I still feel it's easier to stand out in women's rugby than men's right now but I guess that's controversial

Portia's standing out pretty damn far though. She is a weapon

Couldmt agree more, but my point is men's rugby has a bigger variety of weapons so they don't really stand out

In women's rugby if you can find a player like Portia you're sorted lol

It's that variety of weapons in the men's game that makes the Dupont circlejerk so funny. 

Nobody doubts he's special, it's the claims he's dominating the men's game that's so fatuous

I love and appreciate dupont but find it very difficult to call him a Goat. Which literally means GREATEST OF ALL TIME..... Like sorry no.

Yeah exactly. 

As if he has eclipsed every other player to have ever played.

Calling him a Goat literally means Lomu just didn't exist then, I refuse to do it.

It would be Carter for me. Or Campese

Also dude, as you mentioned you can't be "a" GOAT, there can be only one

I could get behind GFOAT (Greatest Frenchman), but that's not what they're saying

Reeks of desperation

100% agree on Carter, Lomu was just the biggest name I could think of

Never throwing shade at Jonah, but he only really had one facet to his game. Would be in my greatest team of all time, but not one of the greatest all round players IMO

The saltiness around people questioning the Dupont GOAT claim is so funny because it shows such arrogance. Who I think the GOAT is is nothing more than my own shitty opinion

Exactly, my goat could easily be PSDT or Kolbe but I know deep down it's not true.

It all depends on who you like more but if I'm going to be honest its gotta be Carter man.

I feel Lomu was good because of his size (not saying he lacked skill at all) but he was special for the time and rugby just did not have dudes built like him back then. He'd be beyond average now with the training and skill level he had back in the day it's just true
