Angleterre : l’ailier Feyi-Waboso va manquer le Tournoi des Six Nations

Il y a 78 jours

L’ailier anglais Immanuel Feyi-Waboso manquera l’intégralité du Tournoi des Six Nations en raison d’une luxation de l’épaule contractée en club avec Exeter le mois dernier. Feyi-Waboso va devoir subir une intervention chirurgicale sur son articulation endommagée contre Sale le 21 décembre, ce qui l’empêchera de jouer pendant environ trois mois.

Le joueur de 22 ans est l’une des principales menaces offensives du XV de la Rose, avec qui il a inscrit cinq essais en huit matchs. S’il avait été apte, il aurait été sans aucun doute sélectionné et aligné pour le match des Anglais dans le Tournoi 2025, contre l’Irlande le 1er février.

Outre le Tournoi, durant lequel le sélectionneur Steve Borthwick espère faire oublier une tournée d’automne médiocre en matière de résultats, Feyi-Waboso va également manquer une chance de briller en vue de la tournée estivale des Lions britanniques et irlandais.

Feyi-Waboso déjà absent en novembre

Andy Farrell dirigera les Lions en Australie cet été, et le joueur des Chiefs faisait figure de favori pour l’un des trois postes du triangle arrière au vu de ce qu’il a démontré depuis ses débuts internationaux, durant le Tournoi des Six Nations 2024.

Il avait déjà manqué les test-matchs de novembre contre l’Afrique du Sud et le Japon après avoir subi une commotion cérébrale contre l’Australie. Son absence est une tuile supplémentaire pour le ‘back three’ de l’Angleterre, qui devra sans doute se passer de George Furbank au moins pour le début de la compétition (bras cassé).

Ollie Sleightholme et Tom Roebuck se disputeront le poste vacant sur l’aile, bien que le premier ait terminé la rencontre Northampton – Bath en boitant, dimanche.

Borthwick annoncera les joueurs retenus pour le Tournoi mardi prochain. Le sélectionneur est attendu au tournant après une année 2024 décevante.

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

Touring NZ is a golden opportunity for every one of the French players that take the field to nail themselves into the squad. What better opportunity is there than to stand out for all the right reasons than a Test match in NZ? Any that manage to achieve that will only enhance the pool of talent available for ‘27.

NZR knew exactly when the Top14 final was when they signed the tour contract.

How centurion Sara Barattin helped propel Italy to new heights

Lovely, lovely player. At her peak she was dynamic and difficult and always played with a smile. You got the feeling that as well as her teammates the opposition also respected her.

Partially correct. NZ needs to get on with being the lead in developing the Pacific 6N and monetising Japan - and developing their competitiveness. That will enable all the financial support you mention.

As for France, it’s not about “caring”, it’s about money and the club owners provide their money to drive their club agenda. Period. French rugby is a beast and your JIFF point is well made but SA is a beast also that’s now awake and England is a sleeping beast that is financially stricken. SA will make up a 7N and that will drive all 3 to new levels. The Irish, Scottish and welsh clubs are all union owned and will continue to struggle keeping up but the 7N revenue boost will help, as the SA involvement in the URC is doing currently.

EPL is entirely different, football has followed its own path in allowing the league to detach and is an extreme example of what happens when the clubs are allowed to call the shots across the board. Not a path that rugby will follow fortunately.

How John Mitchell is giving Red Roses a purpose in 2025

I’m not sure many agree with you on this one, Rugby Pass made her their player of the match last week and the comments on the BBC website, although mixed, were lauding her attributes. Her running lines are really good and incisive, very good passing range and her defence is better than ok. I do like her as an option and she would probably go to the RWC as a specialist FB and understudy. EK struggled against Canada at WXV because they doubled up on her every time and took away her space, why not give teams something different to defend?

Andy Farrell answers burning Owen Farrell Lions question

Kinghorn and Willis should join after the Top14 final. O Farrell has been average all year and RC92 wants rid of him, he has no pace and is too dominant a character (like Ford) without the skills to back it up. Take the two Finns and Blair Kinghorn and all will be good.

Started well but wobbled when you mentioned Irish club money (it’s all union owned with state help) and lost it completely talking about offshore accounts.

That said, NZ have been phenomenally good at what they’ve done but it’s become a lot more difficult to be out in front and that isn’t going to change for them. They need to focus on the pacific 6N and monetise Japan but SA are the powerhouse and will stay that way when they monetise their certain involvement in a 7N comp, which will also boost English and French resources!

No I don’t. Point me to any discontent from the French about this? Sure the players have understandably said they’d love to go but that’s the sum total of it on the NH side. Everyone understands the decision making dynamic and the factors driving it. As you’ve already conceded above, NZR were also aware of exactly what was coming.

Morgane Bourgeois’ Women's Six Nations notebook: The first edition

Interesting comment from Pauline Bourdon that France would have lost that match at WXV1. Does that mean that France have recovered their mojo and are once again potential worldbeaters?

Cooperation would be an interesting description of that relationship, the power sits with the money and that’s the club owners.
