucre traditionnellement blanches ou colorées, qui sont disposées sur les gâteaux, desserts et glaces à des fins décoratives. On trouve des perles argentées, de diverses couleurs et quelquefois parfumées à la violette ou à la rose." Je vois pas le rapport, mais j'ai appris quelque chose...
It's a pleasure to see him playing, but... it's not that much ravishing when he is on the opposite side in the finale of your country championship.
Godlike
