In an interview for RugbyPass, former Irish starter and current La Rochelle coach Ronan O’Gara didn’t say all the Blues captain’s clever ideas:

“There’s nobody in any team like Antoine Dupont. It’s too good. It has like an enigma, an anomaly. When he doesn’t have the ball, he has the strength of a striker. He has the defense of a center, the speed of a winger, the intelligence of a starter. I hate him clearly because he’s from Toulouse (laughs) and he’s very strong. It hurts me a lot, but I appreciate everything he is as a rugby player. It’s far away “For me it’s more than a phenomenon. He may only beat one country. For this team it’s Zidane. “
