00:00 So Harry Pages has asked which player am I most looking forward to watching at the World Cup?
00:04 Well for me, the most exciting player that's been in the Northern Hemisphere
00:08 and probably the world over the last couple of years, he's French, the World Cup's in France,
00:12 he's their skipper, Anton Dupont is an absolute world star, so I cannot wait to see him lead the French team,
00:18 hopefully not to victory because that'll be England, but I can't wait to see his impact on the World Cup.
00:22 At home World Cup he's a global superstar, Anton Dupont's the man.
00:26 If I was looking at a player from Wales, I'd really like the looks of Mason Grady,
00:30 I think he's a Warren Gatlin type player, he's got a bit of X Factor about him, big, physical, fast,
00:35 can play centre of wing, really looking forward to seeing Mason Grady.
00:38 If I'm looking at any player in general, I think the world's best player last year,
00:43 and I think he's one of the world's best players this year as well, is Ardi Sivaya,
00:46 and Shannon Frizzell, who plays sixth in the back row of New Zealand alongside Ardi Sivaya,
00:51 has had a stunning championship with New Zealand of late as well,
00:55 so some of their back row options are freaky good, and I can't wait to see those two in tight at the Rugby World Cup.
