World Rugby U20 Championship

U20 : La Nouvelle-Zélande l’emporte d’un cheveu sur la France

STELLENBOSCH, AFRIQUE DU SUD - 4 JUILLET : Lino Julien (France U/20) pendant le match entre la Nouvelle-Zélande et la France le 4 juillet 2024 lors de la deuxième journée du Championnat U20 qui se tient au Danie Craven Stadium de Stellenbosch, en Afrique du Sud. (Photo par Nic Bothma/World Rugby)

La Nouvelle-Zélande a battu la France 27-26 et pris la tête de la poule A après la deuxième journée du Championnat du Monde U20 en Afrique du Sud.

Après une première période maîtrisée, la France U20 menait 11-0 face à une équipe de Nouvelle-Zélande trop souvent sans solution. L’essai de Xan Mousques (4^e) complété par deux pénalités de Hugo Reus laissait craindre une revanche de la Nouvelle-Zélande en seconde période.

La réaction ne s’est pas faite attendre avec un essai du trois-quarts centre Aki Tuivailala (44^e) qui sera suivi d’un autre de l’ailier Stanley Solomon (52^e) après un joli leurre. Entre-temps l’interception du troisième-ligne aile Joe Quere Karaba aura permis de conserver l’avance de la France.

Mais le carton jaune de Léo Carbonneau (56^e) a coûté cher avec un essai du demi de mêlée Dylan Pledger après une mêlée à cinq mètres sur introduction tricolore (62^e), puis un quatrième de Manumaua Letiu sur ballon porté (67^e). L’essai de Mathis Ferté (73^e) et le carton jaune de Joshua Smith (77^e) permettait aux Français de souffler après cette rencontre d’une intensité étouffante. Mais une pénalité de Rico Simpson qui a frôlé le poteau droit à la dernière seconde (80^e) libérait les Néo-Zélandais.

Number one settled while Wales drop to lowest ever world ranking

So based on irish logic: SA beat England and NZ by a point at last matchup but now NZ beats England by one. So I reckon NZ has now moved to joint number one. So if SA can put in their diary to have the cup ready to hand over for our 50% in Nov 2025 that would be appreciated. Also Ireland now way off as lost to both nz and sa by way more than 1. So England must be no 3. Not sure who finished third at rwc but likely them so they can hang on to their bronze medals for now. Boy this pseudo world champ stuff is so complex to keep track of.

Mick Cleary: 'England had a chance. They blew it. They need to take that hurt and use it.'

The ABs will need to improve somewhat to stop this being 1-1 Its at Eden Park which is good As I predicted the first test was very close and the ABs were lucky to escape which will serve them well I think The ABs looked clunky in all facets and the talented English provided the threat I expected after beating Ireland and nearly France - they are very good! The good news is the ABs dominated key stats like clean breaks, defenders beaten, turnovers and offloads But were porous on defence in the red zone for England’s try’s so England were more accurate and more of a nuisance at the BD which is no surprise with the imperious Maro and Earl Christie’s service was awful, slow getting to rucks but his box kicking was good I expect Christie to be the only change with Ratima on the bench but it would be tempting to slot in the two behemoth props on the bench, proctor and Clarke on the bench too

South Africa had the best of play but Farrell is absolutely correct to use the correct channels and bring issuesto attention ahead of the next test. That’s his role as head coach and he must do it to make sure his team have a more even rub of the green in Durban. If World Rugby are trying to protect players than why was Snyman’s foul play on Casey not penalized? As well as hitting him long after the ball is gone, Snyman uses all his force to smash Casey into the ground knocking him unconcious….then Snyman slides his body up Caseys and uses his head to push Casey’s head into the ground again. Real scvmbag stuff. They won’t thank him in Munster or Leinster for that. We don’t like cowards.

perhaps if offside had been called properly the difference may have been larger. You need to bring more than a rush defence to beat NZ… you also need a few cards.

How England's blitz ground All Blacks to a standstill

Notoriously difficult to kick in Dunedin. Dmac is a good kicker that also struggled. If the poor kicking continues at Eden Park then it's a concern, but it wouldn't stop me wanting Marcus at ten especially with Slade in the side. Fin doesn't look ready to take the reigns, he looks scared of making mistakes and isn't expressing himself. I'm more concerned by us going back to using the grubber kick so much. I hope with the confidence gained from running the ABs so close, we will see a bit more of the running game which worked so well against Ireland. Mitchell and Furbank did their best to create but there was a lot of hesitancy ball in hand amongst the backs. There wasn't the same commitment we saw in the 6N and we looked like we were caught between a pre-game plan to kick and the instinct to play heads-up. I want to see Freeman get involved more, he needs to take a leaf from Telea. He's wasted sat on the wing. We need him popping up in midfield, hitting running lines. Spencer coming on is an issue for me. Going from a high tempo 9 to a more pragmatic one isn't going to work, we will continue to lose momentum as we have in the last two games Spencer has played. He's a very good player but he's not one you want replacing Alex Mitchell. Randall's kicking is highly suspect but we have to take the risk.

Great article Nick, as always. Question for you - do any teams play better against the rush D? And are there any common denominators in the approach to get the better of it?

Mick Cleary: 'England had a chance. They blew it. They need to take that hurt and use it.'

Match played out almost exactly as expected, right down to England losing all momentum when Spencer and Fin Smith came on. Contrary to what the Kiwis expected with a dominant English pack, our true strength is our aggression off the ball and ability to shut down the ABs offense. The only thing which I didn't foresee was our lack of cohesion with ball in hand, we should have been better. We didn't protect the ball well enough and went back to too many silly attacking kicks. Despite Furbank’s best efforts to drag us into the match ball in hand as he did against Ireland, the inside backs looked uncharacteristically jittery (Mitchell aside). Both kickers struggled and I'm sure Marcus will regain form. He's a good kicker who had a bad day. I hope we will gain confidence from coming so close and throw a few more punches with ball in hand, we need to look after the ball, build phases and build pressure. I really hope we can find the mettle and energy to back up that second half defensive performance at Eden Park. That's a big if, but I believe if we can defend that well again, the attack will be improved and we will win. It's going to take a great performance though. Only selection concerns for me are on the bench, especially the halfbacks. I like Fin Smith but he's not shown anything in an England shirt yet, he should stay on the bench unless Marcus is injured, we could also consider using Slade as the backup 10, that's a big risk but Fin hasn't looked up to the task yet. That's not to say he won't in years to come but he's been underwhelming, even his late touch finder was conservative when we needed to be taking risks. Another big risk is bringing Randall back. I think it's necessary though, his kicking is bad but we can't afford to lose that momentum again. After Spencer came on as he did in the Six Nations we lost all tempo and didn't fire a shot in anger for the rest of the match. We need a backup 9 who can play like Mitchell, the only option is Randall. He needs to improve prove his kicking but Mitchell is the beating heart of this team and we can't afford to lose that energy when he goes off. Having a game managing 9 starting and bringing on a high tempo 9 as a finisher a proven formula, it doesn't work the other way round. You can't build your team round a Mitchell and then throw in a Spencer after 60 mins and expect it to work.

Desiree Miller scores four as Wallaroos run away with big win over Fiji

Our Wallaroos are a very talented team but never get any credit in the Media in Perth. It’s all about the AFL. WAN is a terrible Sports reporting paper. The Wallabies won and got four inches of a column in the Sports section. The ABs win got one small paragraph. What a disgrace!

All Blacks vs England takeaways: The Perenara fade away, Razor's defensive concern

I actually thought BB coming on restored some much needed structure. He did lose one kicking battle, but whatever we were trying to do between minutes 30 and 50 was not working and getting worse. All of the ABs history with rush defence shows you can’t go around it from static ball, you have to punch holes through it, and/or kick earlier in the phase count. DMac kicks as a last resort, with back foot ball, under pressure. Whereas BB will seize an opportunity to do it on the first phase on the front foot if it will put pressure on, which he did beautifully a couple of times. Fans don’t like this but it made a bug difference on Saturday. Simply going through the hands, as the ABs reverted to doing, often in their own half, was starting to look like the disastrous NH tour of 2021. I hope they vary their kicking game a bit more next week. Maybe not just BB, but the whole bench completely changed the game. Reiko was average and ALB must now be putting some serious pressure on him, and Vaa’i made a huge difference when he came on. It’s a shame we don’t have more locks to give him some genuine game time at 6. Finau seems like the type of player that would really relish an arm wrestle, but he was fairly quiet, and Vaa’i had a noticeable impact. Perofeta was possibly the biggest surprise. Came in with a bit of a question mark, not on his ability but being the first choice 15, and he was excellent. England preferred to kick to DMac so I don’t think Perofeta was under any high ball pressure, but he added a lot of attacking intent coming into the line that BB doesn’t really provide.

Kwagga Smith and three other South Africa vs Ireland talking points

As a Bok supporter I totally agree with your take on the booze at rugby matches. It makes for boorish behaviour and sends a message to the international stage that rugby is all about how much alcohol you could consume. Some of the Book supporters are an embarrassment when they scream “Bokke” into the mike holding up a. Can of beer or brandy and coke. I say this as someone from a rugby family with Springboks, provincial, club ancestry not just some armchair critic. From a rugby point of view I would like to see Roos, and perhaps Later Hanekom come in at No 8. Furthermore, one will watch the new style the Boks are developing with interest. The match itself failed to live up to its expectations. Too many mistakes from both sides. Second test will be tighter and possibly a low scoring match. One is impressed with the Irish grit. Trust supporters will treat each other with respect

I don't think Christie has yet summoned up the courage to start challenging around the rucks. That will help the attack flourish more when he's on the field.

Scott Robertson's take on Marcus Smith and the England players who impressed

He moved to NZ aged 4 and having never touched a rugby ball. He moved back to England over 15 years later, 100% a kiwi and product of the NZ rugby system. Almost as kiwi as Stoksey or Gatland

Rieko, as he has been for quite some time now, was complete rubbish. The usual ball security issues and lack of vision as a centre. The sooner Proctor jumps ahead of him at 13 the better.
