There were many different answers by different rugby fans to this question. Many said Maro Itoje, a few mentioned Stuart Hogg or Finn Russell. But Aaron Smith piped up with a response to this tweet which I’m sure surprised many.
There has long been a debate about who the best in the world is over the past two years. Aaron Smith seems to think Dupont in many ways is actually better than him
@Dupont9A this guy is on another level! No one is near him atm. He’s the point of difference for both his Club and country. He’s helping me look at parts of my game to improve #Respect #9Gang
