Pas encore résolu à perdre Tevita Tatafu, le tout nouveau international tricolore qui était annoncé à Bordeaux-Bègles, l’Aviron Bayonnais va voir un autre de ses jeunes joueurs prometteurs prendre le chemin de la Gironde à la fin de la saison.

Selon les informations France Bleu Pays basque, le trois-quarts polyvalent Xan Mousques aurait trouvé un accord avec l’UBB et rejoindra le club managé par Yannick Bru en juillet prochain, à l’expiration de son contrat bayonnais.

Apparu en Top 14 au mois de septembre de cette année, Mousques (19 ans, 1,78 m,  89 kg) a eu peu de temps de jeu jusqu’à présent : trois matchs disputés et autant de titularisations. Suffisant toutefois pour montrer ses qualités puisqu’il a inscrit trois essais cette saison.

Pisté par plusieurs clubs du Top 14, dont La Rochelle et Toulouse, Mousques a opté pour l’UBB, comme l’a confirmé le manager de Bayonne Grégory Patat : « Il part à Bègles. Ça, c’est clair », a-t-il lâché en conférence de presse ce jeudi.

One theme dominates reaction to England chariot grinding to halt

Where do you start with England? It felt like two steps backward. This happened under Lancaster where the forwards got above themselves in thinking they didn't need to do the grunt work up front because they were in the backs instead of securing quick ruck ball. Last week I questioned whether my opinion of George Ford at 19 was wrong. This week I know I was right. Just like Prendegast and unlike Finn Russell he offers no running threat and only looks good when the forwards are on the front foot. Why was Cowan Dickie on in place George? You know the first 20 mins are going to be chaotically critical and yet Borthwick chose a hooker who is liable to do stupid things as it so proved with a no arms tackle deep in the Scotland half turning an English scrum into a Scottish penalty which a few minutes later turned into a Scottish try. Enough has been said about Arundel. Several players were absent during the game.

What I Havnt seen is criticism of the English coaches. It was obvious what the English game plan was going to be and Scotland practiced for it. I cannot imagine for one moment Rassie employing exactly the same tactics two matches in a row expecting to get the same result. Maybe Borthwick read too much into the Wales game and too little into Scotland game against Italy. Freeman at centre is a bust. He needs to go back to the wing. Fin Smith at 10 with Marcus Smith as back up and to cover 15 where Furbank would come in. Whilst Steward is able enough without the protection of runners his ariel prowess is less impressive he lacks real pace when joining the line.
