    The GOAT debate is childish, especially in rugby.
    But Dupont is already the most striking player of our time.
    He's the most complete and impactful player I've seen since I started watching rugby.

    but he surely is the most complete rugby-man of all time... yet
    also... just picture this... teens and children are watching this very entertaining style of play... and kids will grow trying to do it like him... just picture it... we may be looking at a generation that 10 years from now will have so enjoyed this type of play they will try and reproduce it... all around the oval world
    and for us rugby fan, this would be a feast for our eyes...

    Lomu has never won a World Cup (at 15), and for me he's the goat even so I'm French. Winning a World Cup means nothing in a team sport. Not all teams have the same talents.

    It's true that "he's not the best because he's never won a World Cup" often read in South African comments is a non-argument. So all the players from the decades before the World Cup was invented were losers? That makes no sense. A very nice and objective video, thank you, you have a new subscriber.👍👍

    Don't know if he is the best of all time, but it's the first rugby player I'd go to the stadium to watch him play, whichever side he's on. Wishing him the best for 2027.

      Summarize pretty much the general feeling toward him I think and it's already some hell of an achievement, whether you are french, british, irish, kiwi, bokke or otherwise that's quite a statement. The guy generate a lot of goodwill, regardless the nationality, the club allegiance which is pretty rare these days and pretty refreshing I have to say.

    Dupont has a rare vision of the game, and in the same time he's got the physical abilities to make his aims come true. Very very unique. He's not selfish, he makes his team play, and is humble in everyday life, believing in work and collective spirit. He comes from a farmer family, and keeps this " shut up and work hard " way of life. The best of all times? i don't know... the actual best player? for sure.... As a french rugby coach , i got the privilege to work in Toulon during the famous " galactic era " when RCT won 3 european cups, and got the top of the top players. Somebody like J.Wilkinson is for me as symbolic as Dupont, as far as skills, mentality and leadership are concerned. And about English players and Dupont, i still got his signed photo he dedicated to me in Twikenham after the famous 53 - 10.... greetings from France, nice video btw, keep the good spirit :)

    Since I was born I have not known a player so complete and exceptional. If it's the problem of winning the World Cup, first of all you have to rewatch the game against South Africa, which result is highly questionable,.... And he's 27, he won almost everything, so what's missing guys? See u in a few years.!

    The goat debates come from the internet and the apparition of social media that let people debate and share their opinion.
    As a frenchman when i start watching rugby in the 2010' i was in admiration of Dan Carter, Habana, Dusautoir, Wilkinson and many more great players...
    And at this time internet was less developped and i do not remember that their was a goat debate, and i think we did not really f**king care.
    And when i watch the greatness of Dupont nowadays and the people that debate of him being the goat or not, i dont really f**king care like in the past😂.
    And i think everyone should do that to, lets just enjoy great athletes play rugby !

    The answer is NO, NO, NO! Although the guy plays for my hometown's team and he is a great player but, Jonah Lomu is the best player of all time, and no one will ever take his place.

When Lomu got the ball, even the other team's supporters knew something was going to happen and cheered for it, that what made him the GOAT.
