Rugby féminin : la réalité derrière le championnat Elite 1

Alors que la première rencontre de Elite 1 féminine entre l’ASM Romagnat et le Stade Bordelais est retransmis le 2 novembre sur Canal +, plongée dans la réalité du rugby féminin en France.

On est le 6 octobre 2024, deuxième journée du championnat d’Elite 1, l’échelon le plus haut de la pyramide des compétitions féminines de Rugby à XV en France. Pour cette année, le format a été revu et amélioré autour d’une seule poule de dix équipes avec une phase qualificative en Aller/Retour, soit 18 journées.

Six sur dix sont rattachées à des clubs professionnels, contrairement aux quatre autres, dont Bobigny qui a évité de justesse la relégation la saison passée, alors que le Stade français, l’autre club d’Ile-de-France, a été relégué. Rennes, Lille et Blagnac sont les trois autres équipes dans la même situation que Bobigny.

En ce début d’automne donc, une pluie fine inonde le terrain synthétique du complexe sportif Jean-Guimier de Tremblay-en-France, en région parisienne sur lequel 30 joueuses s’affrontent, les joueuses de Bobigny et de Grenoble.

L’AC Bobigny 93 Rugby, 5e au classement après trois journées, y a temporairement délocalisé ses matchs pour rénover son stade.

La rencontre, comptant pour la deuxième journée de l’Élite 1, était prévue initialement à 15 h mais a été avancée de deux heures, à la demande du club de Grenoble, pour que les joueuses puissent rentrer plus tôt du long voyage en bus qui les attendait. « Car lundi, il faut être au travail », rappelait Léo Brissaud, l’entraîneur des Amazones.

Seules les internationales sont semi-pro

Les Grenobloises sont rentrées finalement bredouilles de leur week-end dans la banlieue nord-est de Paris avec une défaite 24-10, dominées en mêlée, en touche et sur les impacts physiques. Les quarts-de-finalistes de la saison passée jouaient toutefois sans leurs meilleures joueuses, six internationales étant au même moment au Canada pour le WXV avec l’équipe de France.

Les joueuses internationales, à XV ou à VII, sont les seules à bénéficier d’un statut semi-professionnel, avec un salaire pris en charge par la fédération, qui leur donne la priorité pour les matchs et rassemblements.

Pour les autres, les rémunérations liées au rugby sont principalement des « défraiements » et restent modestes, comme le souligne l’entraîneur de Grenoble.

« Aujourd’hui, une des premières causes d’arrêt » dans le rugby féminin de haut niveau est due au décalage entre « le niveau d’exigence attendu et les conditions dans lesquelles on met les joueuses », estime-t-il.

Un budget modeste

Du côté de Bobigny, l’ancienne internationale Clémence Gueucier, devenue directrice sportive, partage ce constat. Bien que « ce ne soit pas le même marché » que le Top 14 masculin, « on demande globalement aux joueuses d’avoir un investissement quasi identique : regarder les matchs, faire de l’analyse, trois séances hebdomadaires de musculation minimum, des entraînements… la récupération, le développement individuel… »

Elle raconte : « Il arrive que des joueuses nous disent ‘je ne peux pas jouer car mon employeur ne me libère pas’. »

Le budget de l’équipe féminine de Grenoble est d’environ 350 000 euros pour une saison, selon Léo Brissaud, et celui de Bobigny est d’environ 400 000 euros, d’après Marc-Henri Kugler, coordinateur de la filière féminine.

Ce budget a doublé en cinq ans. « Le rugby féminin se professionnalise par les structures » – kinés, aides pour le logement, équipements – mais « pas par les joueuses », faute de modèle économique, note Kugler.

RugbyPass TV avait ouvert la voie il y a un an

Le fait que Canal +, diffuseur historique du Top 14 et de la Pro D2 commence à retransmettre les matchs du championnat féminin semble une aubaine pour tout le monde et dans la suite logique de l’évolution du sport.


RugbyPass TV avait ouvert la voie lors de la saison précédente en retransmettant, chaque week-end et gratuitement, au moins un match du Premiership Women’s Rugby, le championnat anglais.

« Le Premiership Women’s Rugby est un championnat incroyable : 50 % des joueuses qui ont participé à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2021 évoluent en Angleterre, ce qui fait de ce championnat une compétition incroyable à laquelle nous voulons continuer à donner accès », déclarait alors James Rothwell, directeur du marketing et des contenus de World Rugby.

« En travaillant avec le Premiership Women’s Rugby, nous sommes parvenus à faire en sorte qu’un match phare de chacune des 21 journées soit accessible pour être regardé en direct sur RugbyPass TV. »

Objectif : 100 000 licenciées

C’est un peu la même démarche qu’a mené Canal + avec la FFR et la Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) pour retransmettre plusieurs rencontres de la saison du championnat féminin français.

Le premier match diffusé sera donc l’affiche ASM Romagnat / Stade Bordelais le samedi 2 novembre à 16h45 sur CANAL+SPORT et proposé dans la foulée du choc de Top 14 entre l’ASM Clermont Auvergne et l’Union Bordeaux-Bègles à 14h30. Une double affiche qui en amènera d’autres.

« Avec une hausse de 18 % des effectifs féminins sur la saison passée et à l’aube de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby Féminin 2025, un de nos enjeux majeurs était de rendre le rugby féminin encore plus visible, accessible et attractif en France et de le médiatiser », déclarait Florian Grill, président de la FFR.

« Cet accord avec la LNR et CANAL+ marque un tournant décisif pour l’exposition du championnat Elite 1 Féminine. En unissant nos forces, nous envoyons un signal fort à toutes les joueuses, aux supporters et au grand public : le rugby féminin est au cœur de notre projet et nous mettons le cap sur notre objectif de 100 000 licenciées ! »

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Trust, I once believed, formed the essential foundation of any partnership, particularly in business ventures and financial transactions. My naiveté, however, led me to trust too readily. I encountered an individual presenting herself as a crypto investment guru and strategist. We bonded over shared interests, including our lifestyles and a mutual appreciation for arts and antiques. I found myself believing every word she spoke regarding his purported success in crypto and how crypto would soon take over the world. I was intrigued, after all, a couple of thousand dollars won't break a spine. Initially, the experience seemed promising, but it soon devolved into a chaotic situation. I was repeatedly pressured to provide increasingly substantial sums of money as my supposed profits grew, and I sought to withdraw my funds. Within a mere three months, I had transferred $390,000 in Bitcoin from my wallet across five separate transactions. Subsequently, my wallet was compromised and faced imminent threat. It was at this critical juncture that I sought assistance from Meta Tech Recovery Pro. I presented my case to them, and after a thorough analysis, they revealed that I had been communicating with a single individual throughout the entire ordeal. Meta Tech Recovery Pro swiftly secured my wallet and, through their expertise, successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the scammer. In conclusion, I strongly advise exercising extreme caution when placing your trust in individuals you encounter online. I am eternally grateful to Meta Tech Recovery Pro for their invaluable assistance. They can be reached via:

Fiji and New Zealand set to face off as pools for SVNS Singapore revealed

I am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished.  he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money. Seeking assistance, I discovered RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS. They assessed my circumstances and confirmed my worst fear: I had become a victim of a pig-butchering romance scam. I was disheartened, as I genuinely believed I had found love again following a difficult divorce. Fortunately, RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS specializes in recovering Bitcoin sent to fraudulent or scam wallets. After collaborating with RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS, they successfully recovered my scammed Bitcoin. They are my permanent solution for cybersecurity. I strongly endorse RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS for crypto tracing and recovery.
