Rugby à 7 : la fois où Stephen Parez a failli tout arrêter

Stephen Parez-Edo Martin est désormais le seul vétéran de l’équipe de France d rugby à 7. Jonathan Laugel ayant raccroché les crampons juste avant les Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, Stephen entame à Dubaï ce 30 novembre sa 11e saison sur le circuit mondial de rugby à 7. Mais il a bien failli ne jamais la vivre.

C’est ce qu’il raconte en toute transparence dans le 5e chapitre de la saison 3 du BastaShow à voir en exclusivité sur RugbyPass TV.

L’épisode s’est déroulé il y a un an à peu près. France 7 entame sa saison et cela fait 19 ans que l’équipe n’a plus rien gagné sur le circuit mondial. En plus cette année est marquée par les Jeux olympiques à domicile et ça s’enclenche mal. A Dubaï début décembre 2023, France 7 passe à côté du premier tournoi de la saison et termine à la 9e place.

Un début de saison mal enclenché

Le doute s’installe dans les esprits et en particulier dans celui de Stephen Parez-Edo Martin.

« Au début de saison, je suis allé voir Jérôme Daret. Je lui ai dit ‘Jérôme, j’en ai ras le cul, on fait que perdre, on est à ça, on se tue à l’entrainement’ », raconte-t-il. « Je ne voulais pas croire que les autres s’entrainent plus que nous car personne ne trichait. »

Le tournoi au Cap le week-end suivant est légèrement mieux : 8e. les fêtes de fin d’année se passent et la caravane reprend sa route en Australie où la France termine 6e. Puis vient la tournée en Amérique du Nord qui commence à Vancouver où la France termine sur le podium avec Antoine Dupont qui vient de rejoindre les rangs.

C’est à ce moment-là que tout s’est débloqué. Dans les premiers jours de mars, France 7 décroche la médaille d’or au tournoi de Los Angeles ; Dupont, remplaçant sur la finale, est déterminant sur le tournoi.

Un effet Dupont

« On n’avait pas envie de passer pour un mauvais joueur à côté de lui ! », rigole Parez. « A Los Angeles on a eu des bons tirages et on se sentait puissants. On savait que personne ne pouvait nous gagner, on craignait personne. »

« Je ne pense pas qu’il y ait quelque chose qui s’est fait ponctuellement, à un moment donné. Je pense que ça a vraiment été une construction », analyse Stephen Parez après coup. « Si on regarde les années passées, la performance a commencé à grimper au fur et à mesure des années.

« Le déclic a plus été dans le fait que chaque joueur s’est approprié le plan de jeu, les objectifs que l’on s’était donné et œuvrait à chaque entrainement pour ça. On s’élevait chacun à chaque entrainement pour en ressortir meilleur et comprendre pourquoi on fait cet entrainement. On essayait de transposer tout ce qu’on faisait en match, sur le terrain. »

Quelques mois plus tard, France 7 gagnait le championnat avec sa deuxième médaille d’or de la saison à Madrid, puis fin juillet la médaille d’or aux Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024.

Avec 76 tournois dans les jambes, 381 sélections et 104 essais, Stephen Parez Edo Martin est reparti pour une saison de plus, bien décidé à battre de nouveaux records.

'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

Well obviously NZR is not beholden to revenue then Marshall.


And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.


So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.


We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.


NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.
