Le Tournoi des Six Nations féminin comme voie d'accès à England 2025

Par Willy Billiard

Il y a 183 jours

England Women v Canada Women – Two-Test Series – Second Test – StoneX Stadium

Le Stade Marie-Marvingt, situé à l’intérieur du célèbre Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans, sera le théâtre du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin 2024 ce week-end. L’Irlande sera l’équipe invitée ce samedi 23 mars au Mans pour lancer son Tournoi contre la France.

Par la suite, le Pays de Galles accueillera l’Écosse à Cardiff plus tard dans la journée, tandis que l’Angleterre affrontera l’Italie à Parme dimanche 24 mars.

Alors que les six équipes se préparent pour les matchs du week-end, l’objectif n’est pas seulement de défier l’Angleterre, championne en titre et invaincue dans la compétition depuis 2018.

Cette année, le Tournoi des Six Nations féminin servira également de voie de qualification pour le WXV 2024 et la Coupe du Monde de Rugby Féminin 2025, qui sera élargie à 16 équipes.

Voici ce que les équipes doivent faire pour se qualifier pour les deux.

Pour le WXV 2024

Les six nations sont assurées de participer à l’un des trois niveaux du WXV en 2024, mais les résultats des cinq prochaines semaines détermineront lequel.

Les équipes qui termineront dans le top 3 du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin de cette année intégreront le WXV 1 aux côtés des trois premiers des World Rugby Pacific Four Series 2024 réunissant l’Australie, le Canada, la Nouvelle-Zélande et les États-Unis, qui se dérouleront du 28 avril au 25 mai.

Les nations qui termineront quatrième et cinquième se qualifieront pour le WXV 2 2024. Grâce à la campagne triomphale de l’Irlande lors du WXV 3 2023, une troisième équipe européenne se joindra à elle.

L’identité de cette nation sera décidée par un barrage entre l’équipe qui terminera dernière du classement du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin 2024 et les vainqueurs du Rugby Europe Championship 2024.

Le vainqueur de la Rugby Africa Cup 2024, le vainqueur de l’Asia Rugby Women’s Championship 2024 et l’équipe qui terminera quatrième des Pacific Four Series compléteront l’effectif du WXV 2.

L’équipe qui perdra le barrage européen prendra place dans le WXV 3 2024, au côté des Pays-Bas – qui se sont qualifiés en battant la Colombie à Amsterdam le week-end dernier, du finaliste de la Rugby Africa Women’s Cup, du finaliste de l’Asia Rugby Championship et des deux premiers du Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship 2024.

Pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2025

L’Angleterre, championne en titre du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin, et la France, finaliste de l’édition 2023, sont déjà qualifiées pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby féminin 2025 après avoir atteint les demi-finales en Nouvelle-Zélande en 2022.

Une place supplémentaire est disponible via le Tournoi de cette année, pour la nation la mieux classée autre que l’Angleterre ou la France.

Les trois équipes restantes du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin auront également la possibilité de se qualifier pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2025 par le biais du WXV.

Les six équipes non qualifiées les mieux classées aux trois niveaux à la fin de la compétition de cette année obtiendront leur billet pour England 2025.

Scott Lawrence: 'I think the forward pass for the Fiji try was a pivotal moment in the game'

In this match, Fiji’s performance was exceptional, and the statistics reflect that they were the superior team on the day.

For instance:

Possession: Fiji controlled 59% of the possession during the match, while the USA only had 41% (RugbyPass, 2024). This allowed Fiji to apply constant pressure on USA’s defense and create more opportunities for scoring.

Territory: Fiji spent 64% of the match in USA’s half, keeping the Americans under sustained pressure (World Rugby, 2024).

Offensive Play: Fiji made 7 line breaks, compared to USA’s 3. In addition, Fiji completed 12 offloads while USA only managed 5, highlighting Fiji's superior attacking ability and ball handling (World Rugby, 2024).

Scrums and Rucks: Fiji was dominant in the scrums, winning 100% of their own scrums (8 out of 8), whereas USA only won 71% of theirs (5 out of 7).

Additionally, Fiji won 6 turnovers compared to USA’s 2 (ESPN, 2024). This scrummaging and breakdown superiority was a critical factor in controlling the game.

Additionally, while forward passes can be contentious, it’s important to note that USA was also guilty of making 3 forward passes during the match, which resulted in lost opportunities and turnovers (RugbyPass, 2024).

These key errors disrupted momentum and contributed to their inability to maintain a sustained attack.

Hopefully by the time Tosi gets on, Angus Bell has done his dash and our man is up against Slipper, who is still wily but pretty far best his best. Bell is in the conversation. as world's best loose-head (De Groot and, after Africa, Williams might be in that conversation too). But I hope for Tosi's sake that Lomax doesn't have to come off early and he's forced to battle Bell for any length of time.

Robertson on why Sam Cane keeps starting for the All Blacks

depends how you want to use Ardie tho. If you want him to be a carrier you're better off playing him at 8 or off the bench. If you want him to be the lead rucker clearer/breakdown catcher he should go to 7. Problem is that Ardie has kind of been trying to do both when he should focus on one or the other. Ie you either put ardie at 8 or 6 and start a cruncher like Cane/Blackadder at 7. If you want Ardie to focus on the breakdown you start Sititi at 8 and put him back to 7

Still helpful to transition and mentor other players. Coaches have also been experimenting with the loosies combination I think he's shown to the coaches that you need a workhorse type player like him in the loose mix somewhere if you want to use power loosies like savea, sititi etc. Not sure yet who will fill that role Blackadder probably plays most similar to him in the current squad

Four of best performers from round six of the NPC

It's amazing what players get overlooked by the AB selectors. The NH has profited.

D'Angelo was Olsen Filipino-like, unstoppable and with such subtle skills.

Kurt Eklund has some critics but always completes his basic tasks and offers onfield intelligence.

I think Wellington test would be the 100th game. With Roigard returning, I wonder if the Wellington game will also be a last swansong for Perenara at his home ground

‘Did Conrad really score that many’: Rieko Ioane dismisses All Blacks drought

I wouldn't mind seeing see jordie at fullback again he can still play the first receiver role he did in SA from there. He is also great under the highball and can boot it downfield. I think using him as a punch is a little bit of a waste and was a decent solution in 2023 when we didn't have other options but there are more options available now

‘Did Conrad really score that many’: Rieko Ioane dismisses All Blacks drought

Indeed, but I also appreciate how Razor now has him covering the backfield more. Are they conflicting uses? Who was it that covered the Arg game, John(?), no it was a YTer (squidge?) suggested Jordies role was to chase and support the wing for a tap back.

That turnover try was actually a great example of were Jordies boot could have been used for territory instead of attacking (contestable). Hansen talking again about 'learnings' about what part of the field they want to play in. I would have thought that would be a basic principle about how the coaches want to play and it would be a bit late now to be learning that.

Nevrtheless we wait and see. One Barretts carrying though I'd suggest he only has a mandate to bring some physicality, not in how he does it. You can see how out of kilter he gets when he tries to do anything other than a simple cart up and pop. Just look at least week when he had two players on the outside to hit in multiple ways and he just indecisively takes the tackle before giving a poor overhead pop. That he still got the pass away hints at what he is "capable of" but as you saw, with free license, its just far off the mark. I've decided Rieko is my 12 from now on. I'd like Jordie to remain primarly at 12 at the Hurricans, as I feel that's were his best alround game can be kept in good shape, and you never know perhaps he will fill into the position after a while, but I'd like to try other centers essentially. But yes, if Razor/Hansen can get both him and Dmac humming in partnership they could also essentially cover many of the fb roles which aren't Jordans strength. Also obv happy to see Rieko tried on the wing just now I think that's more likely to fail than a Rieko/Proctor midfield.

I hadn't appreciated how important Ioane was at centre until the loss in wellington against the pumas you definitely feel his absence in the midfield. Although Lenit-Brown still had a decent game, he doesn't run the same lines as Ioane or put the same defensive pressure on the midfield

The emotional attachment will be too great and his old men will limp to the next WCUP. Rarely a formula for success.
