The Rugby Championship

Pierre Brousset et Éric Gauzins sont les deux seuls représentants de l’arbitrage français sur le Rugby Championship 2024 qui se déroule du 10 août au 28 septembre en Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Afrique du Sud et Argentine.

Ce sera une grande première pour les deux officiels de match français qui vivront là leur première participation sur ce tournoi du Sud. Pierre Brousset sera au sifflet et Éric Gauzins à la vidéo.

Par cette sélection – une équipe de 12 arbitres venant de 7 pays différents – World Rugby entame un processus de sélection des meilleurs officiels de match de la planète rugby en vue de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 en Australie et au-delà.

« Le nouveau plan stratégique que nous avons mis en place vise à renforcer la profondeur de notre équipe, et cette sélection en est un parfait exemple », estime Brett Robinson, Président des Sélectionneurs des Officiels de Match de Haute Performance Emirates World Rugby.

« La sélection compte 11 débutants, ce qui est vraiment remarquable. Pour eux comme pour nous, il s’agit d’un processus dont l’objectif va au-delà de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027. Certains visent à être au meilleur de leur forme pour l’Australie, tandis que pour tous, nous sommes là pour les soutenir dans l’atteinte de leurs objectifs. C’est très motivant. »

Pour Joël Jutge, le patron des arbitres à World Rugby, « la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 est un objectif important, tout comme la tournée des British and Irish Lions et les débuts du Championnat des Nations (en 2026, ndlr). Nous avons également un œil sur la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2031 et sur l’élargissement du nombre de nations représentées.

« En progressant et en offrant aux nouveaux membres de l’équipe la possibilité d’acquérir de l’expérience, il est important de se souvenir que nous mettons en œuvre une stratégie à long terme dans le cadre d’un calendrier international révisé à partir de 2026. »

Matchs où officiera Pierre Brousset

Samedi 31 août : Argentine vs. Australie à Buenos Aires, Argentine (arbitre assistant)
Samedi 7 septembre : Argentine vs. Australie à Santa Fé, Argentine (arbitre central)

Matchs où officiera Éric Gauzins

Samedi 21 septembre : Australie vs. Nouvelle-Zélande à Sydney, Australie (bunker)
Samedi 28 septembre : Nouvelle-Zélande vs. Australie à Wellington, Nouvelle-Zélande (TMO)

Thats just the thing Teddy, South Africans did not let it go unchallenged.

Maybe make SA your next holiday destination and come see for yourself what a great place it is today. Very different to the past.

Experimental selection must stop for Joe Schmidt’s Bledisloe showdown

Wouldn't mind Muirhead, Cale is injured at the moment and Tua is not Wallaby eligible unfortunately, he was immense for the Brumbies this year.

Actually everyone heard. On the mic. “Wyd kant”.

“Open side”.

Tom Curry is milking this to deflect attention from the fact that he’s an actual cu nt.

Everyone makes mistakes. Steve Smith drops the odd catch...but it seemed like they genuinely didn't know the rules? Seemed concerning but again it may have been a brain explosion.. not sure

Racing 92 star arrested over assault of partner as she held child

This article fails to mention that Habosi was already accused of domestic violence in Fiji back when he was playing for the Drua. Absolutely disgusting behavior, I hope he is properly prosecuted this time.

It was a stitch up Nick! Though by NZR of Schmidt, not NZR of Australia.

There is extra stipulation in WRs availability rules that allow Australia to bring back overseas players for 'camps', would not be a bad idea to do that a month or two after SR starts and before it (and all others) finishes. How many overseas players would abstain though? Probably the majority I would suggest, they will take the risk (as they have leaving Australia) that if they are good enough they will be picked regardless of how much 'cohesion' they provide the team.

I actually like your idea of putting of personal development for the SR sides, join in on the tour all year, not just for that one week and game they have against them. Always like a new Australian way as well. Was that you saying that was every game?

It would be interesting to know the numbers but I'll suggest to you that Australia is probably the most favoured Lions fans touring destination now? And that's not because of the weather ;)

So I don't see any reason for fearing. From all I've experienced of them they'll turn up no matter what. It would more be about how it might change things down the line, which will only be relevant if it becomes endemic, and then the whole Lions discussion factor because irrelevant.

It was a terrible call (if indeed he did call for that highball) and attempt to let that ball bounce. Otherwise apart from being lame I didn't see too much from him to complain about in this hls.

Yep, BIL don't really want a repeat of their South African tour (I think they actually enjoyed/thought it was good for the team losing two/three in NZ, prbably just saving face talk mind you), like and subscribe below 👇

This is all death by overanalysis. Are you trying to say Schmidt would have been wanting them to kick for a lineout, or should have been wanting to kick for their lineout? Those were great clearances they made, and no one in their right mind is going to ask a player of Donaldsons make up to try and clear from a ruck under pressure. That thinking is absurd.

Death by analysis is not something you would associate with Australian rugby, but they have Northern Hemisphere Joe at the helm, perhaps it would still be more accurate to say that the BIL are the ones to fear over analysis.

Editor came up with a great article title for you for once Nick!

Even if it wasn't a matter of "wit kant", or similar misunderstanding, are we really talking about rugby players being unable to take verbals?

Any player that has played more than a few tame games will have got a lot of wind-ups from the opposition, not many of which would have been very politically correct.

The more likely interpretation is that he was not offended at all, but wanted to milk some sort of sanction on SA. That's what the ref concluded, and honestly it's hard to disagree.

Race based politics from an corrupt anc government who eroded everything of value. It does not even have anything to do with race in the first place and more with getting the votes that will get them near the money. My children are not white and my 90 year old grandfather loved them. That was a man that lived through apartheid so yes it has ended. 55mil Bantu and most are only at unskilled labour level because of the goverment. No country will thrive. Just have a look at the rest of BRICS group. It is all about the money now and who has it. The rest is just a sideshow.

It's a great balance of deception isn't it john, when you can consider he could just not select them at all!

The BIL are the definition of a development team. We'll have to see how well Farrell can coach that this sort of level. Gatlands team didn't develop very well and couldn't even beat a poor Springbok side. Those two springbok teams you name are far better than what the group showed against the Lions, so it's all very much in the balance right now.

Australias task is to be able to sustain that level (they'll be telling themselves they did it for 3 and a half tests but I'm a bit dubious).

This BIL team is a bit of a drop from the last one too?

I can see a coherent system at work, I just can't see it working.

But then again, I'm basing that off 'winning', and they shouldn't really be expected to beat Argentina or South Africa, nor even NZ? So might opinion my be flawed/meaningless too.

They did need to come out with some edge.
