Rugby Australia a confirmé qu’après une réunion qui s’est déroulée en soirée dimanche 19 novembre, le conseil d’administration a élu l’ancien arrière des Wallabies Daniel Herbert comme nouveau président de l’instance dirigeante.

Hamish McLennan avait promis de se battre pour conserver son poste malgré le fait que six fédérations membres, dont le Queensland, ACT et RugbyWA, aient exigé sa démission.

Mais la tentative de McLennan de conserver son poste a pris fin après qu’une réunion d’urgence du conseil d’administration a abouti à la prise de fonction d’Herbert.

Daniel Herbert, l’homme de la situation

Daniel Herbert, numéro 715 des Wallabies, a joué 67 tests pour l’Australie et a fait partie des équipes des Wallabies qui ont remporté la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 1999, les British and Irish Lions Series 2001, le Rugby Championship et cinq Bledisloe Cups d’affilée.

Après sa carrière de joueur, l’ancien trois-quarts centre a occupé des fonctions au sein de la QLD Rugby Union avant de se lancer dans une carrière d’homme d’affaires. Il fait partie du conseil d’administration de Rugby Australia depuis 2020.

Rugby Australia a déclaré que le conseil a considéré que l’expérience d’Herbert est idéalement adaptée pour diriger le développement du rugby depuis le niveau amateur jusqu’à l’élite, que ce soit dans le rugby féminin ou dans le rugby masculin.

En outre, il est bien placé pour conduire l’engagement continu et inébranlable du conseil à la stratégie de Rugby Australia d’aligner le rugby à travers le pays.

Besoin de rassemblement

Le nouveau président de Rugby Australia, Dan Herbert, a déclaré : « Il n’a jamais été aussi important pour le Comité Exécutif de Rugby Australia, en collaboration avec les Fédérations membres, de se rassembler et de mettre en œuvre la réforme dont nous avons absolument besoin pour un système aligné de haute performance et pour tenir les engagements que nous avons pris, notamment l’investissement dans le rugby amateur et dans le rugby féminin.

« L’Australie accueillera la tournée des British and Irish Lions en 2025, la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 pour les hommes et la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2029 pour les femmes, ainsi que les Jeux olympiques de 2032 – la réforme que nous mettons en œuvre maintenant va renforcer la compétitivité de nos équipes nationales, ainsi que la capacité à construire un engagement plus profond avec la communauté du rugby et les amateurs partout dans le monde.

« Nous constatons que les différentes fédérations membres ne s’opposent pas aux propositions de centralisation de Rugby Australia et restent déterminées à soutenir un alignement sur la haute performance. »

McLennan poussé vers la sortie

Une déclaration de Rugby Australia a confirmé que McLennan a officiellement démissionné du conseil d’administration de Rugby Australia.

« Le conseil souligne le programme stratégique que Hamish a contribué à mettre en œuvre, à travers le Covid et d’autres défis, en veillant à ce que le rugby en Australie puisse continuer à évoluer dans une période très difficile.

« Il quitte son poste de président après avoir joué un rôle central dans l’obtention par l’Australie des droits d’accueil de grands événements de rugby qui inspireront des générations de joueurs et de supporters, ainsi que dans la conclusion de l’accord actuel sur les droits de diffusion et dans le redressement de la situation financière de l’instance dirigeante. »

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.
