Each player will have had, in his career, an opponent who will have had a greater impact on him than the others. For Dan Biggar, this is for example Jonathan Sexton. But the Welshman also wanted to pay tribute to a French international, who impressed him when he was able to meet him on the pitch: Antoine Dupont.

“He can do everything”

It's difficult to remain indifferent to the talent of the Stade Toulousain scrum half. And for Dan Biggar, who spoke in the BBC podcast “Scrum V Top 5”, the Frenchman is clearly one of the five greatest of his opponents, because he is a unique player of his kind to watch as a player, which is totally unpredictable. The Toulousain will leave a significant mark at the end of his career

In 20, 25 or 30 years, I will be proud to say that I played against Antoine Dupont. It's crazy to think that I had to play six, seven or eight times against him, that I beat teams he played on, that I lost against his teams too. At the moment, we don't realize it because we face it regularly. But he can do everything.

Players like him, we only see one per generation. When we analyze , the coach tells us: 'Dupont, there's no point in analyzing him. It's impossible.

To summarize

A great international rugby player did not hesitate to place Antoine Dupont in the Top 5 of the greatest opponents ever encountered on the field. The captain of the XV of impresses this player, who is fascinated by his unpredictable character.
