Jalibert Is Better Than Dupont (For Now) - And Rugby Fans Refuse to Hear That!

Описание: Why do rugby fans make up their minds about players and then refuse to update them? In this episode of Loose Pass, Huw takes aim at one of the most stubborn habits in rugby discourse, using the current form of Jalibert versus Dupont as the flashpoint. This is not about crowning a forever best player. It is a challenge to actually watch what is happening right now and to be open to changing your view.

The conversation goes wider than one debate. We look back at the rugby moments that stayed with us this year, why watching the game live hits differently, Huw’s experience in Bordeaux, and what the human cost of the game looks like away from the highlights. We also look ahead with curiosity rather than predictions, because rugby and the people who play it never stand still.

Join the Megafoon Rugby! community and step into an alternate rugby universe where a new generation of voices brings a fresh perspective on the game we love. We mix rugby, philosophy, business, storytelling, and other unexpected corners of life to create insights and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

Our team of hosts connects South Africa to the wider rugby world. MW Welman anchors the conversation, bringing clarity and curiosity. Harry Jones tells the stories that capture the heart of the game, Huw Griffin brings deep insight from the Northern Hemisphere, André Pretorius breaks down the technical side like no one else, and our Afrikaans channel features CJ van der Linde and Arrie Hougaard offering expert analysis and local flavour.

With over 27,000 fans already part of the community, Megafoon Rugby and Raakvat Rugby are more than just rugby channels. They're part of a conversation that spans continents, challenges conventional thinking, and celebrates rugby in all its complexity!
