U20 : La Nouvelle-Zélande l’emporte d’un cheveu sur la France

Par Willy Billiard

STELLENBOSCH, AFRIQUE DU SUD - 4 JUILLET : Lino Julien (France U/20) pendant le match entre la Nouvelle-Zélande et la France le 4 juillet 2024 lors de la deuxième journée du Championnat U20 qui se tient au Danie Craven Stadium de Stellenbosch, en Afrique du Sud. (Photo par Nic Bothma/World Rugby)

La Nouvelle-Zélande a battu la France 27-26 et pris la tête de la poule A après la deuxième journée du Championnat du Monde U20 en Afrique du Sud.

Après une première période maîtrisée, la France U20 menait 11-0 face à une équipe de Nouvelle-Zélande trop souvent sans solution. L’essai de Xan Mousques (4^e) complété par deux pénalités de Hugo Reus laissait craindre une revanche de la Nouvelle-Zélande en seconde période.

La réaction ne s’est pas faite attendre avec un essai du trois-quarts centre Aki Tuivailala (44^e) qui sera suivi d’un autre de l’ailier Stanley Solomon (52^e) après un joli leurre. Entre-temps l’interception du troisième-ligne aile Joe Quere Karaba aura permis de conserver l’avance de la France.

Mais le carton jaune de Léo Carbonneau (56^e) a coûté cher avec un essai du demi de mêlée Dylan Pledger après une mêlée à cinq mètres sur introduction tricolore (62^e), puis un quatrième de Manumaua Letiu sur ballon porté (67^e). L’essai de Mathis Ferté (73^e) et le carton jaune de Joshua Smith (77^e) permettait aux Français de souffler après cette rencontre d’une intensité étouffante. Mais une pénalité de Rico Simpson qui a frôlé le poteau droit à la dernière seconde (80^e) libérait les Néo-Zélandais.

Desiree Miller scores four as Wallaroos run away with big win over Fiji

Couldn’t agree more James. They have the potential to be a real top 5 team distancing themselves from Scotland, Wales, Italy and Ireland, but it is becoming very competitive and those nations are also determined to move forward to close the gap on France and the Red Roses. Jo Yapp is as good a coach as they can have for the journey.

First time I was coached this defence was back in U19 rep rugby league in 1989. Crazy to think the ABs are having issue with it all these years later.

Good enough is old enough. He looks the goods the kid and has a strong background. I reckon Razor is trending in the right direction - now to get rid of Christie lol.

How England are dealing with the weight of history before second Test

I think the game will be an easier win to NZ. The first test was the first time the ABs have played together since November last year. There would have been some rust and first time nerves for some. And now they've seen what the English are coming at them with, they’ll have a chance to come up with a plan to counter the rush defence and practise it for a week.

Mick Cleary: 'England had a chance. They blew it. They need to take that hurt and use it.'

There seems to be an awful lot of attention on what England can improve to win in T2 but little on what NZ can do. The reality is this was a near scratch team that had been together for 10 days with a new coaching group and significant changes in personnel (Whitelock, Retallick, Cane, Frizell, A Smith, Mo'unga, Jordan), half the team and 100s of tests of experience missing and the team needs to gel. To get through against an established and battle hardened team was no mean feat. The scrum will continue to improve, the line out will start to gel with 4 new jumpers to get better at their cohesion, the inside backs probably had never played together apart from in training and certainly Dmac and Christie would not have had time in the saddle in anger. The biggest concern for me is at centre where Rico continues to look invisible - his pace should be one of the keys to unlocking a rush defence and allowing Reece to shine even more, the problem with having this centre combination is there is no playmaking centre just a crash bash and a whippet but no distribution ala Conrad to manipulate the rush and open the space wider.

All Blacks vs England takeaways: The Perenara fade away, Razor's defensive concern

Hoping the first test gives this AB group plenty to work on for Eden Park. As Ben points out, some of the early signs showed promise and execution was the let-down - before adjusting in the final quarter and closing out the win. Reiko should not start the second game with either ALB or Proctor in his place and I would rather Ratima start with FC on the bench again. Some boldness in selection and a push for greater execution of counters to the rush D should see the pretenders put away. (In actual fact, this England side are showing a marked growth in depth of attack and defense). Finau has the raw ingredients but, as pointed out by others below, he needs confidence to grow into his potential.

Grassroots rugby 'needs to fit around people's lives or face further challenges'

Touch and tag also has the appeal of not risking major injury. I'm a Heavy duty mechanic and if I get seriously hurt playing full contact rugby that is money out of my own pocket I have to spend on staying home from work. There is no way for me to earn an income if I have a broken hand or leg.

The fix…play like the Blues, direct, pick and go, with the odd kick to turn them around and keep them in their own half.

Would like to see Ratima start with Christie on the bench if the occasion is too much for Ratima. That said, Ratima has shown plenty of mettle and would seem well able to cope with test match rugby. His combination with DMac is a huge plus and he has the knack for running support lines that carves up the middle and opens up scoring opportunities. It will be interesting to see what measures the ABs have implemented to counter the rush and dominate the ruck area. Lots of improvements could come out of both camps.

Alan Quinlan poses question to RG Snyman after tackle on Craig Casey

Completely dirty play worthy of at least a yellow card. Of course, would never happen as Boks can't win a match without referee incompetence - so Whitehouse and Pearce let them off. Not sure why World Rugby doesn’t step in and get some officials who aren’t completely inept. But they would have to do their job for that to happen

Alan Quinlan poses question to RG Snyman after tackle on Craig Casey

“A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, *but is not limited to,* tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders.” This is just about player safety and we know that Casey was knocked out and therefore suffered brain injury. Snyman comes through (probably off-side but that’s not the issue here) and with his left hand hits Casey’s left hand in and attempt to make Casey spill the ball. (He succeeds as in the ball goes to ground but Ireland regather). The ball is gone. Snyman now widens his arms (the ball is now gone) and closes them on Casey to grasp him. He now runs Casey backwards three steps (he knows the ball is not there) which builds momentum then Snyman throws his weight on top of Casey ensuring they will hit the ground hard. Snyman pushes through Caseys upper body hard ensuring maximum impact when the ground is hit. The result is that Casey’s body is whipped down and his loose head smacks hard off the ground knocking him out. Snyman pushes through again so much that his head is pushing down on the inconcious head of Casey. This is not a rugby incident. This is dangerous play, a dangerous cheap shot in fact. This is not about being hard or soft. This is about rugby players not having their later lives ruined by brain degenation and disease. That’s why the law is there. The referee and TMO should enforce it. (Now I will speculate. A few people have said Snyman isnt dirty. This then looks like a Rassie ‘any chance you can get away with it get hit/hurt that little guy’ instruction.)

Gatland needs a catalyst to start the Wales fightback or the game faces a stark future

If I was on the welsh rugby board - I’d be asking: should we not be targeting the 6N ahead of the 2027 World Cup? It’s something Wales has done successfully in the past and, I’d argue, Gatland should be aiming to achieve before the World Cup. Or else Gatland has himself nothing but a cushy job until the end of the World Cup - which is nice for him.

How England's blitz ground All Blacks to a standstill

FB is notorious for lowering kick stats so no need to get too hung up on that one. As for the blitz, England will absolutely double down and the only options to counter are punch through in the carry, grubbers or chip kick precision over the top and play the odds on collecting. At least a few well positioned kicks will make the defence think twice and might just be enough to take an edge off their speed. In many ways the performance and indeed the result, will give England a serious confidence boost going into the final game. There is a degree of pressure here on razor and the ABs but if there’s one team you’d back at Eden Park…

Four issues England must address before facing the All Blacks again

Our bench strategy was dodgy. Took off players still playing well and replaced them unnecessarily with lesser players that killed our tempo namely, Chandler, Mitchell, Smith. This cost us the world cup semi final when we could have kept our starting props on. There is of course merit to bringing on fresh blood at 55 but that assumes the players coming off the bench are nearly as good. In key positions for England, they are not. Fin Baxter managed to play for nearly the entire match, surely Chandler and Mitchell could do another few mins and I don't ever see the point of subbing your fly half unless you're losing badly or the game is in the bag. Marcus should stay on. Fin Smith is a great kid who may be an England legend one day but at the moment, he's not making any impact.

Four issues England must address before facing the All Blacks again

On the topic of scrums - England’s front row is nothing special. I’d like to see some new fresh faces emerging sooner rather than later. As the no.5 team in the world, England is only really capable of building to another WC campaign in 2027. And maybe a 6 Nations shot next year or so (although you can’t see this England team consistently beating Ireland or France) - so I’m not sure why we’re (I’m) not seeing any new talent in the tight five worth writing home about. The old guard is well Past or approaching past their prime. Which is why a messy NZ still pipped them to the post. The fact that England is clearly unearthing some excellent loose forwards - they’re going to be hamstrung by this old tight five as time goes by. We’ve got some fancy looking bits and bobs on an old engine.
