Racing 92 : Stuart Lancaster parti pour rester

Les rumeurs qui disaient Stuart Lancaster insatisfait et sur le départ du Racing 92 sont infondées, a appris RugbyPass ce jeudi soir.

L’entraîneur en chef du Racing 92 Stuart Lancaster va rester en place à la tête du club francilien en dépit des rumeurs de départ, selon les informations recueillies par RugbyPass.

Les médias ont évoqué cette semaine l’insatisfaction de l’ancien sélectionneur de l’Angleterre vis-à-vis de sa situation actuelle au sein du club de Top 14, et le fait qu’il convoitait le poste d’entraîneur principal du Munster. Mais selon des sources bien placées au Racing, cela semble totalement faux.

De plus, la réunion de ce jeudi qui aurait eu lieu était en réalité un repas de Noël, et les réunions de dirigeants ne concernaient pas l’avenir du coach.

Lancaster a quitté le Leinster en 2023 après un septennat de succès à Dublin, et il lui reste deux ans et demi de contrat sur les quatre ans de l’engagement paraphé avec les ‘ciel et blanc’. Il a bien l’intention d’aller au terme de ce contrat.

La question de Dan, le fils de Stuart Lancaster

Sans oublier qu’une arrivée du technicien au Munster aurait été surprenante, vu son histoire au Leinster.

Certaines rumeurs laissaient entendre que les joueurs du Racing n’étaient pas contents que Lancaster aligne son fils, Dan, ancien international anglais U20. Mais il ne faut pas oublier que le club est bien sûr privé d’Owen Farrell, qui serait le premier choix en N.10 dans des circonstances normales.

Après deux week-ends consacrés à l’Investec Champions Cup, au cours desquels le Racing a remporté une victoire contre les Harlequins et s’est incliné contre les Sale Sharks, le club se tourne désormais à nouveau vers le Top 14 pour les trois semaines à venir, avec un déplacement à Montpellier samedi et la réception de Lyon à La Défense Arena une semaine plus tard.

Les joueurs de Lancaster se situent actuellement à la 8e place du Top 14, avec seulement cinq victoires en 11 matchs.

Pendant ce temps, Le Munster est toujours à la recherche d’un successeur à Graham Rowntree, licencié en octobre. Ian Costello assure l’intérim depuis, tandis que l’ancien entraîneur des Northampton Saints, Chris Boyd, a rejoint le club dans un rôle de consultant. Ce qui semble certain, c’est que Lancaster ne déménagera pas à Thomond Park.

'The Wallabies need to convert much better - or Melbourne could be much worse'

Nice one as always Brett. I think the stats hide a bit of the dominance the lions had, and they would look alot worse in that first half when the game was more in the balance. You mention it here but I think it hasn’t been talked about enough was the lineout. The few times the wallabies managed to exit their half and get an opportunity to attack in the 1st half, the lineout was lost. This was huge in terms of lions keeping momentum and getting another chance to attack, rather than the wallabies getting their chance and to properly ‘exit’ their half. The other one you touch on re “the will jordan bounce of the ball” - is kick chase/receipt. I thought that the wallabies kicked relatively well (although were beaten in this area - Tom L rubbish penalty kicks for touch!), but our kick receipt and chase wasn’t good enough jorgenson try aside. In the 1st half there was a moment where russell kicked for a 50:22 and potter fumbled it into touch after been caught out of position, lynagh makes a similar kick off 1st phase soon after and keenan is good enough to predict the kick, catch it at his bootlaces and put a kick in. That kick happened to go out on the full but it was a demonstration on the difference in positioning etc. This meant that almost every contested kick that was spilled went the way of the lions, thats no accident, that is a better chase, more urgency, more players in the area. Wallabies need to be better in who fields their kicks getting maxy and wright under most of them and Lynagh under less, and the chase needs to be the responsibility of not just one winger but a whole group of players who pressure not just the catch but the tackle, ruck and following phase.

Competing interests and rotated squads: What the 'player welfare summer' is really telling us

Thanks for the further background to player welfare metrics Nick.


Back on the last article I noted that WR is now dedicating a whole section in their six-point business plan to this topic. It also noted that studies indicated 85-90% of workload falls outside of playing. So in respect to your point on the classification of ‘involvements’, needing to include even subs with a low volume of minutes, it actually goes further to the wider group of players that train as if they’re going to be required to start on the weekend. That makes even the 30-35 game borderline pale into insignificance.


No doubt it is one of the main reasons why France has a quota on the number of any one clubs amount of players in their International camps, where they rotate in other clubs players through the week (those not chosen in the 23 on Tues/Wed must be rotated out with players from another club for the remaining weeks prep). The number of ‘invisible’ games against a players season tally or predicted workload suggests the FFRs 25 game limit as more appropriate?


So if we take it at face value that Galthie and the FFR have got it right, only a dozen players from the last 60 international caps should have gone on this tour. More players from the ‘Scotland 23’ than the more recent 23 were eligible.


The only real pertinent question is what do players prefer more, health or money? There are lots of ethical decisions, like for instance whether France could make a market like Australia’s where their biggest rugby codes have yearly broadcast deals of 360 and 225 million euros. They do it by having a 7/8 month season, but ultimately if they don’t want it to change they can just play 11 months in the season instead.
