Antoine Dupont, the “GOAT” of rugby? Not for an All Blacks

Antoine Dupont, many consider him to be the best player in the world currently (others prefer Cheslin Kolbe, especially since his great performance in England on Saturday). Some even speak of the Toulouse player as the best player of all time. But again, not everyone necessarily agrees.

Caleb Clarke, present on the pitch at the Stade de France to face the Blues, did not hide his admiration for the French scrum-half in front of the press: “I have a lot of respect for this guy, I think it was the first time I met him. Just before, I said he wouldn't dump me, but I didn't even see it coming. I wondered where he came from!” Caleb Clarke was able to see Dupont's magic at work up close, and he was a victim of it.

The GOAT Dupont? Not for Clarke

If there is no doubt about the respect for the player, does Caleb Clarke believe that Dupont is the “GOAT” of rugby? The All Black has a ready-made answer in this debate, and it goes neither towards the Frenchman nor towards Kolbe: “For me, the best player is always Richie McCaw, until someone can really surpass him. Yes, we'll see how it goes, but for now, it's him.”
