A l’heure d’aborder le 3e match du Tournoi des Six Nations 2024 et après une semaine de repos, l’équipe de France est revenue au turbin depuis le début de semaine pour préparer la réception de l’Italie (dimanche 13h30).

La paire de sélectionneurs Mignot – Ortiz a reconduit en grande partie les titulaires vainqueurs en Écosse lors de la 2e journée (15-5). Les deux techniciens ont procédé à trois retouches dans le XV de départ. Deux en 3e ligne, où seule la N.8 Romane Ménager conserve sa place. Elle sera entourée de Charlotte Escudero (titulaire lors du premier match) et de Émeline Gros, entrée en jeu lors des deux premières levées et auteur d’un essai capital à Edimbourg.

Le troisième changement concerne l’aile gauche. Mélissande Llorens remplace numériquement Kelly Arbey, Marine Ménager glissant de l’aile gauche à l’aile droite.

L’ouvreuse Lina Queyroi, un temps incertaine est bien là, tout comme la petite sœur de la capitaine Manae Teleu, Teani, qui pourrait fêter sa première cape dimanche en entrant en 3e ligne.

XV de départ

Boulard – M. Ménager, Kondé, Verdier, Llorens – (o) Queyroi, (m) Bourdon-Sansus – R. Ménager, Gros, Escudéro – Fall, M. Feleu (cap.) – Khalfaoui, Sochat, Deshaye.

Remplaçantes

Riffoneau, Mwayembe, Joyeux, Hermet, T. Feleu, Chambon, Tuy.

How can Scott Robertson revive the All Blacks’ playmaking ‘triple threat’?

Who are the best Full backs in the world right now? Ramos and Keenan appear a step above and the leaders in class, Le Roux is old but still a class act. All of these players are outstanding in their own right and all of them can do multiple things very well. They peel off territory with outstanding kicking in both attacking and defensive zones. They are all excellent under the high ball. They are all playmakers who step into the line at times at first receiver or in midfield and distribute perfectly to the edge. They can all function as strike runners or link players bringing others into the game. They are also all good as last line defenders. Now look at Jordan. A class act in his own way, an epic strike and broken-field runner. He is able to burst into space with intent, pace and power. He is an elite finisher and a really good one on one defender who is a solid last line of defence. He chips into space really well and regathers very nicely. He is however not a creative link and creates primarily for himself. He sees opportunities which he can exploit individually and rarely brings others into the game. He is not a big picture player. He is decent under the high ball but by no means outstanding. He is unable to control the pace of the game all that well, he doesn't always make the best decisions especially in his third as he is so zoned in on attack and does not control territory well. His boot is not as prodigious or educated as the aforementioned 15's. Jordan is a complete winger but he is nowhere near as complete a full back. He limits Robertsons options in terms of playmaking ability and that means more responsibility for the 10. There is a general acceptance of this and as long as Jordan is at 15 the 10 will have to shoulder the playmaking responsibility with Jordan sniffing out opportunities from the back. Jordie needs to give support in this regard and Robertson needs to give him more freedom to create. With Jordan at 15 does he really need Ioane at 13? Perhaps the AB's are focusing too much on strike runners and not enough attention on playmaking.
