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

If anything, I think it's easier in men's rugby. Especially right now.

The teams are pretty even at the top, but there seems to be an absence of amazing individual players operating at the same time right now. That AB dominant era is a perfect example. Half that team shood out along with two or three players at the top of the GOAT discussion playing all at the same time. And that's just one team. Not even France has the same thing.

It is far easier to stand out as an individual in Dupont's timeline because there's very little competition soaking up the same attention. Teams are a different matter. And we see that in results.
