Looked like he was holding back "Delaney's Donkey" in the half-mile race.!! 🤣 A determined wee blaggard isn't he..that was the best tackle I've seen in any of the "6 Nations games" mind you & I'm Irish.!!
Yeah you irish won this competition and were the best, but France was brilliant, and this guy is like 1m72 and a little beef too !! That's country guy strength !! ahha Much respect to you irish, I watch you against the spring bocks amazing game !! See you in finals !!! cheers from france
Merci à l'équipementier irlandais d'avoir confectionné des maillots qui ne s'arrachent toujours pas même quand Antoine Dupont tire dessus de toutes ses forces
@@vi-cz1fd ??? These year? Do you mean 2022? Because he won 6N and was legit contender for Player of the Year in 2022. If you talk about 2023? Well, he was amazing against ireland so...
I'm not massively into rugby, but got recommended this video. Aside from Dupont's brilliance, I have to say that I'm bowled over by the level of open and heartfelt respect being shown here towards him, especially from Irish fans who are appreciatively clapping their opponent's skill. Really classy, and says a lot about the quality of some of the people watching this sport. Respect.
I like Ramos but he was disastrous today, very very poor kicking in the game, no defenders beaten, responsible for 2 Irish tries. With Jaminet at Fullback France would have been in less trouble.. Ireland deserve the win no matter what, better team today !
I think Penaud, Flament, Jaminet and Jalibert should have their share, they complete this amazing team and all the other players too but those 4 are underrated
Antoine is bulkier than Hansen and it's an advantage. Antoine crouches down and catches his opponent under his center of gravity. That's the reason why he succeeded to prevent the try. Anyway, it's an awesome tackle.
What a tackle that was. This match was a fantastic one, and even if I am sad we lost, massive props to the Irish team, they were absolutely incredible, a pure joy to watch, and a well deserved victory. Congrats!!
We'll see how he fares against the mighty All Blacks first lol if he does great then you can call him the best 9, but if not then that position belongs to new zealand
@@JACKAL98 he has already proven it many times against other top teams including NZ if you follow rugby, and an other match against those NZ will don’t change that position
I'm in love with him. I'm french and Antoine Dupont make me happier than anyone one else in the world XD he's not human, he's too perfect! He's already in my mind the best rugby player in the history. And I'll never change my mind about this ahaha
No right? Apart from him having tracked back 50 metres and training hard every day of his life to build the strength and technique to allow him to make a tackle such as this? Apart from all that, yeah, he had no right. lol
@@stroketheboat It's a figure of speech. He had no right in that any other day that is a try, in any other scenario with anyone else making the tackle. Saying he had no right in itself is a compliment to how good he is as a player.
Ireland have SO many world class players, too many to name, but Antoine Dupont is a Richie McCaw/Dan Carter God-level rugby player, once in a generation. Whoever wins this game in the World Cup wins the tournament, both absolutely brilliant teams
C'est un de nos meilleurs joueurs en France. Bravo à l'Irlande pour cette très belle victoire. La France n'a pas démérité cependant mais l'Irlande hier était plus forte.
It's what he doesn't do that seems most striking about this tackle. I think most players instinct would be finding a way to somehow bundle Hanson into touch. Which wouldn't have worked given distance to the touchline and the size difference between the two players. Instead Dupont picks an option more akin to wrestling, leveraging his bodyweight at the right angle to hold the player up whilst the cavalry arrives. Split second thinking and instinct. Amazing.
This is the footage Canterbury needs to use for their next ad campaign: Our jersey's have been *throughly tested* and are truly *untearable* ! Congrats to Ireland, they deserve that #1 spot and I can only hope to see them or France win the World Cup (just so the English can finally stop saying "we are the only northern hemisphere team to have won the world cup blabla" 🤣)
I started getting into Rugby when I went to Paris France last year when the Rugby World Cup was in session. Man this sport is amazing and truly underrated 🙌
Je pensais initialement que l'Irlande avait vraiment dominé la France ... Après avoir revu le match j'ai constaté que sa n'avais pas du tout était le cas mais j'ai plutôt trouvé un combat équilibré entre deux grosses équipes comme l'année dernière à Paris finalement...

C'était un match entre les deux premières nations du rugby.

Franchement, les français n'ont pas été ridicules, on peut les battre si on trouve la solution pour les contester dans les rucks...sans se mettre à la faute. Ce sera la mission de mister Sean lors de la prochain CDM si on doit se les caleter.
GG Ireland, from a french loving rugby guy. I am aware of my ingroup bias so I can admit that you deserve that victory, a bit to wide though. A beautyful match, not boring, even for one minute. The main goal is that England don't win this tournament or the next worldcup.😉
One excuse (a quite bad one). French people are trying to kick Macron out today, so I can't help to think that it was also in the mind of the french players.👅
That is the textbook definition of not giving up on a play. But give props to Ramos too, he was out of the play from the beginning and got back. It would have been easy to assume that Hansen was going to score.
I’m not even a Rugby afficionado but that is one of the best sporting plays I’ve ever seen. I’ll add I’ve been looking up DuPont’s weight cos I’m roughly the same height and he came up as 187lbs. I’ve gone through weight fluctuations and there’s no way he’s that. He is at minimum 210lbs.
It was a great tackle but this green team is so powerful and even it's not beautiful during 80 min, it's efficient! Gongrats Ireland from france! You are 1st in world and it's normal!
Yeah. With a wee difference : Jerome Kaino's size 😂. It's just for banter, Kaino is one of my idols. Dupont is something else, a beast... I have no words.
That was one of the best tackles I've ever seen and I'm Irish. 😅
What a match, see you in final im french :o
Bigtime. Unbelievable strength, great team the French, nice to get one over them now and again.

This aged weakly
I think Penaud, Flament, Jaminet and Jalibert should have their share, they complete this amazing team and all the other players too but those 4 are underrated
He's one of a kind
You can see Hansen thinking 'WTF!'
What gets me is, he doesn’t even have his hands locked. He’s putting all that through his grip on that shirt. Incredible.
Smaller, weighs less, more determination. Beast!!
He weighs more and he's stronger
@@pookiewookie7679 Antoine Dupont weighs 84gks, while Hansen weighs 89kgs.

Dupont is unreal !! ( From an Irishman)
I thought this was an invisible wall in a video game, turns out it was Antoine Dupont.
What a player!
Antoine Dupont is just a phenomenon. His the best player of his generation without a doubt
That was THE best tackle I’ve ever seen
Le meilleur sauvetage d'essai jamais réalisé. Bravo Dupont
As an Irish man this was one of the best take,s I’ve ever seen
Just amazing strength and pure desire. We love rugby 🏉
Best 9 in the world. Amazing.
If Dupont keeps up this insanity, he might well go down as the best ever to play the game. There's nothing he can't do!

He's good but has a job to catch up with the great BOD! ;-)

You know its a great tackle when a pub in the Republic filled with Saffas jump up shouting and clapping. Great tackle in a great game.
What an absolute mad lad🇨🇵
Great tackle, good hold of hansen then great footing and power thru to hold him back , we need more of this but only few can do it
What I like in the British commentators is that they are fair and recognize talent and skills even though the guy s not British…👍
Size doesnt matter when your mental is stronger. Btw, Dupont is one of the hardest international player to tackle.
It is not mental.. He is very strong. You can be small and strong.
I started getting into Rugby when I went to Paris France last year when the Rugby World Cup was in session. Man this sport is amazing and truly underrated 🙌
And that wasn't the only one, he held Connor Murray back from dotting down as well causing him to drop the ball on the line
Incredible, what a player
As a Welsh scrum half, he is my role model for playing. I wish I could be half as good as DuPont.
Along with the rest of the game,this was awesome 👍👍
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think Antoine Dupont is a fairly decent rugby player.
Yeah - he's not bad! ;-)
Nah that's outrageous who do you think you are coming up with utter nonsense like that you silly buffoon
He should not be the last chosen when one made the team in sport.
I'm starting to come round to the idea that he's actually moderately effective.
I've come to the point I might start noticing him when he's on the pitch
Incredible !!! Wow !!! Just incredible !!! 😮👏🔥
It was a Greek Roman 's fight technique....simply stunning
That was magnificent. Hung onto him well and got his body in a powerful position to lever against Hansen.
He's just annoyingly too good 😂
same feeling when Wilkinson was playing against France, He was really annoying lol
He's going to be IRB player of the year again
he deserve it ! He should have it last year, he's the Messi of rugby!!
He's french, it's minus 1000 points in world rugby ranking...
