VIDEO : un salto arrière à 120 kg, ce pilier n'a peur de rien

Salto

Qui a dit que les piliers droits manquaient de finesse ou de souplesse ?

Souvent joueurs les plus lourds de leur équipe, les N.3 peuvent avoir un rôle ingrat qui consiste à pousser en mêlée aussi fort que possible, la tête coincée entre deux adversaires.

ça, c’est pour le cliché, car dans le rugby moderne on voit des piliers droits distribuer des offloads à la manière de Uini Atonio, ou allonger des passes vissées sur 20 mètres comme le réalise fréquemment Tadgh Furlong.

En Pro D2 ce jeudi soir, un autre membre de la confrérie a démontré un nouveau talent jusque-là inconnu. Lors de la rencontre avancée Montauban – Grenoble, Giorgi Pertaia s’est permis une petite gourmandise pour célébrer son essai en toute fin de match : un salto arrière, posé sans élan.

Les puristes objecteront que le Géorgien a posé les mains avant de retomber sur les pieds, mais ça reste tout de même pas mal pour un colosse de 120 kg qui venait de passer 67 minutes sur la pelouse.

Mick Cleary: 'The strength of England's spine will determine defining weeks for Borthwick's regime'

So outwitting your opponent can include losing to your opponent. Go on…


I agree England’s world rankings were inflated by their easy WC draw.


Win ratios don’t seem to matter, when it suits our friends from the North. We’ve have had to endure a lot of chest thumping because of win ratios up to now. So I’m glad you’ve at least seen the light. Trophies matter. Of which England has none of those either.


Although I’m surprised just how satisfied you are with mediocrity between World Cups. Something you’ve been quite outspoken about re: the Boks and their supporters.


I don’t think England will do much better than 60% wins for the year. Which would make it 42%, 56% and 60% in 2022, 2023 and 2024 if my maths stacks up. Eddie at least achieved 71%, 89% and 70% in the 3 years before he left.


So I can’t agree that England has “a clearly defined style of play for the first time in a long time”. You’ve regressed since Eddie. Even razor who has less time than Borthwick under his belt, outwitted you and achieved 70% for the year with a less settled squad. You tried copying the Bok rush defence over the last year and the guy who brought it in is leaving. Already.


Too many ifs, buts and maybes. But I hope I’m wrong. Because 1. I can’t bear the idea of Ireland and France running completely rampant without some resistance from England. And 2. You’re only going to get more salty about the boks to make up for your misery (envy).
