Le pilier anglais Joe Marler a confirmé qu’il serait disponible pour le Tournoi des Six Nations 2024, cependant, il a en même temps confirmé la date à laquelle il prendrait sa retraite du rugby.

S’adressant au Times, il a révélé que la fin était proche : « Je suis disponible pour l’Angleterre, mais j’arrêterai le rugby en 2025 ».

Marler, qui a joué un rôle important dans l’équipe de Steve Borthwick lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, compte 88 sélections pour son pays depuis ses débuts en 2012.

Au moment de sa 42^e apparition internationale contre la France en mars 2016, il n’avait manqué que quatre matchs depuis ses débuts, en route vers le Grand Chelem.

Il a déclaré forfait pour la tournée d’été qui a suivi en Australie et a fait une pause dans le rugby avant de rejouer pour l’Angleterre sa 50^e cape lors de l’éclatante victoire contre l’Écosse en mars 2017.

Trois mois plus tard, Joe faisait partie de l’équipe des British and Irish Lions pour la tournée en Nouvelle-Zélande. Il a annoncé sa retraite internationale en septembre 2018 pour passer plus de temps avec sa famille, mais est revenu sur sa décision pour jouer à la Coupe du monde.

Tour fortunes of English Lions blur selection picture for Borthwick

You might be right, but we might see the 7s trying to specialise in different positions going forward so more of them can get in the team. I’ve thought for a while that Pollock’s best position will turn out to be 8, and he might even end up as an 8/12 hybrid. Meanwhile either Underhill or Pepper might have to specialise as a 6 in order to get into the Bath team - let alone the England team.

How group of spoiled Racing 92 players drove Stuart Lancaster 'insane'

Oh right, I thought you were insinuating he played him too much because he was relying on him to help communicate game strategy etc all the time. Maybe that is the reason then. Have you heard anything this year about Damian McKenzie joining them? There was some mention of this option around the time Jordie was announced for Leinster.

New Zealand just needs to look at the NPC to change eligibility laws

As someone from the northern hemisphere, what you have in the NPC is an excellent development tool for young aspiring players. It allows these guys to play up to a level they’ve not experienced. See how you train in the gym, on the training paddock and learn how you react to situations on a pitch. All the things you get from these experienced players. If you have a poorer competition by letting players play overseas, then your competition standards drop.

'The success of Skelton, Hooper and Tupou should trigger a rethink on Australia’s overseas selection criteria'

Relative to his opposition for the jersey, yes, obviously, hence him well.. not getting selected ahead of them.

As I have said in another post though, its not easy, and they might got it wrong putting him behind bobby, or especially not having LSL in for the first test in order to have Hooper starting.

If you’re wanting to rank Hooper (form wise) higher, he would have to have replaced Gleeson really. I’m more inclined to think the last game just suited him more.

I think he’s maybe alluding to the half-backs being called up. Would Aaron Smith (who was apparently in camp) have been a better option than Kyle Preston or Finlay Christie?

There you go, not hard is it.

You might be right though, Wallabies could have brought out the inflatables and played water rugby and the Lions still wouldn’t have done anything to turn things around.

Aussie had better stretches than that in the first two games and didn’t win Nick.

'We struggled': Ex-All Black first five backs Springboks to end Eden Park streak

There is atleast 3/4 players for EVERY position that can slot in at ANY time & it would make no diffs.

I don’t see anything else but a 1-1.

Just because he says he’s ‘raring’ to go two minutes before a test doesn’t mean the coach should swap players out Nick. He’s not SBW!

Well I have the better actual record so I’ll take that over some NH view of the game👍

Yes and it was all conspiracy theories!

hardline/softline on Gleeson/Hooper and others going OS

Same line all the time, if you at the same level as someone else your out, if your better, your in. Gleeson removed from Wallabies camp and replaced by Cale, Cale got injured so Gleeson was back in the reckoning (not that form wouldn’t have mattered more). It’s pretty straightforward and simple.

Over-calmness

What on earth does this mean? He was too cool and changed his players around too much? Hello?

LSL

What’s this about?

things like almost everyone at Waratahs flopping

Again? lol

Reds underperformed

How did the reds underperform? Are you just trying to find a round about way to criticize RA undertaking the process through SR season?

focus on $s from Lions not performance.

There job is to focus on running the game, and getting players signed for 2029. Along with the tough job of bring two made up teams together for the Lions. They’re doing and did exactly what they should be.

I haven’t actually followed the Aussie scene so happy to hear an actual reason/arguments to what these are supposed to mean lol

I feel if he is our best option he will be the 10 at 3 losing world cups. We have people coming thru. I’m angry he is leaving the day after the WC too. I like loyalty. He shows none.

And about time. Hooper is only contracted to Exe for this season as I understand it, but even if the stays in Devon until the WC he should still be a first choice in that B/R.

So Hooper wes picked as rep second row in the first Test when he was ‘out of form’?? And Skelton was left out even though he said he was ‘raring to go’? 🤣🤣

Thank-you BA!

I reckon NPC is underrated quality wise, all blacks look very good in NPC but they aren’t unplayable. If we undermine the NPC what else is going to develop our young talent and provide leadership opportunities for developing Super Rugby players?

Also where does everyone think the fantastic kiwi coaches learn their trade? Not to mention how it gathers support for rugby in the regions Super teams can’t be bothered hosting games…

Thought finau was actually quite good against the French in third test?
