Lyon serait prêt à contrecarrer les plans de la Section Paloise, qui aurait l’intention de réunir les frères Joe et Sam Simmonds l’année prochaine.

Toutes les stats et les données

Sam Simmonds devrait quitter Montpellier du fait de l’arrivée de Billy Vunipola en provenance des Saracens en fin de saison. Il est pressenti du côté de Pau la saison prochaine. Il y évoluerait aux côtés de son frère Joe Simmonds.

Les Montpelliérains ont besoin de réduire le nombre de joueurs non-Jiff dans leur effectif. Si Sam Simmonds semble avoir l’option de prolonger pour une troisième année, cette issue semble assez peu probable.

Pau semblait vouloir recruter le n°8 à l’été dernier mais le MHR s’est maintenu en Top 14 et a donc conservé l’Anglais dans ses rangs.

Ensemble, les frères Simmonds ont remporté le doublé Premiership / Champions Cup avec Exeter en 2020. Joe a déjà signé une prolongation de contrat de trois ans avec la Section, qui pourrait voir ses plans tomber à l’eau.

En effet, Lyon, actuel 4^e du Top 14, serait prêt à faire une offre à Sam Simmonds, désigné Joueur de la Saison de Premiership il y a quatre ans. Cette offre serait assez conséquente pour lui faire réfléchir à deux fois à un départ dans le Béarn. Affaire à suivre.

England A name 30-man squad for All Blacks XV clash

The main squad will beat this team but it will give you an idea of the wider depth ENG have been building.

It’s a very young pack with Fasogbon (22), Sela (21), Tuipulotu (20), Sodeke (21) being blended with some older players like Blamire (27) and Pearson (26), who are in and around the main squad, whilst the backline is exceptionally quick.

England A name 30-man squad for All Blacks XV clash

The U20’s games were prioritised and have been fantastic development teams but once these kids graduate they have had limited changes since Covid.

ENG have re-committed to the A-team games (your AB XV) and its giving them a chance to play the near test ready and U-20’s players so they stay on the radar and get game time.

'Play France, South Africa... I don't think they get away with that'

Like Biggar, I thought ENG lacked sufficient power to take chances and whilst you could argue they missed 3 golden chances to score with the held up tries and IF-W’s catch being knocked out, this was offset by the brilliance of Earl & Pollocks tries, which the bigger, more powerful players would not have scored.

Ultimately, ENG have realised they can’t beat SA playing them at their own game, so they have created a game plan that defends differently with the 5 x7 swarm defence over the 80 mins and the the wider runners breaking lines (like Earl), whilst holding AUS to one of their lowest scores in the last handful of games (and the intercept was fortunate also).

Look up! Australia have to be better in the air to defuse bombs heading their way

Brett - Fear not, that ENG system has been built over nearly three years and was executed to perfection over the weekend, so will not be so easy to replicate by others this weekend.

ENG have 3 very different 10’s but Ford’s super strength is his tactical kicking and the “spiral bomb kicks”, so if you are playing him at 10, it’s with a plan to kick (otherwise you would select another with different skills) and with that you play Freddie Steward as the primary kick chaser at 15, so those two come as a unit as there is not much point in having one without the other.

Inside World Rugby's six-year runway to America's first Rugby World Cup

Rugby World Cups draw fans into countries that support rugby. They don’t develop rugby in the nations that they’re held in. The US won’t wake from it’s sleeping giant status before, during or after the RWC2031. If anything World Rugby should be identifying potential countries that could step in soon should this fiasco continue (South Africa, Japan, Canada, etc.). If you don’t believe what I’m saying just look at the MLR and another team (Utah Warriors) suspending their operations as of today. Rugby is going nowhere in the United States and the quicker they pull the handbrake there the better.

How England's five sevens made a full house at Twickenham

It’s really annoying they played IRE vs NZ as the Gallagher Cup, so they have not included the stats as part of the Quilter Series on the Six Nations website. Mildly annoying.

I did fear for his career at one point. He had so many concussions he had to take about 6 months off . . . But thankfully that is all behind him now. 🤞

I think there are three frailties;

a) The 3x7’s need to be able to bring the big opposition guys to the ground so they can compete at the rucks (Underhill & the Curry’s are very good at that). You will be in trouble if you can’t bring down the man (like Van der Mescht)

MLR down to six teams as Utah shuts down operations

Terrible announcement. Throws whole competition into jeapordy. I thought it was an established rugby heartland community in Utah, obviously thats not enough. Still, if rugby has any future in America, it needs to be in rugby based communities, like Denver, Glendale, not big cities with no rugby interest. Ask the black lion of Georgia, they are looking for competition , its not the answer though, Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska or Canada, might have a team. It looks bleak for MLR which had great potential. Im sure World Rugby will help.

How England's five sevens made a full house at Twickenham

AUS wasn’t exactly what I would call a small pack and you saw what the swarm defence did to them this weekend but I’ve just looked at the match stats vs last year and this and it really is pointing a picture of how much the defence has raised their game.

Higher tackle completion 93%, a far greater number of rucks (so they are getting players to the ground) and a significant reduction in carries, metres carried and ultimately tries in the AUS attack.

'We need to have 40 players ready to go': Ireland prepare to wield the axe

London Irish would have been the solution, probably not now. Connacht were once condidered a development side. Irelsnd needs a development side. Wolfhounds club, were acadamey and others in squads who arent getting enough games can play, the squad would come from the 4 provinces player base, and called back when needed or replaced. Problem might be where to play them, against Black Lion and Cheetahs in their super rugby Europe leauge, not sure, as i said London Irish would have been perfect. Ireland A used to be involved in tournaments in the past, its something New Zealand is focusing on to develop their players and give them much needed international exposure. Probably IRFU cant afford it anymore.
