Cartons rouges : fin de tournoi pour Radradra, un match de suspension pour Cummings

Waisea Nayacalevu des Fidji réagit lorsque l'arbitre Luc Ramos montre un carton rouge à Semi Radradra des Fidji (non présent sur la photo) à la suite d'un examen du bunker, dans le cadre de l'essai en cours consistant à exclure définitivement le joueur fautif du match, mais à autoriser son équipe à revenir à un effectif normal au bout de 20 minutes. Cet incident a eu lieu lors du match des Autumn Nations Series 2024 entre le Pays de Galles et les Fidji au Principality Stadium le 10 novembre 2024 à Cardiff, au Pays de Galles.

L’ailier des Fidji Semi Radradra et le deuxième-ligne de l’Ecosse Scott Cummings ont comparu ce mardi 12 novembre par liaison vidéo devant une commission de discipline indépendante, au cours de deux audiences séparées.

Celle-ci devait statuer sur la situation des deux joueurs qui ont reçu un carton rouge de 20 minutes pour jeu déloyal. Semi Radradra s’est rendu coupable d’un plaquage haut, contraire à la règle 9.13, lors du match entre les Fidji et le Pays de Galles le dimanche 10 novembre 2024.

Quant à Scott Cummings, il devait s’expliquer sur une situation plus délicate (et moins flagrante, il faut le reconnaître), pour être retombé sur les membres inférieurs d’un gratteur en essayant de le déblayer, un acte de jeu déloyal contraire à la règle 9.20 (e), lors du match entre l’Écosse et l’Afrique du Sud le dimanche 10 novembre 2024.

Radradra suspendu pour trois matchs

Dans le cas de Semi Radradra, la Commission de discipline indépendante était présidée par Philippe Cavalieros (France – fédération d’ailleurs officiellement opposée au carton rouge de 20 minutes), assisté de l’ancien arbitre international Valeriu Toma (Roumanie) et de l’ancien joueur international Stefan Terblanche (Afrique du Sud).

La Commission de discipline a jugé que le carton rouge était justifié par la nature de l’acte de jeu courant. « En se basant sur les directives de sanction de World Rugby, elle a établi un point de départ à six semaines. Toutefois, une atténuation maximale de 50 % a été appliquée, prenant en compte un casier disciplinaire vierge et des signes de remords de la part du joueur, ce qui a permis de réduire la sanction à trois semaines », indique le communiqué.

Ainsi, la suspension couvrira les matchs suivants :

  • 16 novembre 2024 – Espagne vs Fidji – tests d’automne
  • 23 novembre 2024 – Irlande vs Fidji, Autumn Nations Series
  • 30 novembre 2024 – Pau vs Lyon, Top 14

Le joueur pourrait néanmoins être autorisé à disputer cette dernière rencontre pour la reprise du Top 14 si il demande et participe au Programme de formation au plaquage de World Rugby visant à modifier les techniques spécifiques et les problèmes techniques qui ont contribué à l’acte de jeu déloyal.

Scott Cummings suspendu pour un match

Dans le cas de Scott Cummings, la commission de discipline indépendante était présidée par Rhian Williams (Pays de Galles), accompagné de l’ancien arbitre international Donal Courtney (Irlande – fédération également sceptique sur le carton rouge de 20 minutes) et de l’ancien joueur international Olly Kohn (Pays de Galles).

Là aussi la commission a validé le carton rouge, mais en y émettant des nuances. « Bien que jugé imprudent, l’incident a été évalué avec un point d’entrée bas de deux semaines. Une atténuation maximale de 50 % a ensuite été appliquée, tenant compte d’un dossier disciplinaire exemplaire, d’une bonne conduite et de signes de remords du joueur, réduisant ainsi la sanction à une semaine », est-il indiqué dans la décision finale.

Ainsi, la suspension ne couvrira que le match suivant de l’Ecosse, soit contre le Portugal le 16 novembre.

'Passionate reunion of France and New Zealand shows Fabien Galthie is wrong to rest his stars'

Ok, managed to read the full article..

... New Zealand’s has only 14 and the professional season is all over within four months. In France, club governance is the responsibility of an independent organisation [the Ligue Nationale de Rugby or LNR] which is entirely separate from the host union [the Fédération Française de Rugby or FFR]. Down south New Zealand Rugby runs the provincial and the national game.

That is the National Provincial Championship, a competition of 14 representative union based teams run through the SH international window and only semi professional (paid only during it's running). It is run by NZR and goes for two and a half months.


Super Rugby is a competition involving 12 fully professional teams, of which 5 are of New Zealand eligibility, and another joint administered team of Pacific Island eligibility, with NZR involvement. It was a 18 week competition this year, so involved (randomly chosen I believe) extra return fixtures (2 or 3 home and away derbys), and is run by Super Rugby Pacific's own independent Board (or organisation). The teams may or may not be independently run and owned (note, this does not necessarily mean what you think of as 'privately owned').


LNR was setup by FFR and the French Government to administer the professional game in France. In New Zealand, the Players Association and Super Rugby franchises agreed last month to not setup their own governance structure for professional rugby and re-aligned themselves with New Zealand Rugby. They had been proposing to do something like the English model, I'm not sure how closely that would have been aligned to the French system but it did not sound like it would have French union executive representation on it like the LNR does.

In the shaky isles the professional pyramid tapers to a point with the almighty All Blacks. In France the feeling for country is no more important than the sense of fierce local identity spawned at myriad clubs concentrated in the southwest. Progress is achieved by a nonchalant shrug and the wide sweep of nuanced negotiation, rather than driven from the top by a single intense focus.

Yes, it is pretty much a 'representative' selection system at every level, but these union's are having to fight for their existence against the regime that is NZR, and are currently going through their own battle, just as France has recently as I understand it. A single focus, ala the French game, might not be the best outcome for rugby as a whole.


For pure theatre, it is a wonderful article so far. I prefer 'Ntamack New Zealand 2022' though.

The young Crusader still struggles to solve the puzzle posed by the shorter, more compact tight-heads at this level but he had no problem at all with Colombe.

It was interesting to listen to Manny during an interview on Maul or Nothing, he citied that after a bit of banter with the All Black's he no longer wanted one of their jersey's after the game. One of those talks was an eye to eye chat with Tamaiti Williams, there appear to be nothing between the lock and prop, just a lot of give and take. I thought TW angled in and caused Taylor to pop a few times, and that NZ were lucky to be rewarded.

f you have a forward of 6ft 8ins and 145kg, and he is not at all disturbed by a dysfunctional set-piece, you are in business.

He talked about the clarity of the leadership that helped alleviate any need for anxiety at the predicaments unfolding before him. The same cannot be said for New Zealand when they had 5 minutes left to retrieve a match winning penalty, I don't believe. Did the team in black have much of a plan at any point in the game? I don't really call an autonomous 10 vehicle they had as innovative. I think Razor needs to go back to the dealer and get a new game driver on that one.

Vaa’i is no match for his power on the ground. Even in reverse, Meafou is like a tractor motoring backwards in low gear, trampling all in its path.

Vaa'i actually stops him in his tracks. He gets what could have been a dubious 'tackle' on him?

A high-level offence will often try to identify and exploit big forwards who can be slower to reload, and therefore vulnerable to two quick plays run at them consecutively.

Yes he was just standing on his haunches wasn't he? He mentioned that in the interview, saying that not only did you just get up and back into the line to find the opposition was already set and running at you they also hit harder than anything he'd experienced in the Top 14. He was referring to New Zealands ultra-physical, burst-based Super style of course, which he was more than a bit surprised about. I don't blame him for being caught out.


He still sent the obstruction back to the repair yard though!

What wouldn’t the New Zealand rugby public give to see the likes of Mauvaka and Meafou up front..

Common now Nick, don't go there! Meafou showed his Toulouse shirt and promptly got his citizenship, New Zealand can't have him, surely?!?


As I have said before with these subjects, really enjoy your enthusiasm for their contribution on the field and I'd love to see more of their shapes running out for Vern Cotter and the like styled teams.
