In the week there is a NFL -ALOO Super Bowl, Live Further Sky SportsDupont has been compared to Kansas City Chiefs Mahomes striker, who many already believe are among the biggest players of American football of all time.
“He is [Dupont] best. I think everyone admitted that, “Wigglesworth said Sky Sports. “He is complete and strong in each area. I never saw a guy get out of the problem like him.
“Someone thinks they got it or a ball ejects their backs, it’s almost where it comes to life. It’s quite rare. [like Patrick Mahomes]. You think the play is dead and not. That’s a good comparison.
“How to stop him? If the coaches had a answer to that, then they would make a lot of money, right? It’s a team effort to stop him because it doesn’t stop him, it’s stopping what’s going on around him.
“Because he’s good in small spaces. If you give him time and space, then you won’t have much chance.
“I certainly had many defects [as a scrum-half]But it’s pretty complete. He triggers both legs, is strong, fast, competitive, manages the game well. There is no area where you think, “He misses him here.”
France heads to London in Finn Fettle and look back at their form in 2023. Wigglesworth admits that this weekend is one of the biggest challenges in sports that are currently hosts.
“It’s up there. I think they were, along with Ireland, a mass favorite for the tournament. The first are two big ones. We get a team that is huge in the talent but also in the path,” he said.
“We know how big the attackers are, so what is the physical challenge to go after them, to try and stop this type [Dupont] Playing nine of in Build, who is pretty good.
“They are big men, but we have our own guys who are incredibly dynamic and athletic. We’ll get to know that head.”
France inflicted a record defeat of a house in England when they last met in this place two years ago, reaching seven attempts on the way to the demolition of 53-10.
“Don’t talk,” Wigglesworth said on the eve of Saturday’s showdown.
“Two years, different teams, different times. Each test match is different, so we will be sure that this is not repeated.
“We need to win. If we’re going to cause an end, we have to win.”
Since defeating Ireland in Twickenham in last year’s six countries, England has lost seven of its next nine, often handing over the leadership of the second half.

“That’s worry because we start the games well and then we don’t finish them.
“It’s not a single thing. We don’t look at the boys thinking they aren’t fit enough. They’re in good condition.
“We have made basic mistakes and disciplines that have made a really good team (Ireland) on the field. When continuing to repeat these mistakes and give teams in their 22, they will risk.
“[Fitness is] It’s not a problem. The team can run, they are in a good place. We have historical data from the test matches that date in years and years, so we know where they are and what they can do. This is definitely not a problem. Many lessons are learned between autumn and then last week.
“We had an incredibly difficult series of games and we had incredibly close results we didn’t go over the line.
“We would avoid not watching why, but there are good things in what we do. It grows. It must now turn into victory, we know.”
