Le troisième ligne du Stade toulousain Anthony Jelonch, victime d’une rupture d’un ligament croisé du genou droit en janvier, a annoncé lundi qu’il rejouera « d’ici deux à trois semaines ».

« J’ai repris l’entrainement il y a deux semaines donc je pense que d’ici deux à trois semaines je serai sur les terrains. Il me tarde un peu », a déclaré l’international français aux 29 sélections qui pourrait reprendre face à La Rochelle le 15 septembre ou à Montpellier le 21 septembre.

« Si ce n’est pas un de ces deux, ça sera le prochain. Là je n’ai pas de pression pour reprendre », a ajouté Jelonch, qui s’exprimait lors de la conférence de presse de rentrée de la Ligue nationale de rugby (LNR).

Près d’un an après avoir subi la même blessure au genou gauche, le Toulousain s’est rompu le ligament croisé antérieur du genou droit en janvier lors de la victoire du Stade toulousain face à Bath (31-19) en Champions Cup.

Il n’a pas rejoué depuis, manquant le Tournoi des six nations avec le XV de France et le doublé Champions Cup/Top 14 avec le Toulouse.

« Dans ma tête j’ai l’impression d’être prêt »

« Les sensations sont bonnes, j’avais déjà eu cette blessure l’an dernier donc je la connaissais bien. Dans ma tête j’ai l’impression d’être prêt. Mais on s’était dit qu’on allait passer un mois, un mois et demi à bien s’entrainer avant de reprendre », a expliqué le troisième ligne.

S’il retrouve le XV toulousain en septembre, Jelonch, 28 ans, peut entrevoir un retour en équipe de France lors de la tournée de novembre où les Bleus défieront le Japon, la Nouvelle-Zélande puis l’Argentine.

« On verra comment je reprends, mais la première fois j’avais de bonnes sensations sur le terrain donc je me dis que ça va être pareil. Si je fais de bons matchs et que je mérite d’être appelé, bien sûr que je serai content d’y aller », a-t-il conclu.

The Fergus Burke test and rugby's free market

I can guarantee that none of the three would have got a chance with Ireland in the state they arrived from NZ.

Why would you think they would?

Two of them were at Leinster and were bench-warmers when they arrived

Sometimes you can be beyond stupid JW.

Haha look who's talking! Hello? Can you just read what you wrote about Leinster to yourself again please lol

It took prob four seasons to get James Lowe's defence up to the required standard to play international footy. If Jacob Stockdale had not experienced a big slump in form he might not have gotten the chance at all.

I'm really not sure why you're making this point. Do you think Ireland are a better team than the All Blacks, where those players would have been straight in? This is like ground hog day the movie with you. Can you not remember much of the discussions, having so many readers/commentors? Yup, 26/7/8 would have been the perfect age for them to have been capped by NZ as well.


Actually, they would obviously have been capped given an opportunity earlier (where they were ineligible to for Ireland).


TTT, who was behind JGP at the Hurricanes, got three AB caps after a couple of further seasons acting as a backup SR player, once JGP left of course. In case you didn't see yourself contradicting your own comments above, JGP was just another player who became first choice for Ireland while 2nd (or even 3rd/outside the 23 in recent cases) for Leinster. And fair enough, no one is suggesting JGP would have surpassed TJP in three or four years either. He would have been an All Black though, and unlike in your Leinster example, similar performances from him would have seen TJP move on earlier to make way for him. Not limited him like he was in Ireland. That's just the advantage of the way they can only afford so many. Hell, one hit wonders like Seta Tamanivalu and Malakai Fekitoa got rocketed into the jersey at the time.


So not just him. Aki and Lowe both would have had opportunities, as you must know has been pointed out by now. It's true that the adversity of having to move to Ireland added a nice bit of mongrel to their game though, along with their typical development.


Aki looked comfortable as the main 12 in his first two seasons, he was fortunate SBW went back to league for a season you could say, but as a similar specialist he ultimate had to give the spot back again on his return. There's certainly no doubt he would have returned and flourished with coachs like Rennie, Wayne Smith, and Andrew Strawbridge, even Tom Coventry. All fair for him to take up an immediate contract instead of wait a year of course though.


It's just whatever the point of your comments are meant to make, your idea that these players wouldn't have achieved high honors in NZ is simply very shortsighted and simplistic. I can only think you are making incorrect conclusions about this topic because of this mistake. As a fan, Aki was looking to be the Nonu replacement for me, but instead the country had the likes of Laumape trying to fill those boots with him available. Ditto with Lowe once Rieko moved to center.
