Lors du point presse hebdomadaire des responsables de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby, Michel Poussau, directeur du tournoi de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 pour World Rugby, a cité quelques chiffres surprenants soulignant le succès de la compétition.

« Tout compris, on en est à plus d’un million de fans qui ont participé à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, que ce soit dans les stades ou dans les Villages Rugby », a-t-il évoqué.

« Parmi les autres chiffres, à ce jour nous avons vendu plus de maillots de l’équipe de France que nous avions vendu de maillots de l’équipe du Japon sur toute la durée du tournoi au Japon en 2019.

« Les audiences télévisées au Japon ont également battu des records : 13,8 millions de spectateurs ont regardé le match contre le Chili, 15% de plus que leur premier match et 30% de plus que le match contre l’Irlande en 2019, leur deuxième match de poule. »

Des chiffres complétés par Jacques Rivoal, président du GIP France 2023. « Nous avons enregistré 293 000 supporters supplémentaires dans les stades ce week-end et on arrive à 500 000 personnes dans les Villages sur l’ensemble du territoire, soit au total 724 000 spectateurs dans les stades depuis le début de la compétition. On peut souligner aussi les audiences ; partout on explose les chiffres de référence qui avaient été établis au Japon en 2019 et en Angleterre en 2015, parfois 30 à 40% de plus aux mêmes indicateurs. Il y a un engouement partout dans les stades et devant les écrans », a-t-il mentionné.

« Je suis très frappé par les chiffres des audiences TV. Le dernier match du Japon a fait 30% de plus que le match équivalent au Japon en 2019 à une heure d’audience qui n’était pas le même, du fait du décalage horaire.

« On peut même citer le chiffre de l’Allemagne, qui n’est pas un pays connu pour être un pays de rugby – 3,5 millions de spectateurs pour le match d’ouverture ; c’est plus que tous les matchs de la Coupe du Monde en 2019 retransmis sur les chaînes allemandes.

« Le patron de L’Equipe m’a dit que, le 9 septembre au lendemain du match d’ouverture, il a battu son record de vente de l’année. Il est pratiquement au niveau de ce qu’il avait connu pour la finale de la Coupe du monde de foot au Qatar entre la France et l’Argentine. Ces chiffres sont assez spectaculaires. On n’avait pas prévu de tels chiffres et on ne peut que s’en réjouir. »

Même les réseaux sociaux de World Rugby et RugbyPass battent des records avec plus de 500 millions de vues sur les contenus officiels et exclusifs postés et partagés sur les réseaux sociaux.

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

I rated Lowe well enough to be an AB. Remember we were picking the likes of George Bridge above such players so theres no disputing a lot of bad decisions have been made by those last two coaches. Does a team like the ABs need a finicky winger who you have to adapt and change a lot of your style with to get benefit from? No, not really. But he still would have been a basic improvement on players like even Savea at the tail of his career, Bridge, and could even have converted into the answer of replacing Beauden at the back. Instead we persisted with NMS, Naholo, Havili, Reece, all players we would have cared even less about losing and all because Rieko had Lowe's number 11 jersey nailed down.


He was of course only 23 when he decided to leave, it was back in the beggining of the period they had started retaining players (from 2018 onwards I think, they came out saying theyre going to be more aggressive at some point). So he might, all of them, only just missed out.


The main point that Ed made is that situations like Lowe's, Aki's, JGP's, aren't going to happen in future. That's a bit of a "NZ" only problem, because those players need to reach such a high standard to be chosen by the All Blacks, were as a country like Ireland wants them a lot earlier like that. This is basically the 'ready in 3 years' concept Ireland relied on, versus the '5 years and they've left' concept' were that player is now ready to be chosen by the All Blacks (given a contract to play Super, ala SBW, and hopefully Manu).


The 'mercenary' thing that will take longer to expire, and which I was referring to, is the grandparents rule. The new kids coming through now aren't going to have as many gp born overseas, so the amount of players that can leave with a prospect of International rugby offer are going to drop dramatically at some point. All these kiwi fellas playing for a PI, is going to stop sadly.


The new era problem that will replace those old concerns is now French and Japanese clubs (doing the same as NRL teams have done for decades by) picking kids out of school. The problem here is not so much a national identity one, than it is a farm system where 9 in 10 players are left with nothing. A stunted education and no support in a foreign country (well they'll get kicked out of those countries were they don't in Australia).


It's the same sort of situation were NZ would be the big guy, but there weren't many downsides with it. The only one I can think was brought up but a poster on this site, I can't recall who it was, but he seemed to know a lot of kids coming from the Islands weren't really given the capability to fly back home during school xms holidays etc. That is probably something that should be fixed by the union. Otherwise getting someone like Fakatava over here for his last year of school definitely results in NZ being able to pick the cherries off the top but it also allows that player to develop and be able to represent Tonga and under age and possibly even later in his career. Where as a kid being taken from NZ is arguably going to be worse off in every respect other than perhaps money. Not going to develop as a person, not going to develop as a player as much, so I have a lotof sympathy for NZs case that I don't include them in that group but I certainly see where you're coming from and it encourages other countries to think they can do the same while not realising they're making a much worse experience/situation.
