Il n’y aura qu’un club de Top 14 pour représenter la France lors des demi-finales de Challenge Cup. La Rochelle, qui a ouvert le bal des quarts de finale, n’a pas pu créer l’exploit avec son équipe rajeunie en Ulster (41-24).

Au contraire, Montpellier, qui joue la compétition à fond depuis le début, a aligné la grosse équipe pour la réception du Connacht et a franchi cet obstacle sans sourciller (45-22).

Le MHR, meilleure équipe de la phase de poules, sera encore largement favori pour sa demie à domicile contre les Dragons qui ont été chercher leur qualification à Parme chez les Zebre (32-35),

De son côté, l’Ulster recevra Exeter, qui également vainqueur de son quart à l’extérieur, sur le terrain de Trévise (41-44).

Les affiches des demi-finales de Challenge Cup

The All Blacks strongest midfield partnership for the next World Cup is already clear

“My observations …..” appear to be incongruent with the attack systems players you’re commenting on are playing within. Reiko playing under Leon Mac at the Blues is a very different attacker playing under Foster/Schmidt with their deliverables starkly different and yet were still hugely successful. At the Blues Telea, Clark, Perofeta and Lam all got black jerseys playing outside Reiko playing LMac’s width game. Clark and Telea regularly scored.

From 2020 > 2023 Foster/Schmidt’s gainline dominance attack (high skills under pressure at the gainline) had Reiko playing at/bending the line winning his collisions - quickly re-presenting the ball for ASmith to then choose which channel to attack - blind or open? This was not only prescribed for him but was bloody good strategy scoring 2-3 plays further on from out fatiguing a stressed and retreating defence. Watch how

Brendan Fanning: 'It was entirely credible an ambitious rugby player would choose Ireland over Australia for his career'

The reverse can happen, I suppose, and maybe Tom Lynagh is an example. But it is pretty rare. We do have some form though for taking players from Pacific Island countries? Some of them only come over as schoolboy age to both NZ and Australia - is the situation here that much different to Taniela Tupou? It is, at least, pretty close to the French teams taking 16 year old’s into their academies. I say that we just have to offer them a better proposition and hope they take it. So I am not sure we can throw too many stones from inside our glass house. Maybe teams like Argentina and Georgia can??

Disagree with premise JW but even if so, it’s the future I am interested in. In reality, Bok game thrives on set piece dominance - a lesson France and Ireland are still recovering from.

Breakdown panel questions eligibility rule for returning All Blacks

“For me, this is about we’ve signed them for one reason, and that’s to improve the performance of the All Blacks,” former All Black Jeff Wilson said.

“Now, how they do that and when they do that should be as soon as possible, and playing an arbitrary 40 minutes of NPC rugby does not help you get ready to play for the All Blacks.

The five performers of the week from Super Rugby Pacific round nine

My mistake, I was sure the Reds were sitting in the top 5 when the Canes played them, i just fact checked myself and they were actually in 5th place not 3rd or 4th as I said, but still in the top 5, they slipped to 6th as a result of this game.

Again agree both top quality players and Sella especially is an icon of the game. But I don’t agree that “transforming” the game is a singularly useful criterion for best. For example, SBW was brilliant but also flawed. His Lion’s brain explosion exemplifying this. In contrast Smith may not be “transformational” in the same way but was first choice in the best team there ever was because he was simply the best for the team.

Both, frantic and disjointed, but at times clinical and special, if you want to read in that grammar.

Roigard was pretty shoddy most of the night I thought, Love was class though indeed (though maybe not enough volume as these other selections).

A more penetrating 12 is all they really need to be complete. Rova has been interesting in that role at times. Wonder how Higgins will go though. Surely Sullivan isn’t playing well enough to push out Proctor?

You know you’re being cheeky taking that comment out of context right?

Reds weren’t in the top 5, and of those 5 they had played none of them. The more relevant thing for you to have said (assuming you didn’t just make a mistake) is that the Canes hadn’t played a top 5 side, so poor journalism to write it like they hadn’t beaton one.

Defence Wins Championships - Cory Jane on Hurricanes 2016 title triumph

Yes, dark year when a lot of storied veterans departed.

But the Hammett years are where the Hurricanes culture changed, laying the foundation for the current Hurricanes which seem to do the basics well but still have some of the classic Hurricanes spark.

Sam Darry's honest reflection after Hurricanes reality check

They’ve none of their top loose trio, and just two of their tight five on the weekend.

Segner has been used at 6 in a consistent role though, and is better at 7, so while not at Daltz level you could argue they got more out of that switch. But even though he has been used at 6, when it comes to the crunch and a fit squad, you could easily see the Blues selecting Beehre, Christie, Barnes in a big game like this too.

'I find that fairly disrespectful': Clark Laidlaw hits back at 'soft draw' claims

The order in which you face certain teams and whether you face them at home or abroad has very little provable impact on the outcome of your season. You still have to get the results.

That’s not whats being discussed here though is it (bit of a question as I didn’t read the article), were talking about their relative form, which greatly dictates the outcome of your final position once you’ve played the hard teams.

I tried to emphasise ‘transformed’ his position to legitimise SBW’s ‘greatness’.

I’m about to show my age but the only other two 13’s that can wear that mantle for transformed the 13 position in their era were Phillipe Sella and Danie Gerber.

Dunno if that was how I’d discribe their backline play on the weekend, seemed a lot more flustered. The Blues of course haven’t been great themselves.

Hoskins Sotutu: 'I felt like I needed to have a look at other paths'

Yeah you have to feel the whole Blues trio were heavily mismanaged by Foster and to some extend the Blues also need to be blamed.

Those three guys, if not good enough to be starters, should all have had more than the bit part roles in ABs. But there was obviously some issue there that I’m not sure we will ever know of now (I mean it could even have just been a perception issue, but I’d imagine it really runs deeper).
