Un deuxième ex-Wallabie en Pro D2 la saison prochaine

L’ancien demi de mêlée australien Joe Powell a signé un contrat de trois ans avec l’US Montauban en vue de la saison prochaine.

Le joueur de 30 ans qui compte quatre sélections avec les Wallabies (entre juin 2017 et juin 2018) a quitté les Leicester Tigers avec effet immédiat en janvier, n’ayant rejoint Welford Road qu’au début de la saison, à la suite de la disparition de son club précédent, les London Irish.

L’ancien numéro 9 des ACT Brumbies et des Melbourne Rebels croisera sur les terrains de la ProD2 son ancien partenaire australien Ned Hanigan la saison prochaine. Le troisième-ligne aile a accepté de rejoindre Provence Rugby en provenance des New South Wales Waratahs en mai.

Ned Hanigan a joué sous le même maillot des Wallabies que Powell, mais plus longtemps, totalisant 28 sélections entre janvier 2017 et novembre 2022.

Provence Rugby a terminé en tête du classement de la ProD2 la saison dernière, mais n’a pas réussi à obtenir la promotion lors des play-offs. Montauban, quant à lui, a terminé avant-dernier du championnat et a été contraint d’affronter Narbonne, deuxième de Nationale, en barrage de relégation – un match qu’il a remporté 20-19 pour rester en ProD2 la saison prochaine.

Après le départ de Joe Powell de Welford Road en début d’année, le directeur général de Leicester, Richard Wilks, avait déclaré : « C’est toujours difficile de voir partir de bonnes personnes et ces deux garçons sont des personnes exceptionnelles et ils manqueront au club.

« Joe Powell n’était avec nous que depuis peu de temps et il n’est jamais facile d’arriver dans un environnement pour une courte période, mais Powelly travaillait comme un fou tous les jours et les gars aimaient l’avoir près d’eux. »

The Junior Boks explanation for their heavy defeat to Argentina

I never thought I’d see a Springboks team (no matter the age group) get beaten up in the mauls and lineouts and lose a game in this manner in their own country. Argentina gave them a hell of a game. Well done ARG!

What England must do to achieve historic result vs All Blacks – Andy Goode

I stopped reading when Goode wrote “neither prop has much experience”. Did Goode not watch any of the All Blacks’ knockout tests of the RWC? DeGroot and Lomax are both world class props who matched the Irish and Springboks’ scrum.

The Junior Boks explanation for their heavy defeat to Argentina

Baby Bok complacency, after the outsize Fiji victory and previous wins vs Argentina. My guess is that they were looking ahead to the England game. There is no excuse for the team not being more competitive. Win or lose they should have been in the game, but they just looked blunt, inaccurate and bereft of ideas. And it has probably cost them a shot at the title. Disappointing. Well played Argentina.

Template alert. A [World Cup/Series] victory would be an historic achievement for [any given NH team] and all [insert number of them] are capable of pulling it off, given either their own prowess or the state of the opposition, but I just feel it might be a bridge too far so I’m going for [insert next best, respectable outcome]. Seriously though, this is Englands best chance in a long time. To think that this is version 1 of Razor’s ABs. Still extremely difficult to beat. Whatever the outcome of this series - imagine the possible version by 2027.

South Africans are the masters of taking offence

I see Etzebeth is whinging again. He is accusing the Irish media of targetting him after he fabricated a story and lied about Irish players being ‘arrogant’ after the quarter final. Poor Eben…..What is it with this sack of shit?

England is nice but the Springboks will be a true test of the All Blacks' mettle

Borthwick is gradually building a non-nonsense kind of team, with a back-to-basics workmanlike style. And I am backing him to do a good job of it, over time. If they aren’t already a legitimate contender against all comers then we should expect them to get there within the next year. Don’t expect the prettiest or most elegant rugby, but don’t underestimate their potential. FWIW I would not be surprised to see a relatively under-cooked NZ team lose to England in this series. You have to back Razor’s record in the longer run, but again it is a team in rebuild. Most of the magic emerges in teams when they have built experience as a unit. It’s when you get the roles, accuracy, timing and anticipation working that you get the results. It also helps to prove your selections and develop your squad depth. England are one year ahead of NZ in that rebuild process. I would love to see NZ win, but it is a lot to ask right. now. NZ deserve a break as Razor gets it all working together. As relates to NZ/SA, I expect those to be the biggest games of the 2024 season.
