Je n'ai jamais vu un joueur avec une humilité pareil. Le mec ne se prend jamais la tête c'est le meilleur joueur au monde et honnêtement je pense qu'il devrait donner des cours à certain footballeur. C'est pour ça qu'on l'aime déjà pour le jeu et d'avoir remonter l'équipe de France à ce niveau. Allez les Bleus. Allez la France

[@Benboy1980]

Here is the thing, I’m English and I remember being 23 yrs old and watching my boys lift the trophy. Wilkinson was our man, you just had that feeling he could do it. Ireland have it with Sexton. But there is a part of me that wants the French to win. Home soil. The sheer love and passion for the game. And with DuPont, they have a talisman, there will never be a better opportunity. I wish our friends over the channel all the luck in the world, it is your time. Show us what you can do. And if we are lucky…one of us may get to the final, and taste the glory 🫡

[@pierreplessis973]

Thanks for that kind comment ! What I love above all un rugby is the mutual respect from differents teams and the same perception on greatness as we are witnessing with Antoine Dupont. As a french, i would love my team to lift the ultimate trophy but I wish too England to get on the top form to have the best crunches ever

[@clairau]

French supporter here. I don't know if France will win the WC. I hope they will, of course, but there will be such a huge opposition from everywhere. For instance there is no doubt in my mind that England will have recovered in the meantime. They always do. In any case you are right when pointing out the'sheer love and passion for the game' we feel on this side of the Channel, especially in the Sud ouest. And I take this opportunity, as anyone should do, to express extreme gratitude to the British for having invented such a wonderful sport.

Not only the best player of this sport since 3 years, but above all, a good lad with a perfect mentality. Without his work ethic, he wouldnt have make this comeback. His talent would be nothing without a solid character. I think his injury helped him to redefine himself. He became more complete and intelligent in his runs, defence and attack.

For those who may be unaware, he received the prestigious title of Best Rugby Player of the Year in 2021. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there was no formal ceremony held, which explains the absence of any footage from the event. Pour ceux qui ne le savent peut-être pas, il a reçu le prestigieux titre de meilleur joueur de rugby de l'année en 2021.

Donc Galthié en fait avait commenté le match au cours duquel Dupont se plie le genou et lorsqu'il est sélectionneur que fait-il? Il fait jouer Dupont à tous les matchs, 80 minutes pleines sans aucune rotation. Bref, c'est du Galthié dans le texte. Quand on a une flanquée de demi de mêlées parmi les meilleurs au Monde c'est quasi une faute professionnelle de ne jamais faire tourner. Et Dupont n'est pas le seul cas de figure malheureusement.

[@almcdonald8676]

I do wonder if a minimum level of ppe should be at least optional in rugby like soft helmets, chest and shoulder padding and knee straps or something. Don’t know what the evidence is in support of them but anything that reduces the risk of injury without endangering other players (eg a hard helmet) seems like decency really. At least until rugby players are paid like footballers
