L'Irlande privée d'un joueur d'expérience pour sa tournée d'été

Par Jérémy Fahner

Il y a 50 jours

Iain Henderson va manquer la tournée d'été de l'Irlande (Photo by Patrick Khachfe/Getty Images).

Pas de tournée d’été pour Iain Henderson. Le deuxième ligne irlandais (82 sélections) a subi une opération à un orteil, et manquera par conséquent la série estivale de tests face à l’Afrique du Sud, double championne du monde en titre.

L’Irlande se prépare à affronter les Springboks sur une série de deux test-matchs très attendue en juillet, et Andy Farrell doit désormais composer avec l’absence de Henderson.

Depuis sa première apparition sur la scène internationale en 2012, Henderson est devenu un cadre du XV irlandais. Il a notamment gagné cinq fois le Tournoi des Six Nations (dont deux Grands Chelems).

La province irlandaise a donné des précisions sur la blessure de son capitaine, 32 ans, sur la touche depuis quelques semaines. On sait désormais que l’opération subie ce matin le laissera loin des terrains pendant trois mois.

Bonne nouvelle pour le sélectionneur anglais du Trèfle, un autre deuxième ligne international, James Ryan en l’occurrence, a repris l’entraînement cette semaine avec le Leinster et pourrait participer à la fin de saison de son club.

Henderson, quant à lui, a évidemment mis un terme à sa saison avec l’Ulster, puisqu’il reste deux matchs à disputer contre le Leinster et le Munster, ainsi que d’éventuels matchs de play-offs.

Former Bok captain Victor Matfield launches personal tirade at Sam Warburton

This is sensationalist paraphrasing from an official world rugby owned news site. You should be ashamed. The debate between Swys and Victor was pure quality ranging from picking players on form or for future and if its more important to win this game as Ireland is seen as the best team in the world by some pundits. And all you can take out of it is painting two great former players in a petty poor light. I hope Irish and Welsh fans see my comment as it was not as this “article” says it was.

Toulouse player ratings vs Bordeaux | 2023/24 Top 14 final

After receiving his MOTM award, Dupont said that he made quite a few mistakes. We all saw that he did. But he deserves his 9/10 rating. No idea how Jack Willis is rated with just 8/10 though and I think giving Flament a 6/10 is very harsh, he played as good a game as most of his teammates.

Former Bok captain Victor Matfield launches personal tirade at Sam Warburton

Honestly, I am developing quite a dislike from playing the two SH ‘Giants’ when all you get is this level of toxic Donald Trump type commentary from their so called ‘Greats’. Ireland and Irish supporters just need to play these guys, hopefully beat them and then not have to interact until necessary again. Etsebeth, DeAllende, Kolbe and now Matfield at this childish sh1t. Do SA supporters actually enjoy this nonsense? Again, Rassie won’t be able to put a picture of Sam Warburton on the dressing room wall for motivation. His unpleasant ploy of trying to paint Ireland as arrogant has failed. Ireland are deathly quiet so you can only imagine it is quietly motivating them. Two weeks and then good riddance.

The problem areas Joe Schmidt must address for 'desperate' Wallabies

Nicely summarised, Brett. We should win but there are so many variables and so few guys who are experienced, strong test players in our 23, it’s highly likely we won’t. I’ve had a lazy £50 each on Wales and England at 5.60 as an emotional hedge and because I think those odds are ludicrous.

Rugby is their profession. Why wouldn’t they follow the money and better opportunities. Plenty do it in every other profession that pays you a salary. The ABs have been draining the Polynesian pool of talent for decades. It’s now just moving in cycles.

The problem areas Joe Schmidt must address for 'desperate' Wallabies

Hi Brett, you've given a very clear reading of AUS's on-court behaviour. During RWC2023, their final stint before the international tournament, they conceded penalties above their group average (48 vs 47) and in line with the RWC2023 average as a whole (48). I think the real problem with AUS' indiscipline was due to the instance in which penalties were conceded and the ease with which opponents were able to convert those concessions into points. Increasing the speed of the game, as Eddie Jones intended, required mental support to drive the game accurately and effectively. And that "mental composure" proved difficult to instil in a young team.

Are the All Blacks playing the retention game and losing?

Not sure I get the argument here. There’s many, many players that NZ has “poached” from elsewhere when they were already really good at rugby, offering scholarships to lure them into moving to NZ, qualify for them, and tie them, particularly from the Pacific Islands. Off the top of my head: Fekitoa, Naholo, Reece, Narawa, Sowakula, Sivivatu, Fakatava…

Massive Andy Farrell decision asks three Ireland stars to put their legacies on the line

With some of the players having a peak at long-term Bok ambitions in the back three (Roos, Phepsi, Hanekom, Louw etc etc) for the boks, the Boks might not have the best three in the world - but they certainly have the most consistently excellent back three who can slot in seamlessly. Exciting stuff.

Doesn’t bode well for the future. Pretty shocked to read the NZR financial losses. I thought selling a percentage of equity was supposed to be a AB sovereign fund. By the looks of it, they’re burning through it pretty quick.

Top article again Brett. They should beat Wales and Georgia but 38% overall might be tough to beat with this squad.

We saw what Wales have, against a rusty Bok team that was missing many first choice players. We have not seen what Australia have, but it’s easy to make educated guesses. Schmidt is a smart and meticulous planner with a focus on precision execution. His team do not have tons of experience, nor have they had the opportunity to groove their systems and game plan. But Australia always has athletic players, with a very competitive mindset. We should expect Australia to focus on doing the basics better than Wales, and layering on a keep-control attacking strategy that targets the Wales weaknesses. That probably translates into a “keep alive” approach, with a multi-phase running attack that creates mismatches, line-breaks and space out wide. If Wales bring what they brought at Twickenham then we should expect Australia to win convincingly.

Kiwi players move North because there's more money and/or it's easier to win test caps. It doesn't happen much the other way because we don't have more money and it isn't easier to get into the All Blacks. Not for the reasons stated in the article.

I see Erasmus’s troops have given up on the attempt to frame Ireland as arrogant. A picture of Sam Warburton on the wall in the Loftus Road dressing room might not have the desired effect. Ireland so so silent. Three days til the real talking starts.

How Wayne Smith's fingertips are all over New Zealand's 'Razor' blueprint

Great piece, Nick. This is a really fascinating series. I will support the AB’s against England generally, but I really like this English side. They come into NZ on a rising plane….good RWC,and that after looking very poor in the warm up games. Then the defeat of Ireland. They looked very well organised against Japan, who tried hard with their LQ game, but were swamped in the end. With a new coaching team under Razor, and key players gone forever, or overseas, I really think the AB’s are vulnerable. They won’t replace Whitelock and Retallick to any significant extent this year, I suspect, and they certainly won’t replace Mo’unga either. I am not at all confident that Beauden Barrett will stand up well to this England team, at either 10, unlikely, or at 15, more likely. and he is now in his 34th year of life. Personally, I would not select him at all in the 23. Bottom line, I fear for the AB’s. A loss in the first game, and the knives will start to be unsheathed. Hoskin’s Sotutu’s omission will be a hot topic then, I would think.

How Wayne Smith's fingertips are all over New Zealand's 'Razor' blueprint

Yeah Sotutu was good all year, those assists numbers are crazy. Certainly his workrate looks sus in that table, defensive work well off his teammate (despite both hitting same ruck %), could that be due in part to his lineout roll? Sotutu 40% dominant carry, committing extra tackles 62%. 78% ruck effectiveness on offence, 18% on D. Sititi 55% DC, 65%. 87%, 11. Ioane 35, 70. 80(much high volume that Sotutu with less minutes), 16. Earl 34, 60. 88, 24 (more technical league, easier?) Sotutu also had much high steals and turnovers than all (a fair amount more minutes too though, still higher % I’d say). Of course Sotutu was first chosen after a breakout season, so that he himself likely lost his spot to another with a breakout season doesn’t leave much room to complain. Thing they still might feel with him, is that he is probably the SRP forward equivalent of Shaun Stevenson. That lineout steal is more to do with what I had previously been saying about McMillan not giving Thompson enough prep and game time. He obviously just missread that call and threw it to the front jumper. Stern Verns style though is what we had all been crying out for Ian Foster to embrace in the All Blacks play. It was the only method in which that (2020-22) team could reliably hold the ball while gaining territory. Of course, he also shunned it. Went the other way and selected younger ball carriers and someone who could free up the backline, and we saw no more of Ardie or Samisoni eating up the easy meters. Still a missed trick I thought might return during the RWC. Hit the nail on the head with the setting for this one though, Nick! This is deja vu feeling for me.. there is something else this time as well though.. So often have we heard stories like these (from tourists/strting the year) but when it came down to it, the comparisons were always on different levels. The All Blacks are used to coming out of the blocks and blowing sides away. This very much has that feel. Then theres also the last 4 years that are there, somewhere, giving a feeling of imparting reality that makes you question if the past (history) you know was seen through rose tinted glasses. I really liked JDs begging in his last article, it hinted at it, with line like “we have never lost to Scotland”. Like really? We’ve come down to labelling our Scotland record as our ‘shinning light’ now? But we still have one! And, as I just read JDs French revolution series, this feeling goes all the way back to what, 94, when the French won both games(and then lost in atrocious conditions, again, or whatever in the following years RWC Semi-Final)? The explosive athletes have obviously gone too far one way, and I certainly hope there is a bit of subtlety to come our way soon. ALB doesn’t provide it at Int anymore, I certainly hope Havili is not asked to try his hand again at showing the way. Players like Poihipi, Plummer, Nanai-Seturo are just a call away. I miss my Smith’s and ageless Nonu in the backline. I certainly don’t want it continuing in that direction and players like AJ Lam being thought of in the midfield. Did you near choke when you heard Mils Muliaina (another in that above preferred category) say who he thought would be the playmakers?
