12 minutes of Antoine Dupont being very good at rugby 

The real challenge would be to find 12 minutes of Antoine Dupont not being very good at rugby.

A miracle! Among his many achievements, Antoine Dupont has taught the Brits how to correctly pronounce a “u”.

I see that title, "Dupont being very good at rugby" and can't help but feel that it's the biggest understatement I've seen in decades.

Absolute beast, has it all.....strength, speed, subtle touch, vision, handling, kicking, defence - not just the best 9 I've ever seen, probably one of the best union players I've ever seen, & have been watching rugby for 40 years.....this guy has everything, apart from an English parent ha ha!

As an Englishman it pains me greatly to say this, but the title of best player in the world definitely belongs to him atm

I honestly think we are witnessing a player who might go down as the GOAT. It's incredible to watch.

"i love watching antoine dupont,he plays how i would like to play" gareth edwards

Soon a part 2 ? One year later there are enough clips to make another one. Keep up the good work.👍

if you could build a 9 in a lab and max out every attribute you would get Antoine Dupont. Absolute machine.

What I love about Dupont is that he is a complete professional, his mindset is elite. He never gets fazed, it's always onto the next job for him whether the opposition have just scored or whether he's just made a rare mistake. You also never see him celebrate or even smile until after the game because he knows the job's not done. The man's going to go down as the 🐐 because he'll never be satisfied with how good he is (and he's already miles ahead of the rest).

Dupont should be in every French National Team...no matter the sport.

Forget the best scrumhalf currently, he is arguably one of the best rugby players in the last probably 20 years, if not ever. He had everything and the kitchen sink.

It crazy how good he is because he's not the tallest or heaviest rugby player but he still is always where he needs to be and tackles easily some of the biggets players.

Now when you mention it, Antoine Dupont is indeed very good at rugby!

Quel talent ! Rapidité, intelligence, changements de direction, esprit d'équipe, précision dans les passes, contrôle de la balle, capacité à se remettre sur ses appuis, à plaquer des joueurs plus massifs...

I'm glad to see the rise of a star such as Dupont. Rugby is more about team efforts so it's harder to single out players contrary to football. But Antoine Dupont is the perfect player to represent rugby.

He might just be one of these once in a generation greats with Lomu, McCaw or fellow scrum-half Edwards He just makes things happen all the time and to top it off is so much fun to watch.

I remember watching this Toulouse's game in Cardiff, it was Dupont's come back after covid and an injury I think. I thought he would struggle with the pace, the impacts, maybe he would miss some key moves ... he single-handedly DESTROYED this Cardiff team, teaching them how rugby is played at the highest level ! I was so impressed

World cup in France could be something very special. Japan RWC was amazing so high hopes for France.

I describe him as the Messi of rugby to non-rugby people. He makes things happen out of nowhere, makes it look easy and at times it’s like he’s playing a different sport! Edit: He gives the impression it all comes to him naturally, he’s “diminutive”… the list goes on

This Dupont chap is very good at doing the rugby 👍

You know what, Im an All Blacks fan and I want the All Blacks to win but in all Honesty France can have 2023 for all I care because this guy is like Micheal Jordan of Rugby and he deserves a WC tittle.

Hard to imagine that is just the beggining of his career 🥲

It's Dupont's world, he just lets us live in it

Le meilleur 9 de tous les temps. Une machine de guerre. Un monstre. Une bête et aussi un modèle d'humilité. Je crois qu'il fait l'unanimité. Bravo à tous les fans de rugby étrangers qui le reconnaissent ainsi. Bel état d'esprit. French Kiss to you 🇨🇵

Will be the greatest player to play the game when he retires. Just have to admire everything he does

Best player in the world right now. Am i wrong?

just incredibly good

Antoine Dupont is such a brilliant player. No doubt about the fact he is currently the best scrum half in the world. But the most impressive with him is his versatility : he could be a very good player in every position between 7 and 15.

Un régal ce joueur, Merci pour la vidéo !

I have made a conclusion about this video, Antoine Dupont is indeed very good at rugby.

Many thanks for this collection! He is a wizard of our time. Superb acceleration off the mark, balance in the tackle, and passing skills. His cross field kicking to the corners is laser-like.

Maxime Médard announced his retirement today, could you do a video on his career? That would be great, love your vids

A frightening talent

SO GOOD!! must have been a joy to edit! Thank you Andrew Forde!!

An extremely obvious video to make. I can respect it. 😎

Amazing talent and skills; a great N°9 and an outstanding player. He's got it all.

He's the Maradona of rugby, meaning you can't learn to play like this. Only he can. You have it or you don't. And nobody else nowadays has it. You can only be inspired by him.

Antoine Dupont Superstar ! He's Fantastic ! 👍👍⭐⭐⚡⚡🏆🏆1⃣1⃣🏉🏉

Et ce n’est que le début, il est encore jeune et va s’épanouir avec le temps. Avec n’tamac la France a un sacré duo !

Looking at him, I always think he looks like THE rugby made as a- man, like Maradona was that kind of an embodiment for soccer

Somtimes you watch Antoine Dupont and it just seems unfair. The amount of skill, pace, flair, intelligence, awareness. Unreal.

His kicking game is something else.

The Man is A Genius, Makes Playing Rugby Look so Easy, Fancy France for World Cup Winners in 2023

this is the best rugby account on yt - you have posted everything imaginable and im binging half the videos - great content

Some people are just built for certain things, this guy is just built for rugby. He has the X factor, I never really realised how good he is, one of the best rugby players ever. And he has a stunning hand-off

12 mn is not enough but i'd take it... good one again Andrew.

For the title alone... subscribed :)

What an asset; so genuine and gifted.

this guy is a jewel !

This guy is a beast

The Most Dangerous Man in the World.

What a wonderful athlete!!!

the world cup 2023 is going to be exciting 🔥

Ce gars est tellement une machine ! Incroyable

He's just from outer space, Dupont is an alien ! 😮

These are insane, hes so well rounded.

Almost one year later and you can easily add 5 minutes of insane highlights. One of my favorite clip is missing. It's a forward roll surrounded by chasing players, once on his feet he keeps on running ( no more than 3 stride if i remember correctly) and he delivers a sublime lobbing pass to it's winger who scores. It's hard to describe but it's mindblowing accrobatic stuff with otherwordly skills. It's with Toulouse.

Un maître à jouer ! Avec lui c'est toujours plus fort et tellement agréable à voir ! Le meilleur parmi les tous meilleurs.

One of the best to ever do it.

Du génie à l'état pur. Au football US il serait à la fois quaterback, attaquant et défenseur...

Late to comment as I've been on me hols. (a) @Andrew Forde you have some of the best Rugby content, thanks a lot (b) Dupont: Strength, Speed, Situational Awareness, Skill. He is thrilling to watch and a fantastic advert for what Rugby can sometimes be. I blooody love him.

Dupont, sans doute le meilleur demi de mêlée au monde.

Dupont is a force of nature. We all knew it even before this magnificent video by Andrew. What I didn't know though was that he has played with 10 on his back and that R92's jersey colour was powder blue.

The best ever before long

Fantastic compilation

The goat

Antoine Dupont is a rugby dream

He isn't a rugby payer, he's rugby.

One of the greatest scrum half's... ever?

Il court dans les airs!

He's quite good at rugby

What a joy to watch.

His skill level is beyond any justifiable comparison. His rugby IQ is off the charts. He reads the game much like a chess master would read his board. Always in the right place. Completely fearless. You must account for him at all times or risk the consequences. Dupont is the ultimate game changer. Best player in the world right now, and will be for the foreseeable future. Already in the discussion for the GOAT.

When Jesus is such a fan of rugby, that he comes to play with the mortals.

That was thoroughly enjoyable

How a scrum-half can master the hand-off like a center...

For our fellow English speaking pals, the phrase that Dupont says to Alldritt at the very beginning of the video is "Fais la passe" which is "'pass me the ball". Very good positioning, Dupont is kinda always where somebody should be. What a player, it's always a pleasure to see him (and the others too) play

Fixed title : *** 12 minutes of rugby being very good at Antoine Dupont ***

c'est tout de même des performances exceptionnelles !

I would be interested to see him play in different positions. I have a feeling he has the strength and talent to be excellent pretty much in any position bar prop or 2nd row.

Can someone please tell Ben Youngs that it's okay to recycle the ball as quickly as Dupont?

The only scrum half I've seen who's comparable to Gareth Edwards, and as such one of the greatest ever.

This man would be an international standard: Back row forward Fly half Centre Wing Disgustingly good

Yeah, not bad, might even have challenged for my place if we played at the same time!🤣 My favourite thing about Dupont is when he pretends not to understand English when he doesn't want to listen to someone!!

I think Dupont has the confidence to push his limits, just because his offloading skills are equally as menacing.

You can watch an amazing documentary about Dupont, called Premières danses : Antoine Dupont. With english subtitles

Fantastic content

His hand-off is incredible. Just shoves the tacklers away.

Great video

7:07 this is why he is the best in the world.. under pressure and made it look so damn easy

Art.

Great 👍🏻

Au football on a eu Zinédine Zidane! Mais au rugby on a maintenant Antoine DUPONT!!

Quand même exeptionnel !!

Dupont is a kind of Messi for rugby.

Undeniably the best player in the world

This guy highlights make me in love with rugby....

Excellent player with enormous physical quality, moreover he has improved on his footwork which is good today. However I think it still has some points where it can improve: . Faster passes (ball speed) . Do not almost always carry the ball out of a ruck, from time to time yes, but in moderation, for the game to be fluid and fast you have to make the pass directly when the ball is available, of course you have to the team is well organized also in attack) . Varied the more pass receiver eg skipped more often players during a pass can create uncertainty in the defense, not always passing the pass to the player closest to either. As for carrying the ball from time to time, it's good but not all the time, from time to time because it allows defenders to be mobilized, especially when you know Antoine, and therefore creates spaces around him, but the disadvantage of almost always doing this is that it slows down the game in general (except if someone manages to make a breakthrough thanks to the space created) but against teams that are good at defending if they do it all the time it slows down considerably the game Well, I'm not a rugby specialist and I wouldn't want Antoine to be restricted in his game, and besides, he must continue to try things thanks to his physical qualities! But here are for me the big points on which he can still work. I don't know maybe what I'm saying is wrong, if so don't hesitate to answer me. I just hope that if it's right, that Antoine is aware of it.

And not even shown is his incredible tackle on the line against Ireland...
