Après 20 minutes, l'Uruguay n'a pu retenir les Blacks
La Nouvelle-Zélande s’est qualifiée pour les quarts de finale de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 grâce à Damian McKenzie, qui a inspiré les triples champions du monde en remportant une confortable victoire de 73-0 avec le point de bonus face à l’Uruguay, jeudi 5 octobre à l’OL Stadium de Lyon.

Pour le troisième match consécutif, les All Blacks ont mis plus de 50 points à leurs adversaires, avec McKenzie – titularisé à l’arrière pour la première fois depuis 2021 – au cœur d’à peu près tout, ce qui lui a valu le titre de Homme du Match.
L’Uruguay a bien fait travailler les All Blacks, notamment lors d’un premier quart-temps endiablé au cours duquel, bizarrement, trois essais en 16 minutes – deux pour la Nouvelle-Zélande et un pour l’Uruguay – ont été annulés après examen vidéo.
Mais une fois que McKenzie est entré en jeu à la suite d’une mêlée sur la ligne des cinq mètres, la Nouvelle-Zélande s’est montrée irrésistible. Richie Mo’unga en a rapidement ajouté un deuxième, profitant d’un en-avant grossier de Felipe Etcheverry juste devant sa ligne, sur une passe de Rodrigo Silva (14-0, 24e).
Le demi de mêlée Cam Roigard a assuré le point de bonus juste avant la mi-temps.
La deuxième mi-temps ressemblait à un cavalier seul des All Blacks, l’Uruguay payant cash la débauche d’énergie de la première période et, plus globalement, l’investissement engagé depuis un mois par ces semi amateurs.
Leicester Fainga’Anuku y allait de son triplé (45e, 68e, 77e), l’autre ailier Jordan (65e) et McKenzie (53e) de leur doublé chacun. Même le pilier remplaçant Tanaiti Williams participait à la fête (73e).

L’addition finale était sévère pour des Uruguayens exemplaires d’un bout à l’autre de cette Coupe du Monde, tandis que la Nouvelle-Zélande a confirmé, après la démonstration face à l’Italie (96-17), qu’il faudrait bel et bien compter sur elle pour le titre suprême.

What a sad way to end a glittering career. Somebody should tell him to delete his social media accounts and face the consequences of what he's done. Then he should slip away quietly into obscurity. This isn't likely to happen, something tells me he'll be back in The Sun / Daily Mail sooner rather than later.

6 Go to commentsCan someone fill me in please, I've read a number of Ben Smith articles now and it seems he's got something again South Africa? Surely, this game was over and done with 7 months ago. Can't we have something a bit more interesting and relevant, or is this the calibre of journalist on this site?

Guys like Josh Hathaway and Kane James will play for Wales in the end. And they’ll be fsr better players for having played in the Gallagher Premiership, than they ever would have been had they stayed mired in the shambles that is Welsh rugby.
3 Go to commentsThis is all being blown totally out of proportion. First of all, since half the Irish team isn’t Irish - it’s very likely that none of the Irish players said that at all and, thus, we’re not being arrogant. Second, since half the Irish team is Kiwi - it’s very likely the Kiwi players were predicting a NZ SA World Cup final. Which they got spot on. Good on them!
163 Go to commentsAha. An Irishman with logic! Follow the flow: - Ireland peaks with a >80% win record between 2020 and 2023. And then… - crashes out of another QF at the WC; - Beat a poor French Team; - Beat 6N wooden spoonists Italy; - Play shite against eventual wooden spoonists Wales; - Lose against the most boring, “the worst English team ever” , a team widely regarded as unable to attack; - scrape through against Scotland. This article, No - Trimble, is on the money! Except for one glaring statement: _The Springboks have a few aces in the hole in this debate being the reigning world champions and official world number ones_ There is no debate, boys and girls. There it is. In black and white. “Reigning World Champions and OFFICIAL world number ones”. Come July, the overrated Andy Farrell and this overhyped team are going to enter into a world of hurt.

30 Go to commentsNot sure the Bulls need another average utility back in their ranks. Chamberlain has been ok for the Sharks but is by no means an X-Factor player. Bulls bought several utility backs which they barely use. A typical example would be Henry Immelman who plays mostly Fullback. The Bulls however have rarely played him this year and he has played wing or centre. Bulls want to build depth but seems like they have too many surplus players
1 Go to commentsABs lost against a side playing without a hooker - The guy playing, had one shoulder. Line outs were a gimme for the ABs, and the last 8 minutes 14 played 14 against a team that had been smashed 3 weeks in a row… Yet with all that possession, with all that territory, with all the advantages they actually had, especially in the last 8 minutes, they couldn’t buy a point. Those last 8 minutes determined if they outplayed the Boks or not. History will show that the Boks completely outplayed the ABs, especially in those last 8 minutes, the business end of any rugby match

1 Go to commentsI am really looking forward to Leigh Halfpenny playing his first Super rugby game for the Crusaders Playing a long side his former Welsh and Scarlets team mate Johnny McNicoll.Johnny has been playing great, back in a Crusaders jersey.The attack has strengthened big time. Also looking forward to David Havili at 10. David is a class act, it also allows Dallas McLeod to remain at 12. A good thing.
