Senirusi Seruvakula, l’entraîneur par intérim des Flying Fijians, exprime des inquiétudes quant au retard dans la désignation du nouveau coach, craignant que cela ne compromette la préparation de l’équipe pour les prochains matchs contre les Barbarians (22 juin) et les All Blacks (19 juillet).

Seruvakula et Mick Byrne, le coach des Fijian Drua, sont candidats pour succéder à Simon Raiwalui. Celui-ci a quitté son poste après la Coupe du Monde de Rugby en France l’année dernière pour occuper un rôle important au sein de World Rugby. Raiwalui a participé au processus de sélection qui s’est étiré sur les dernières semaines.

Seruvakula a déclaré au Fiji Times : « En plus de la nomination du nouveau sélectionneur, le défi principal réside dans le manque de temps. Actuellement, en tant qu’entraîneur par intérim des Flying Fijians, je surveille les joueurs fidjiens qui évoluent à l’étranger. Cependant, en attendant, tout ce que nous pouvons faire, c’est croiser les doigts et espérer une nomination rapide de l’entraîneur. »

Le temps presse

Les Flying Fijians, dont l’effectif de la Coupe du Monde comprenait 18 joueurs issus des Fijian Drua en association avec des joueurs principalement basés en Europe, joueront contre les Barbarians à Londres le 22 juin, avant de rencontrer les All Blacks le 19 juillet à San Diego.

Senirusi Seruvakula s’inquiète du retard dans l’annonce du nouveau sélectionneur, craignant que cela ne compromette les discussions stratégiques qui doivent avoir lieu avec les clubs étrangers où pourraient évoluer des membres clés de l’équipe, afin de garantir leur disponibilité. Il a expliqué : « Nous allons devoir discuter avec les présidents et les entraîneurs des clubs des différents joueurs.

Des négociations avec les clubs

« Il y aura donc de nombreuses discussions et négociations avec ces clubs pour assurer la disponibilité de nos meilleurs joueurs pour ce premier match. Le futur sélectionneur aura une énorme responsabilité et moins de temps pour prendre des décisions difficiles et organiser la venue des joueurs évoluant à l’étranger. »

Les Fidji effectueront leur premier retour à Twickenham pour affronter les Barbarians, dans un match qui se tiendra en dehors de la fenêtre internationale, depuis leur victoire historique 30-22 sur l’Angleterre lors d’un match de préparation à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby en août.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.

France deny England and clinch Six Nations title in Paris

I think we need to call out the red card non-decision here and acknowledge the damage that France, through Galthie, have done to confidence in the officaiting and citing process.

It started when Garry Ringrose had club matches included in his ban following similar precedents for (Atonio, Haouas, Danty) who were all carded/cited in match just before fallow week and club matches counted. Ntamacks citing was in week 1 and harder to demonstrate availability for club match with another International match between. Preceednt ~(O’Mahony 2021) was followed. Reading the written decision for Ntamack shows that Galthie understood this perfectly. Yet after the Ringrose ban included club matches, Galthie publicly goes berserk screaming ‘Injustice (against France”. Again, he knows the precedents for Ringrose are all French and indeed the only person preceding Ntamack to have club matches count in that situation was France’s Willemse.

The media swallowed this up wholesale and the story started circulating and being added to without a single journalist/pundit (except rush Mirror) actually reading the Ntamack decision. Sneaky Ireland had better briefs than honest naive France was one random addition by a pundit which becamse accpeted fact without checking etc and added to the circulation.

Angered by losing his star player Galthie again lashes out. He knows know he can de facto attack individual players, the media won’t intervene and as long as he doesnt directly attack an individual official he will stay out of trouble.

So he attacks players who then het threatened by some lunatic French supporters online. Ireland are ‘Butchers’ apparently. The passive head contact earning Nash a yellow now becomes a double head hit on Barrassi, requiring a double red.

France who have more dangerous tackle citings under Galthie than all other six nations combined. They get more favourable outcomes than all other teams. poor France are now the victims of great injustice. It is farce.

But it paid off.

Mauvaka struck the Scottish Scrum half with a diving head butt in Sundays match. Its a clear red. Scotlands back line attack looked superiors to France’s and Scotland were there or there abouts.

What I can only assume is the chilling affect on Galthie’s public attacks Carley send it to the bunker. A deliberate head butt is a clear red on more than one count. There is no doubt, bo grey area.

If thats a red card do France win the match? I would say that Scotland are likely winners, which would have meant England winning the title.

Spilled milk now, but World Rugby, the citing commisioners and officials cannot allow big Unions to publicly intimidate the officiating process and attack individual players from other teams.
