Like Dupont, Wales wing Josh Adams also makes a welcome return to international rugby after missing the summer tour and autumn internationals.
He says Dupont “can do everything” and is “probably the best player in the world”.
“It’s great to see him back in the competition, he’s like the star boy of the competition and rightfully so, he’s an unbelievable rugby player,” said Adams.
But like Gatland, Adams says Wales will not be drawn in on just him.
“If you focus too much energy on just one player, you lose track of the other 14 who are excellent,” added Adams.
“The team he has around him complement him really well, they have got a great power game, big forwards which suits his running game around the ruck.
“The majority of our time in camp so far has been about us, just focusing on how we want to attack this campaign and be positive with everything that we do.”
