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

How leviathan Will Skelton and the Wallabies reversed the World Cup fiasco

No he was on his uppers and out of contract when Saracens came calling, and he was the fourth ranked second row when he joined them. It was his last chance saloon as a pro player. and he had to fight for his place for the first time in his career. Nothing to do with money.

Let's be real about these All Blacks

The opening loss to Argentina by 38-30..

Was anything but fine margins, the scoreline was flattering for that game. They were beat in every margin but most emphatically be effort of Argentina. They were slow and likely arrogant in their prep following the England series. You can see the effect on the selection and poor messaging all the playmakers started receiving from the coaching setup there after.

Otherwise though there was also a lot of really good stuff that can too easily be labelled as lucky by people intent on making a point. The team was far from certain and clinical though and the best that can be said of their losses was that they were largely due to some atrocious decisions with cards twice against SA and the neckroll last weekend (you can't take away the 14 point try, that is typical French rugby and to be expected).

This team is good enough to be able to cope with those sorts of difficulties if they could just execute a bit better (but only as well as they have traditionally mind you). Sound selections aside. Some good positivity in this article but we know it's not going to be easy as the ABs have just been trying to return to their DNA after Fosters control but countries like Aussie have a much bigger task in that respect and SA is even trying to change their DNA (again). Those two opponents (along with France obviously) are going to provide some tough competition in seeing who can lead into the 2027 RWC with the best prospects and form behind them.

Well he's had four this season, mostly they can be numbered on the fingers of one hand per season. Rare birds.

Gustard got promoted to head coach at Stade Francais so maybe he wanted to stay in France?

No thanks! If you cannot see the diff between a defence that conceded 12 tries at home in their last three home games, and 17 in 7 on Jones' watch [five of those away] it's your problem, not mine. Go work it out.

IDK I feel the 'best' team for this week would have included fresher faces.

I will actually give a bit of Kudos to Razor if the players he's chosen all give it their 100%. I just don't see them as having the energy left to do it myself.

Ratima? He needs to get some good coaching, for sure, he should get that back at the Chiefs though and can at least come in roaring again next year. Hopefully Razor's team has it's messaging sorted by then (as it's obvious they don't know what they want from their halves atm).

Haha I agree, never seen a coach cry out for some divine contract signings and inspiration as much as Razor is.

they have chosen to leave NZ rugby for pay days.

They've done better than a lot of recent retired greats who forced themselvse on the ABs by staying too long.

Leaving now is the last think you can criticise these players for.

Hopefully that's the case for Havili as well. Really need the like's of McCleod to step up at the Crusaders. Lakai has the same position. Hopefully he can just get 30min to empty his tank so he doesn't run dry like he did last week. Perofeta is next in line but theres so much competition now, esp with Tele'a returning.

Well it's a bit disappointing injury hasn't been as much of a selector as I'd hoped for the AB's this weekend.

At least week got ALB in there and they made the call to let Ratima concentrate on building for another go next year already. Upgrades in both positions for me though I'd like it the otherway round, to not be.

Happy for Patrick to earn his start this week, along with EDG.

Mo'unga, please come back home ASAP, we need saving as I'm not sure Razor knows that his captain, Ardie, and Reiko have literally played every test this year, and we can all see he's given you the big desperate PLEASE with these selections.

What you say is true, but it's a new coach with a different structure and cohesiveness takes time. To be honest, despite the losses, the AB's looked more dangerous this year and more exciting.

So rather than the autonomous two legged creature they had playing 10 last week you'd just rather they had no 10 at all this week? Just play Dmac at 15 and he making up enough magic to cover both positions players?

DMac will have to make sure he can find and rip out the battery of that poor test vehicle they have at 10 so he can stop it changing lanes in front of him an slowing traffic down!

Autumn Nations Series 2024: Everything you need to know about round four

France got a typically french 14 point try last week and they'll need to look for chances for another couple to be comfortable in the win against Argentina.

Fiji could actually be the ones for upset of the week. Typically clunky with players always in and out of their team this would be about the time they put another England beating performance in against Ireland.

SA to be as strong again this week carrying away from their opposition. Probably an underpar performance though.

New Zealand will be determined to actually put the triple figure score on the Azzurri this time. In actual fact a tired and physically beaten AB side has been chosen for this one so expect to see some space and free flowing rugby from both teams but still nothing more than a 30 point gap between them.

Aussie will be thwarted by a draw in their Slam attempt, otherwise another 1 point game either way.

Lets hope Japan is selecting more of its stop starters like France's Tavita Tatafu's cousin, Tavita Tatafu, otherwise it could be the biggest scoreline game of the weekend.
