Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, les deux premières équipes au monde ne s’étaient encore jamais rencontrées dans le cadre de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Ce choc de Titans était d’autant plus attendu que ces deux équipes figurent parmi les favoris au titre.

C’est finalement les Irlandais de la légende Jonny Sexton qui est sortie vainqueur de ce (premier ?) duel au terme d’une rencontre âprement disputée.

Une pénalité de Manie Libbok a permis à l’Afrique du Sud de prendre l’avantage alors que la touche irlandaise était défaillante, perdant quatre de ses propres lancers, mais la percée sensationnelle de Bundee Aki a redonné vie à l’équipe.

Après avoir campé dans les 22 des Springboks, la pression s’est fait sentir et James Lowe a libéré Mack Hansen qui a plongé, la transformation de Johnny Sexton donnant aux Irlandais une avance de 7-3 à la pause.

L’Afrique du Sud a réagi à la reprise lorsque Libbok a fait une longue passe à Cheslin Kolbe pour un essai, mais la pénalité de Sexton a permis à l’Irlande de reprendre l’avantage. Libbok et Faf de Klerk ont tous deux manqué de nouvelles occasions de marquer avant que la pénalité de Jack Crowley en fin de match ne vienne sceller une victoire capitale.

L’Afrique du Sud disputera son dernier match dans la Poule B le contre les Tonga le 1er octobre à Marseille tandis que l’Irlande a rendez-vous avec l’Écosse au Stade de France le samedi 7 octobre.

'The Wallabies only have themselves to blame': How the Lions sunk Australia in Melbourne

I agree, the comparison to Rassie in 2021 is unfair. Schmidt despite being highly emotional was scrupulous in not making it a personal grudge match, and in the circumstances I think he behaved in a decent way. What Rassie did was unhinged and extreme. Why fudge the two together? It’s much more common for coaches to do what Joe did, and it was unusual for him, he resisted efforts of journo’s to get him talking about the cards that weren’t in Test 1. He’s taken exception in this instance, if he was doing it all the time I’d dismiss it, but he’s got some cred so I take it a little more seriously when he speaks up.


Otherwise Mr Bishop/ Nick you have yet again proven your acumen as a selector and tactician this series, making calls before not after the event, like any good analyst would. Schmidt was cruelled by injuries this series, more than was apparent initially. In both games injuries to Bobby V and Skelton’s fitness hampered the WBs, and Gleeson in Test 1, and Noah before, and JAS leading in. Picking TT would have been a huge risk after SR form, but yes, seems like it would have been worth taking in hindsight and many were suggesting before. We just don’t have the depth for that not to make a big impact. But Joe seems to have put his chips on Williams as long termer and is investing in him, like he did players in Ireland, when Williams is yet to deliver in this series (although the lineout has been solid when he’s on). Perhaps his time will come. JAS defence is perhaps the biggest issue as Nick you’ve pointed out now on multiple occasions. I just get flummoxed myself thinking about it, as any solution creates another problem, perhaps he just needs time and it just had to be this way….At the very least we need an A/B test and see what the experiment uncovers.


As an Australian I stick to the paradoxical blend of unrealistic optimism and fatalism in reflecting on these decisions that has at once been the blessing and cruse of our culture historically.
