Les Fidji font trembler les Gallois

Wales v Fiji – Rugby World Cup 2023 – Pool C – Stade de Bordeaux

Le Pays de Galles a entamé sa campagne pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 par une victoire à l’arraché 32-26 sur ses adversaires de la poule C, les Fidji, devant 41 274 supporters, pour la plupart gallois, au Stade de Bordeaux.

Josh Adams a marqué un premier essai pour le Pays de Galles, mais les Fidji ont riposté avec des essais du capitaine Waisea Nayacalevu et du troisième-ligne Lekima Tagitagivalu avant que l’essai de George North ne permette au Pays de Galles de prendre une avance de 18-14 à la mi-temps.

Louis Rees-Zammit a réceptionné un coup de pied croisé du capitaine Jac Morgan pour accroître l’avance du Pays de Galles et, après un en-avant de Levani Botia sur la ligne, l’essai transformé d’Elliott Dee à 13 minutes de la fin – après un carton jaune pour le Fidjien Lekima Tagitagivalu – a permis au Pays de Galles de prendre le large 32-14 et de se mettre à l’abri du danger.

A la 65e minute, les Gallois menaient de 18 points, mais la menace était réel. « Ce qui me vient à l’esprit, c’est qu’ils peuvent revenir car j’ai déjà vécu ça », acquiesçait le sélectionneur du Pays de Galles, Warren Gatland.

« Je me souviens d’un match à Suva contre les Fijian Drua et on était dans une situation un peu semblable avec encore sept minutes à jouer. Et ils ont marqué trois essais en sept minutes ; on a failli perdre cette fois-là. Ça ne s’oublie pas. »

Mais les Fidji ont refusé de se laisser abattre et l’essai de Josua Tuisova a déclenché une révolte en fin de match. Peni Ravai a vu son essai annulé pour avoir aplati en deux temps avant que Mesake Doge ne centre à deux minutes de la fin. Seul un en-avant de Semi Radradra dans les dernières secondes a permis au Pays de Galles de décrocher la victoire. Les deux équipes repartent avec le point bonus.

« C’était absolument éreintant », a réagi Dan Biggar à l’issue du match.

« Les dix dernières minutes étaient interminables. On a tout donné et les Fidji sont revenus en force à la fin. Je suis tellement heureux que ce groupe de joueurs s’en soit sorti parce que vu la somme de travail et d’effort qu’on a tous fourni ces derniers mois, c’était juste incroyable. »

« C’était difficile. Nous sommes déçus. On a produit un effort tellement immense là. Tout le crédit en revient aux gars qui ont tout donné jusqu’à la toute fin. Et cette passe à la fin, mec… ça va nous servir de leçon. On verra la suite la semaine prochaine. », a ajouté le capitaine des Fidji, Waisea Nayacalevu.

'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.
