Ce qu'il faut savoir sur Australie v Géorgie

L’Australie et la Géorgie, respectivement 9e et 11e  nation mondiale s’affrontent pour le premier match de la poule C de cette Coupe du Monde de Rugby. La rencontre a lieu au stade de France, à peine 24 h après le match d’ouverture entre la France et la Nouvelle-Zélande.

HISTORIQUE DE CONFRONTATION

Les deux équipes ne se sont affrontées qu’une fois auparavant, lors du dernier match de la poule D lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2019 au Japon. La rencontre s’est déroulée au Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa, à Fukuroi, devant 40 000 spectateurs.

UN MATCH MÉMORABLE

Le score final indique que l’Australie a battu la Géorgie sur le score de 27-8, au Japon en 2019 et que les Wallabies ont empoché le point de bonus offensif. Ce que le score final ne nous dit pas, c’est l’incroyable performance défensive réalisée par la Géorgie et à quel point ils ont rendu la tâche difficile aux Wallabies décrocher la victoire.

En chiffres : lors des 34 premières minutes, les Lelos ont effectué 124 plaquages, ne permettant à l’Australie de mener seulement 10-3 à la mi-temps. Leur incroyable effort s’est poursuivi en seconde mi-temps, puisqu’à 10 minutes de la fin du match, le score n’était que de 17-8. Les deux essais de son équipe en fin de partie ont permis au sélectionneur Michael Cheika, à la tête de l’Argentine lors de l’édition 2023, d’arriver conférence de presse avec un un peu de positif.

LE POINT CLÉ

À l’orée de cette Coupe du Monde, l’Australie reste sur cinq défaites consécutives. L’équipe ne s’est toujours pas imposée depuis le retour d’Eddie Jones au poste, plutôt instable, de sélectionneur en janvier dernier. Jones affiche une certaine sérénité face à la presse, mais la Géorgie, seulement deux places derrière l’Australie au classement mondial (powered by Capgemini) et dont l’ambition d’intégrer de Six Nations dure depuis plusieurs années, pourrait créer la surprise.

LE DUEL

Ben Donaldson v Davit Niniashvili. Auparavant, ne pas mentionner les avants de la Géorgie aurait été sacrilège dans le rugby. Mais aujourd’hui, leurs trois quarts font les gros titres, notamment l’ailier lyonnais Niniashvili. Il faudra garder un œil sur les deux triangles d’arrières. La chaleur annoncée samedi à Saint-Denis pourrait influer sur la fatigue des joueurs et sur le résultat

L’INCROYABLE STAT

Lors de la dernière et seule rencontre entre ces deux équipes, la légende géorgienne Mamuka Gorgodze fêtait son 75e et dernier match pour les Lelos et participait à sa quatrième Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Le deuxième ligne à passé 75 minutes sur le terrain dans le registre que l’on lui connaît, à la pointe du combat d’un incroyable effort défensif.

L’ARBITRE

Luke Pearce (RFU). C’est le premier match de Pearce pour sa troisième Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Pour sa première, en 2015, lui et son père Andrew étaient quatrième et cinquième officiels pour un match de poule entre l’Italie et la Roumanie.

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

Do you hear yourself? Do you have any concept of world view? Have you tried looking into why people call Ireland ‘arrogant’? Obviously not.


We started calling you arrogant when you called our captain a ‘shit Richie McCaw’. In New Zealand. On our turf. Don’t think that kind of behaviour really calls for respect, does it.


NZ don’t really talk ourselves up, if anything the rugby does it for us. No kiwi goes in the media and says: ‘We are gonna win the RWC’. However, I have found many instance of IRISH media saying that the Irish should win, without a doubt. THAT is disrespectful.


The All Blacks have played good rugby, even some of the best rugby ever, at many points in history, but I don’t think you could find a single instance of one of those players, or the NZ media, saying that they should whitewash their opponents. Ever.


Now, onto your analysis. Ireland DID choke the QF. They beat the champions, they were ranked first coming into it, a lot of players at the peaks of their powers. Its hard to say that they didn’t choke. Obviously, their preparation was just not as good as NZ, and thats all there really is to it.


If Ireland had repsected that ABs team and that QF more, maybe they would’ve prepared properly for it and won. But they didn’t.


Maybe if Ireland had won their QF last RWC, they wouldn’t have to be in the same pool as SA and Scotland. I mean, its called a draw for a reason. NZ got third last RWC, so of course they should get a reasonable pool, and they were ranked pretty highly too. If you want to talk about easy pools, look no further than Pool 3 with England, Australia, Fiji, and Georgia I think?


Now, obviously you don’t remember how that QF ended, so I’ll go ahead and rectify that. Ireland reclaimed the ball off kickoff and marched for 20ish phases into the opposition half. Savea then won a turnover, but the referee refused to give it, so play went on. Finally, at the NZ 22, after not giving up a single penatly in 25 phases of hard defense, Sam Whitelock, the most capped All Black of all time, wins the game with an incredible steal.


Now, NZ players having a go at Ireland. Do you cry when you get hit after making the first swing? We all know Sexton is a prick on the field, its just the truth. And Ioane never backs down from a clash, so he thought he should humble a player who has never won an international knockout game who thought he was all that. Don’t really see the issue, its poetic justice really.
