World Rugby veut rendre le rugby plus attractif

Les nouvelles règles ont notamment pour but de diminuer les échanges de coups de pied, dit "ping pong rugby" (photo by Alex Davidson/Getty Images)

Adieu le ping pong rugby ? World Rugby a dévoilé, ce mardi 19 mars, les prochaines étapes de sa stratégie établie dans le but de rendre le rugby plus divertissant, attirant un public plus large. L’attention est notamment portée sur ces longs échanges de coups de pied vus durant la Coupe du Monde ou durant le récent Tournoi des Six Nations.

Ç’a déjà changé

Le déploiement de ces annonces va se faire en cinq phases. La première a déjà commencé, et concerne l’application plus stricte par les arbitres de certaines règles déjà en place sur l’accélération du jeu. Par exemple, le fameux « Use it ! » sera dégainé plus tôt dans les rucks, et le joueur en possession du ballon aura alors cinq secondes pour le jouer. Les conditions d’entrée du porteur d’eau ou encore la position « pied-frein » du talonneur en mêlée sont elles aussi concernées.

Ça pourrait changer

La deuxième phase s’intéressera aux recommandations de modifications de règles. Le changement phare pourrait bien être la modification de la Règle 10, dans le but de réduire le ping pong rugby. L’option mêlée sur coup franc pourrait disparaître, tout comme la possibilité de faire un déblayage latéral, ou prise crocodile (“croc roll” en anglais), responsable de nombreuses blessures graves à l’image de celle subie par Jack Wilis lors du Tournoi des Six Nations 2021. L’ensemble de ces propositions seront étudiées le 9 mai prochain, à l’occasion de la réunion du Conseil de World Rugby.

Ça va être testé

Au cours de la 3e phase, certaines règles seront expérimentées en circuit fermé, avant d’être éventuellement appliquées au niveau national, voire international. Le but premier est là encore de fluidifier le jeu. Arrêt de volée autorisé sur un renvoi, un seul arrêt sur ballon porté au lieu de deux, le demi de mêlée mieux protégé derrière les phases de rencontre (mêlée, ruck, maul)… Voilà les propositions les plus emblématiques de ce package qui, là encore, a pour but de fluidifier le jeu.

Un joueur exclu pour carton rouge remplacé au bout de 20 minutes ?

Ensuite, des groupes de travail se mettront en place pour approfondir certains aspects identifiés en amont. Le sujet des sanctions va notamment être abordé, et il devrait faire réagir le monde de l’Ovalie. Un joueur sanctionné d’un carton rouge pourrait en effet être remplacé par un autre joueur, au bout de vingt minutes d’infériorité numérique. Une proposition devrait être faite en ce sens au Conseil de World Rugby, le 9 mai prochain. La hauteur du plaquage et les contests au sol devraient également faire l’objet de recommandations, entre autres.

Enfin, la dernière phase aura comme cadre les nouveaux Laboratoires de rugby de World Rugby, qui permettent à l’instance de tester de nouveaux aspects des règles dans un environnement sous contrôle évalué par les données et les retours d’expérience des joueurs, sur les notions de vitesse et de sécurité.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.

France deny England and clinch Six Nations title in Paris

I think we need to call out the red card non-decision here and acknowledge the damage that France, through Galthie, have done to confidence in the officaiting and citing process.

It started when Garry Ringrose had club matches included in his ban following similar precedents for (Atonio, Haouas, Danty) who were all carded/cited in match just before fallow week and club matches counted. Ntamacks citing was in week 1 and harder to demonstrate availability for club match with another International match between. Preceednt ~(O’Mahony 2021) was followed. Reading the written decision for Ntamack shows that Galthie understood this perfectly. Yet after the Ringrose ban included club matches, Galthie publicly goes berserk screaming ‘Injustice (against France”. Again, he knows the precedents for Ringrose are all French and indeed the only person preceding Ntamack to have club matches count in that situation was France’s Willemse.

The media swallowed this up wholesale and the story started circulating and being added to without a single journalist/pundit (except rush Mirror) actually reading the Ntamack decision. Sneaky Ireland had better briefs than honest naive France was one random addition by a pundit which becamse accpeted fact without checking etc and added to the circulation.

Angered by losing his star player Galthie again lashes out. He knows know he can de facto attack individual players, the media won’t intervene and as long as he doesnt directly attack an individual official he will stay out of trouble.

So he attacks players who then het threatened by some lunatic French supporters online. Ireland are ‘Butchers’ apparently. The passive head contact earning Nash a yellow now becomes a double head hit on Barrassi, requiring a double red.

France who have more dangerous tackle citings under Galthie than all other six nations combined. They get more favourable outcomes than all other teams. poor France are now the victims of great injustice. It is farce.

But it paid off.

Mauvaka struck the Scottish Scrum half with a diving head butt in Sundays match. Its a clear red. Scotlands back line attack looked superiors to France’s and Scotland were there or there abouts.

What I can only assume is the chilling affect on Galthie’s public attacks Carley send it to the bunker. A deliberate head butt is a clear red on more than one count. There is no doubt, bo grey area.

If thats a red card do France win the match? I would say that Scotland are likely winners, which would have meant England winning the title.

Spilled milk now, but World Rugby, the citing commisioners and officials cannot allow big Unions to publicly intimidate the officiating process and attack individual players from other teams.
