Pierre Brousset et Éric Gauzins sont les deux seuls représentants de l’arbitrage français sur le Rugby Championship 2024 qui se déroule du 10 août au 28 septembre en Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Afrique du Sud et Argentine.

Ce sera une grande première pour les deux officiels de match français qui vivront là leur première participation sur ce tournoi du Sud. Pierre Brousset sera au sifflet et Éric Gauzins à la vidéo.

Par cette sélection – une équipe de 12 arbitres venant de 7 pays différents – World Rugby entame un processus de sélection des meilleurs officiels de match de la planète rugby en vue de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 en Australie et au-delà.

« Le nouveau plan stratégique que nous avons mis en place vise à renforcer la profondeur de notre équipe, et cette sélection en est un parfait exemple », estime Brett Robinson, Président des Sélectionneurs des Officiels de Match de Haute Performance Emirates World Rugby.

« La sélection compte 11 débutants, ce qui est vraiment remarquable. Pour eux comme pour nous, il s’agit d’un processus dont l’objectif va au-delà de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027. Certains visent à être au meilleur de leur forme pour l’Australie, tandis que pour tous, nous sommes là pour les soutenir dans l’atteinte de leurs objectifs. C’est très motivant. »

Pour Joël Jutge, le patron des arbitres à World Rugby, « la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 est un objectif important, tout comme la tournée des British and Irish Lions et les débuts du Championnat des Nations (en 2026, ndlr). Nous avons également un œil sur la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2031 et sur l’élargissement du nombre de nations représentées.

« En progressant et en offrant aux nouveaux membres de l’équipe la possibilité d’acquérir de l’expérience, il est important de se souvenir que nous mettons en œuvre une stratégie à long terme dans le cadre d’un calendrier international révisé à partir de 2026. »

Matchs où officiera Pierre Brousset

Samedi 31 août : Argentine vs. Australie à Buenos Aires, Argentine (arbitre assistant)
Samedi 7 septembre : Argentine vs. Australie à Santa Fé, Argentine (arbitre central)

Matchs où officiera Éric Gauzins

Mick Cleary: 'Borthwick needs to have faith in Marcus Smith'

England yet again fluffed their lines against the All Blacks when they had built a comfortable lead and questions are being asked

Borthwick, it's time to own up – Andy Goode

I'm flabbergasted that our pundits are so obsessed with a poor substitution and have failed to notice the only time we got anywhere near the tryline was an interception. England have no attack. It's a shambles and it's exactly what I've always expected from Borthers and the Wiggler.

Borthwick, it's time to own up – Andy Goode

Borthers should go. He hasn't got what it takes. England's defence was the only thing we had going for us with Felix Jones and Borthers couldn't keep him. Set piece is ok. Our attack is AWFUL and he's shown zero sign of trying to do anything about it.

And what do you call a professional grade. Explain how you would coach them. It's very obvious you've been there done that. So let us all into your secret

It's got nothing to do with Slade.

It doesn't matter who you put in what shirt, they have no attacking gameplan except chasing kicks. The whole backline is muddled and static.

Agree. England's defence was passionate but poorly organised and their attack was terrible. England have gone backwards. We created nothing and NZ made a lot of clean line breaks.

Completely and utterly agree mate. The whole George Ford kick substitution issue pales into significance compared to the issue that we didn't get anywhere near the bloody tryline except with an interception. Our attack is nonexistent. If we're only getting a maximum of 3 points on an entry to the red zone it doesn't matter who's on the damn bench! Borthers and Wigglesworth spent their careers trotting after kicks and taking set pieces, that's how they think rugby should be played. The scoreline was incredibly flattering, England were poor.

Borthwick, it's time to own up – Andy Goode

You can’t knock the defence.

The entire England defence was on the wrong side of the break down.

England conceded three tries. There defence was poor. And they only scored one (intercept) try. So their much lauded attack was also poor.

England are worse than they were last year.

Mick Cleary: 'Borthwick needs to have faith in Marcus Smith'

That's what you get with Smith! He's still a player who is more likely to provide a moment of brilliance than a well structured attack.

Meanwhile Ford is someone who will give you brilliant phase play throughout a test match, but he's not fast enough to properly take advantage of a tired defence in the last 20 minutes.

Picking Smith to start and Ford off the bench, rather than the other way around, or giving either one of them the full 80, is a baffling decision.

Everyone is saying the same thing after agonising England loss

I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the next England team meeting.

Reckon Felix Jones will keep his camera off ”to save bandwidth”.

This is going to be a tough old match at Scottish gas stadium.

The boks will need to be sharp and well prepared. Can’t be complacent.

But then they can relax for their easy game against England.

Mick Cleary: 'Borthwick needs to have faith in Marcus Smith'

I think everyone is aware that Ford is poor defensively. He's actually improved significantly recently, and looked really strong in the tackle in the six nations, but still I think if we're judging fly-halves purely on their defence, Ford is a long way off the standard set by Farrell, Smith, and Smith.

But that isn't why he keeps getting picked. Its because of what an incredible attacking fly-half he's been for over a decade.

Jake White: It isn't only the All Blacks who have lost their aura

"If the Boks are not switched on 100% against the top 8/9 teams, they could lose." This applies to every other team as well, not just the Boks

England internationals disagree on final play execution vs All Blacks

At no point with 12 minutes to go, if you paused the game and said to everyone that it’s going to come down to a moment at the end, a five-metre scrum and a drop goal to win it, everyone would have gone ‘Nah, England will see this out.’

Half the problem I think. Complacency.

Mick Cleary: 'Borthwick needs to have faith in Marcus Smith'

The reason that Borthwick is currently escaping more intense scrutiny Is simply because of the recent exodus from his coaching team, with Aled Walters and Felix jones choosing to jump ship, the RFU can't now appear to be doubting the wisdom of Borthwicks appointment.

If England do end up with a 50% win ratio from this series, then surely questions must be asked.
