L'Ecosse en pleine puissance face aux Tonga

L’Ecosse a largement battu les Tonga 45-17 dans ce match important de la Poule B au Stade de Nice dimanche 24 septembre 2023. Cela faisait 28 ans que les deux équipes ne s’étaient pas croisées en Coupe du Monde de Rugby (41-5 pour l’Ecosse à Prétoria en 1995).

Les hommes de Gregor Townsend ont su répondre à l’impressionnant Sipi tau en mettant d’emblée la pression avec une première alerte de Scott Cummings, trop court pour marquer dès la première minute.

Mais à la quatrième, la tortue écossaise était lancée à la suite d’une touche sur la ligne des 22 captée par Richie Gray avant d’être transmise au talonneur George Turner qui n’a trouvé aucune résistance sur le chemin de l’en-but. L’essai de l’ailier Solomone Kata à la 19e a permis aux Tongiens de brièvement prendre l’avantage.

Duhan van der Merwe, Joueur du Match

Mais avec Fin Russell à la distribution, les cannes de Duhan van der Merwe sur une aile (25e) et celles de Kyle Steyn sur l’autre (29e), conjuguées à une supériorité numérique (carton jaune sur l’ailier de Perpignan d’origine australienne Afusipa « Sipa » Taumoepeau à la 33e), le point bonus était assuré juste avant la pause grâce à un essai du troisième ligne aile Rory Darge, bras tendu au travers d’une défense tongienne trop poreuse (45 plaquages manqués en tout) – 24-10.

Dès le retour des vestiaires, après un raffut et malgré trois défenseurs sur le dos, le pilier droit de l’UBB Ben Tameifuna était inarrêtable pour remettre son équipe dans la marche à un essai transformé d’écart (43e).

Pourtant, dix minutes plus tard, van der Merwe, sacré Joueur Mastercard du match sans surprise, redonnait de l’air avec quatre défenseurs battus et une passe décisive au demi de mêlée George Horne (53e). Un essai de l’arrière Blair Kinghorn (67e), un carton jaune à l’encontre du numéro 8 Vaea Fifita et le coup de grâce de Darcy Graham (80e) plombaient une fin de match lourde pour les Tonga (45-17).

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

Do you hear yourself? Do you have any concept of world view? Have you tried looking into why people call Ireland ‘arrogant’? Obviously not.


We started calling you arrogant when you called our captain a ‘shit Richie McCaw’. In New Zealand. On our turf. Don’t think that kind of behaviour really calls for respect, does it.


NZ don’t really talk ourselves up, if anything the rugby does it for us. No kiwi goes in the media and says: ‘We are gonna win the RWC’. However, I have found many instance of IRISH media saying that the Irish should win, without a doubt. THAT is disrespectful.


The All Blacks have played good rugby, even some of the best rugby ever, at many points in history, but I don’t think you could find a single instance of one of those players, or the NZ media, saying that they should whitewash their opponents. Ever.


Now, onto your analysis. Ireland DID choke the QF. They beat the champions, they were ranked first coming into it, a lot of players at the peaks of their powers. Its hard to say that they didn’t choke. Obviously, their preparation was just not as good as NZ, and thats all there really is to it.


If Ireland had repsected that ABs team and that QF more, maybe they would’ve prepared properly for it and won. But they didn’t.


Maybe if Ireland had won their QF last RWC, they wouldn’t have to be in the same pool as SA and Scotland. I mean, its called a draw for a reason. NZ got third last RWC, so of course they should get a reasonable pool, and they were ranked pretty highly too. If you want to talk about easy pools, look no further than Pool 3 with England, Australia, Fiji, and Georgia I think?


Now, obviously you don’t remember how that QF ended, so I’ll go ahead and rectify that. Ireland reclaimed the ball off kickoff and marched for 20ish phases into the opposition half. Savea then won a turnover, but the referee refused to give it, so play went on. Finally, at the NZ 22, after not giving up a single penatly in 25 phases of hard defense, Sam Whitelock, the most capped All Black of all time, wins the game with an incredible steal.


Now, NZ players having a go at Ireland. Do you cry when you get hit after making the first swing? We all know Sexton is a prick on the field, its just the truth. And Ioane never backs down from a clash, so he thought he should humble a player who has never won an international knockout game who thought he was all that. Don’t really see the issue, its poetic justice really.
