La fédération portugaise a annoncé que l’Irlande et le Portugal s’affronteront pour la première fois de leur histoire durant l’été 2025.

Alors que les Lions britanniques et irlandais seront en tournée en Australe avec le sélectionneur irlandais Andy Farrell à leur tête, les actuels N.1 mondiaux au classement World Rugby auront un mois de juillet bien rempli.

« Nous avons essayé d’organiser deux matchs contre les meilleures équipes du monde, mais le calendrier est serré et ça n’a pas été possible », a déclaré le président de la fédération portugaise au média lusitanien Observador.

« Mais comme nous avons réussi à conserver notre place au classement mondial, les top nations voient d’un bon œil de nous affronter. Ce qui, je peux le confirmer, va nous permettre de jouer face à l’Irlande durant l’été 2025. »

L’Irlande en tournée en Roumanie et en Géorgie, puis au Portugal ?

Le lieu de la rencontre n’est pour le moment pas décidé. Mais comme cela a été annoncé en juillet dernier, l’Irlande est prête à faire une tournée en Roumanie et en Géorgie l’été prochain, ce qui laisse croire que le Portugal pourrait accueillir l’affiche.

Dernièrement, les Lobos ont occupé l’Estádio Nacional do Jamor et l’Estádio do Restelo, deux stades de football. Cependant, on s’attend à ce que le match se déroule dans l’un des stades les plus modernes du pays. L’Estádio Alvalade XXI et l’Estádio da Luz constituent les deux options les plus attrayantes.

En juillet, le directeur de la performance de la fédération irlandaise (IRFU) David Humphreys a dévoilé les raisons de cette tournée dans les pays dits émergents dans les colonnes de l’Irish Independent.

« Pour le moment, la Géorgie et la Roumanie sont au calendrier. Il reste à confirmer exactement comment cela va s’organiser, mais nous avons la volonté d’offrir une opportunité aux joueurs qui n’y participent pas [à celle des Lions]. »

La dernière rencontre entre l’Irlande et la Roumanie s’est soldée par une victoire 82-8 du XV du Trèfle, lors de la Coupe du Monde 2023. Trois ans auparavant, les Irlandais avaient battu la Géorgie 23-10 à l’occasion de l’Autumn Nations Cup 2020.

Forget Ireland, the All Blacks face the real alpha of Europe next

Unfortunately you don't know anything about French rugby, coaches and players but still making a lot of assumptions and judgements to push your prefabricated and simplistic point of view that Dupont is manipulating everything and is a bad guy. I am not a NZ rugby specialist and wouldn't dare make such theories about what is going on within the ABs team. Therefore my advice to you is to do like Dupont and stay humble when you don't know all the background of the issues !!!


Firstly if you knew a bit of Galthié, he is not the type of coach who is going to ask advice to his players and even his captain about team selection. He is as stubborn as you...


Second Ramos has played a lot of times as 10 with Toulouse and therefore Dupont (in particular when Ntamack is injured and unfortunately it has often happened recently and for long periods). He even played 10 during the last 3 games of the 2024 6N and this was far better performance than the first two games with Jalibert as 10.


Thirdly Jalibert lacked of respect to a La Rochelle player so your theory is once again out.


Fourth as I explained to you Galthié went for a 6-2 bench and Jalibert can only play 10 which doesn't fit that plan. Furthermore as 15 Buros is better under high balls than Ramos and everybody is prepared for a tactical kicking game.


So you can blame Galthié for a lot of things (as you clearly enjoy doing at the end of your post and you should be very happy as an AB fan) but certainly not Dupont. Sorry once more for your conspiracy theory.


And don't worry about potential disharmony in the French team; they are excellent mates around their captain. Jalibert is well known in the French rugby circles to have not a strong character (and we saw that in the WC quarter finals as he is very nervous in any decisive international game unlike Ntamack and Ramos as for his late penalty kick vs England this year).


In conclusion enjoy the game tmrw night. It is good that the ABs are very upset; we should watch a great game of rugby. I hope for running rugby and not too much kicking. With 5 key players injured on our side (Ntamack, Baille, Atonio, Cros and Penaud) and 2 on your side I and various French fans see you as favourites. I obviously hope for another result.


If you are interested you can read a good article in the Guardian on the subject of France-NZ games.

The 'one difference' between Boks and the back-to-back All Blacks

Consistency hasnt been there they have many great players SA were also not unbeaten in the 2023 WC - NZ were in 2015 WC McCaw and Carter Nonu and Smith - SA did not have those Marque players in those postions in 2019 or 2023 - I wouldnt rank them ahead of the 20I5 ABs - They clocked up 60 points against France in the QF - Furthermore I do not believe for one moment SA won 2023 fairly no way - they were so favoured it became obvious that behind the scenes SA the nation bought the title - Their last 3 matches were won by a solitary point there were many contentious decisions that went their way that it became obvious it wasnt coincidence - Sport has been hijacked by a satanic cult just as is Politics

Some players coaches officials and sponsors are involved - they know who they are - its called Freemasonry - any sport that allows betting is corrupt - its not all about money either for these parasites its also about control - Lots of American NFL players have spoken openly about games being scripted - Football is also rigged Referees have been caught on film showing freemason hand signs - The 95 RWC final ranks as the highest and most obvious attempt at cheating There was no way SA were going to allow NZ to gate crash Nelson Mandelas reunification party - NZ were so good they had to posion almost the entire team to get a 3 point win - a Hollywood Movie ( theres your Red Flag ) was made about SAs triumph called Invictus


William Henley wrote a poem called Invictus


It starts


Out of the night that covers me BLACK ( All Blacks ) as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever GODS maybe for my unconquerable Soul ...( Olan says INVICTUS is an evil Malevolent entity who corrupted the Titans ... this is Mandelas double meaning speech ( hes a fraud ) - of thanks for helping overcome SA's adversary NZ - There is only ONE true God Yahuah - Only a false god would be complicit in Cheating Corruption and Harming others to win a RWC for a sick and sinful Nation ) the poem ends with


I am the CAPTAIN of my soul


SA will forever bear the stain of guilt and disgrace over their involvement in poisoning the ABs a day before the 95 RWC Final
