John Kirwan contre les congés sabbatiques des All Blacks

Beauden-Barrett-Suntory-2

L’ancien All Black Sir John Kirwan estime que les congés sabbatiques pourraient être abandonnés après des performances internationales en recul.

La clause sabbatique, qui permet aux meilleurs joueurs de disputer une saison à l’étranger tout en restant éligibles pour les All Blacks, a souvent été utilisée pour des passages au Japon, offrant aux joueurs des opportunités financières sans les exclure de la sélection.

Cependant, avec une baisse du taux de victoire des All Blacks, passé de 80 % à 70 % depuis 2020, Kirwan considère que cette politique pourrait être remise en cause.

Which Northern team will stop New Zealand? | The Breakdown

The Breakdown discusses which match will be the toughest for the All Blacks on their upcoming Northern Tour. Having already beaten Japan (since filming this) they face England, Ireland, France, and Italy.

« Les congés sabbatiques au Japon, c’est une bonne idée, mais les joueurs doivent comprendre qu’en partant, ils ont l’obligation de gagner avec les All Blacks », a déclaré Kirwan lors de l’émission The Breakdown diffusée sur RugbyPass TV.

« Les congés sabbatiques au Japon sont probablement du passé, mais je suis favorable à ce que nos meilleurs joueurs soient disponibles pour les Blues, qu’ils participent au Super Rugby et jouent pour les All Blacks », a déclaré Kirwan.

Des joueurs comme Sam Cane, Beauden Barrett, Ardie Savea, Damian McKenzie et Sam Whitelock ont pris des congés sabbatiques ces dernières années pour jouer en League One au Japon, où ils peuvent générer des revenus importants en abandonnant le Super Rugby.

Le dernier en date, Jordie Barrett, a signé un contrat de courte durée avec Leinster dans le cadre de son accord avec la NZR jusqu’en 2028.

Si les informations de Kirwan sont correctes, cela pourrait signifier que la NZR adoptera une position plus stricte en matière d’éligibilité, à un moment où Scott Robertson, le sélectionneur des All Blacks, prévoit de proposer des dérogations pour ajuster les règles de sélection.

Scott Robertson a exprimé son point de vue sur les règles d’éligibilité, en mettant l’accent sur ce qui serait le mieux pour l’équipe des All Blacks. Il a souligné la nécessité de maintenir un groupe compétitif en attirant les meilleurs joueurs tout en restant ouvert à l’idée d’offrir des opportunités à ceux qui ont montré de la loyauté envers la Nouvelle-Zélande.

« Qu’est-ce qui est bon pour nous aujourd’hui ? Comment obtenir les meilleurs joueurs, la meilleure compétition et le meilleur groupe de All Blacks ? », a-t-il déclaré. « Et, potentiellement, si vous gardez l’esprit ouvert, vous pourriez envisager l’opportunité des joueurs qui ont montré beaucoup de loyauté envers nous. »

Cependant, Sir John Kirwan a vigoureusement contesté cette proposition de modification des règles, affirmant que la Nouvelle-Zélande ne pouvait pas se permettre de sélectionner des joueurs étrangers. Selon lui, une telle décision serait une « blague absolue », et il a rappelé que des pays comme l’Australie, qui ont modifié leurs règles de sélection au milieu des années 2010, n’ont pas connu de succès à long terme.

« Il est absolument impossible que notre pays puisse se permettre de sélectionner des joueurs étrangers, c’est une blague absolue et la plupart des personnes qui veulent être sélectionnées à l’étranger sont celles qui sont déjà parties », a affirmé Kirwan.

Il a aussi mis en garde contre les conséquences de suivre un modèle économique basé sur les offres étrangères, en prenant exemple sur l’Australie qui, selon lui, a régressé après avoir ouvert la porte aux joueurs évoluant à l’étranger. « Le monde est fragile, très fragile. Cela a-t-il aidé l’Australie ? L’Australie l’a fait et elle a régressé », a-t-il ajouté.

Kirwan insiste sur le fait que la Nouvelle-Zélande doit trouver des solutions pour conserver ses meilleurs talents, car selon lui, il sera toujours difficile de rivaliser avec les salaires offerts à l’étranger.

Former All Black urges Blues head coach to shift Beauden Barrett to No.10

OMG, my crypto savings, around $230k, just disappeared in a flash! I trusted this broker for months, and they screwed me over, refusing access to my trading account after I tried to pull out. I was lost, thinking there was no way I'd ever see that money again. I even tried a few "asset recovery hackers" who were useless and stole more from me with empty promises, sad. Then, I stumbled upon a review on Trustpilot from Jenny, someone I knew a little, and she'd had a similar nightmare with crypto scammers. She mentioned how she got help recovering her lost Bitcoin. My situation was even worse; it was USDT, a whopping $230k I had sent to this fake trader on Telegram, who promised a 300% ROI in three months, dumb me to believe that.  I confided in my associate, and she introduced me to DUNENECTARWEBEXPERT on Telegram.

The numbers show Super Rugby Pacific just got even tougher

“The competition is tough, because you’ve got to spit out performances every week, and to be able to do that consistently you’ve got to have good depth.”

You’ve got to look forward to next weekend more than anything too.

The bonus points view is a good one. The majority of bonus points earned in the first three rounds last season were for scoring three tries more than the opposition, while three quarters of bonus points in 2025 have gone to the losing side getting to within seven points of the victors.

They really use this sorta system? Much smaller pool of bonus points available, that would mean they have far less impact. Interestingly you must be withen winning range/chance in France’s Top 14 league, rather that just draw territory, so 6 points instead of 7. Fairly arbitrary and pointless (something the NRL would do to try and look cool), but kinda cool.


I said it Nick’s and other articles, I’m not sure about the fixed nature of matchups in these opening rounds. For instance, I would be interested in seeing an improved ranking/prediction/reflection ladder to what we had last year, were some author here game so rejigged list of teams purely based of ‘who had played who’ so far in the competition. It was designed to analyze the ladder and better predict what the real order would be after the full round robin had completed. It needed some improvement, like factoring in historical data as well, as it was a bit skiwif, but it is the sort of thing that would give a better depiction of what sort of contests weve had so far, because just using my intuition, the matchups have been very ‘level appropriate’ so far, and were jet to get the other end of the spectrum, season ranked bottom sides v top sides etc.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

I initially started trading with Pips Global because of the variety of trading accounts they offered, including their Funded Next accounts. These accounts seemed like an appealing opportunity, as they gave traders the chance to trade with a larger balance after successfully passing a challenge. For someone like me who was looking to scale up my trading without having to risk a significant amount of my own capital, it seemed like the perfect option. At first, I started with their Micro account, which had high leverage, fast market execution, and tight variable spreads. All these features seemed to align well with my trading goals, and I felt confident moving forward.However, things took a turn for the worse as I continued trading. I ended up losing a significant amount, around 30,000 AUD, due to what I now believe was a scam. The trades I placed weren’t executing properly, and there were discrepancies with the spreads and market conditions. I tried to reach out to Pips Global’s customer support, but I wasn’t receiving the kind of help I expected. It became increasingly clear that the platform wasn’t as reliable as I had originally thought, and I felt completely stuck.In my search for a solution, I came across PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, a service that specializes in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent brokers. Their team was highly professional, thorough, and patient. They guided me step by step through the entire recovery process, keeping me informed at every stage. They also provided me with solid advice on how to avoid falling into similar traps in the future.

Website; https://pyramidhacksolution.com While their Funded Next accounts and other account options might seem enticing, my personal experience with them was ultimately disappointing. I would advise anyone looking to trade with them to be cautious, especially if things don’t seem to be going as expected.If you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, I can’t recommend PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION enough. WhatsApp; +447414280914 Their expertise in fund recovery was a lifesaver, and they were instrumental in helping me get my money back.
