La fédération américaine de rugby a nommé Simon Amor comme successeur de Mike Friday à la tête de l’équipe nationale masculine de rugby à sept.

À 52 ans, Mike Friday avait décidé de quitter son poste après que l’équipe ait terminé à la huitième place aux Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, et suite à une saison difficile où les États-Unis n’ont pas réussi à se qualifier pour la Grande Finale de Madrid, terminant à la neuvième position.

Le départ de Friday, après dix ans de direction, a pris tout le monde par surprise, ce qui a poussé USA Rugby à prendre une décision importante pour l’avenir de l’équipe.

Simon Amor, âgé de 45 ans et ancien Joueur de Rugby à Sept de l’Année 2004, a été choisi pour son ambition de redonner aux États-Unis une place de choix dans le rugby à sept. Ayant participé à deux éditions des Jeux du Commonwealth et ayant évolué en Premiership, Amor a débuté sa carrière d’entraîneur en 2008 avec le London Scottish et l’équipe féminine d’Angleterre à sept, avant de prendre les rênes de l’équipe masculine d’Angleterre à sept en 2013.

Au cours de son mandat de sept ans, il a conduit ses équipes à des podiums aux Jeux du Commonwealth et à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby à Sept, tout en entraînant l’équipe masculine de Grande-Bretagne en vue de décrocher une médaille d’argent aux Jeux olympiques de Rio en 2016. Il a également dirigé les programmes de rugby à sept de Hongkong et du Japon, enrichissant ainsi son expérience dans le développement des joueurs.

« Je suis très honoré de diriger le programme de rugby à sept des Eagles masculins et de m’appuyer sur le travail de Mike Friday et Phil Greening », a déclaré Amor dans le communiqué de USA Rugby.

Il a souligné l’importance des futurs événements comme les Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles en 2028 et les Coupes du Monde de Rugby Féminin et Masculin, respectivement en 2029 et 2031. Amor sera basé à Chula Vista, Californie, une fois sa situation administrative régularisée. L’équipe pourra alors commencer sa préparation pour les World Rugby Sevens Series qui reprendront en novembre.

Tamara Sheppard, directrice générale de la haute performance de l’USA Rugby, a souligné que la compétence d’Amor dans le développement des joueurs et son succès olympique en faisaient le candidat idéal pour le programme.

Sur ce point, Simon Amor a d’ailleurs ajouté : « Inspirés par l’équipe Women’s Eagles Sevens à Paris, notre objectif est de remporter une médaille aux Jeux de Los Angeles 2028. Nous visons d’abord le top 8 dans une HSBC World SVNS Series très compétitive cette année.

« À l’approche de Dubaï et avec le départ de quelques grands joueurs, nous sommes conscients du défi. Cependant, nous avons un potentiel énorme et notre première année sera axée sur l’apprentissage et l’engagement à 100 %, établissant ainsi les bases de notre parcours vers LA2028. »

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.

'We had a good plan, we saw the opportunity to beat the Sharks': Leo Cullen

I think Leinster had a plan to win both matches.

The defensive pressure was impressive and it made things hard for sharks with the greasy ball. That’s not an academy team though, a lot of those guys have two SA tours under their belt and a load of Leinster caps. There were a few new caps but so few as to not effect the system. Gunne was a first start but he has had a good few appearances and is a talent in play and attitide.


Sharks reaction to some early errors seemed to shout “Here we go again”.

As good as Leinster played and as hard as they made it, I assumed that Sharks would have the quality to find a way. Leinster slowed the rucks just enough to cause Sharks some issues and overruns etc.

The great Eben Etzebeth was missing and he is clearly great in motivating and driving a team as well as in play. Some thing more than Etzebeth missing. The Leinster players not playing today will be cheering and sucking energy from that performance as much as if they were there. That’s the spirit in the club. Anyone can see how bonded and loyal Snyman, Barrett and Slimani are in a small period of time. I think Leinster have a special setup up there, but Sharks are definately below average in belief, confidence and spirit based on Saturday.

Obviously a straight forward kick for a draw was available at the end but I don’t think that would have been acceptable and Sharks must go for the win at home.


Note: Zebo said in coverage that if Erasmus has the reigns with Sharks they would be no1 in URC and Champions Cup ‘By a distance’. I don’t agree with that ofcourse but in between sucking up to Erasmus he is clearly pinpointing what he believes is a coaching issue.
