L’Argentine devra se passer de Pablo Matera lors de son premier match de la tournée d’automne contre l’Italie. Le flanker a en effet été suspendu deux semaines à la suite du carton rouge reçu durant la dernière rencontre de Rugby Championship contre l’Afrique du Sud.

L’ancien capitaine des Pumas avait été exclu par l’arbitre Ben O’Keeffe après 56 minutes de jeu pour un déblayage dangereux sur le pilier bok Vincent Koch.

La Sanzaar (South Africa, New Zealand, Australia et Argentina Rugby) a depuis confirmé le carton rouge et adressé à Matera une suspension de deux semaines, qui ne lui fera manquer qu’une seule rencontre avec son équipe nationale.

Le 3e ligne, 31 ans, ne pourra pas être aligné au Stadio Friuli d’Udine, contre Gli Azzurri, mais sera à disposition de son sélectionneur à partir du 10 novembre.

Felipe Contepomi pourra donc compter sur l’un de ses principaux cadres pour les matchs les plus importants, face à l’Irlande puis la France.

« Le joueur est entré en contact sans se lier avec un autre joueur dans le ruck et a frappé la tête d’un adversaire avec son épaule à grande vitesse », a déclaré la SANZAAR.

« Ces actions sont considérées comme des ‘fautes de jeu’ selon la nouvelle directive, ce qui justifie une suspension de deux semaines.

« Par conséquent, le joueur est suspendu jusqu’au 10 novembre inclus.

Why England's defence of the realm has crumbled without Felix Jones

The way they are defending is sometime pathetic to be honest. Itoje is usually on the inside of the rush and he is paired with a slower tight forward. Unable to keep up with the rush we have seen the line become disconnected on the inside where the big boys are. How many times have we seen Earl rush past the first receiver almost into no mans land covering no attacker. It looks like a system without any guidance. Tome Wright, Ikitau and a number of Wallabies went back to this soft centre as did Williams, Jordan and several others. Also when the line is broken the multiple lines of defence seems to be missing. The rush is predicated on a cover and recovery system with multiple lines of defence but with England you dont see it any more. Fitness and conditioning seems to be off as well as players are struggling to keep up with the intensity of the rush. Felix Jones has left a huge hole. The whole situation was and is a mess. Why they insist on not letting him go and having him work remotely is beyond me. Its leading to massive negative press and is a hot button issue thats distracting from the squad. Also the communication around Jones and his role has been absolute rubbish and is totally disjointed. While some say he is working remotely and playing a role others are saying theres been no contact. His role has not been defined and so people keep asking and keep getting different answers. England need a clean break from him and need to start over. Whatever reason for his leaving its time to cut the rope before the saga drags the whole Borthwick regime down. As for Joe El Abd well good luck to him. He is being made to look like an amateur by the whole saga and he is being asked to coach a system thats not his and which has been perfected and honed since 2017 by Nienaber, Jones, Erasmus and Co and which was first started by White in 2004. He is literally trying to figure out a system pioneered by double world cup winning coaches at the highest level and coach it at the same time. Talk about being on a hiding to nothing.
