Y aura-t-il plus de pays francophones qu’à l’accoutumée à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 en Australie ? Car à part la France – qui a participé à toutes les éditions – et le Canada – qui n’a manqué que l’édition 2023 en France – aucun autre pays se revendique fièrement de la langue française dans le tournoi mondial.

Or, avec l’exploit qu’a réalisé la Belgique (26e nationale mondiale avant le coup d’envoi) ce samedi 15 mars à Amsterdam, dans une rencontre arbitrée par Jérémy Rozier, les Belges se prennent à rêver d’une première participation historique à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027.

La Belgique a en effet franchi une étape historique en validant son billet pour le Tournoi de Qualification Final de la Coupe du monde 2027 qui aura lieu en novembre 2025. Les Diables Noirs ont dominé les Pays-Bas (31-10) au National Rugby Center à Amsterdam, lors du match pour la cinquième place du Rugby Europe Championship. Ce succès leur offre une dernière chance d’accéder à leur première Coupe du monde, en passant par le tournoi de repêchage qui se jouera en novembre à Dubaï.

Avec les Vannetais Jean-Maurice Decubber et Charlesty Berguet, les Belges ont pris un départ impressionnant, menant 24-5 après une première période parfaitement maîtrisée. Simeon Soenen, Maximilien Hendrickx et Jens Torfs ont chacun inscrit un essai, tous transformés par Hugo de Francq. Les Pays-Bas (24e nation mondiale) ont réduit l’écart juste avant la pause avec un essai non transformé, mais la dynamique restait largement en faveur des hommes du sélectionneur Laurent Dossat.

Dès le début de la seconde période, Florian Remue a creusé l’écart avec un quatrième essai belge, portant l’avance à 26 points. Les Néerlandais ont bien marqué en fin de match, mais sans jamais inquiéter une Belgique bien en place.

Grâce à cette victoire, la Belgique termine cinquième du Rugby Europe Championship, son meilleur classement dans la compétition. Une progression marquante pour une équipe qui avait fini septième l’an dernier.

Désormais, les Diables Noirs se tourneront vers le Tournoi de Qualification Final, où ils affronteront trois autres équipes : le troisième du Championnat d’Amérique du Sud, le perdant du barrage Amérique du Sud/Pacifique et le vainqueur du barrage Afrique/Asie. Seul le vainqueur de ce tournoi à quatre obtiendra son ticket pour l’Australie en 2027.

La Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027, qui se tiendra du 1er octobre au 13 novembre en Australie, réunira 24 équipes pour la première fois de son histoire. Le top 12 de l’édition 2023 ainsi que la Géorgie, l’Espagne, le Portugal et la Roumanie ont déjà leur place assurée.

La Belgique tentera d’y rejoindre ces nations en réalisant un exploit à Dubaï, où l’enjeu sera immense pour le rugby belge.

Late Makazole Mapimpi try earns the Sharks win away to Edinburgh

Jake White described this as the strongest Sharks lineup ever. There is no doubt that it is at least an impressive roster. They did win, which is obviously an achievement against a good Edinburgh side. However …


For much of the first half Edinburgh seemed easily able to create 2 on 1 opportunities on both wings, with the defensive wingers biting in on the inside runner and cover defence being AWOL. Conversely the Sharks showed little ability to get behind the Edinburgh defensive line, with the sole exception of a nicely-exploited Am mismatch against a second row (which led to the Fassi try).


In general the Sharks, with their full complement of Bok firepower, do not look that dangerous in attack, and while tackling was good on the whole and goal line defence was impressive at times, they were exhibiting surprising breakdowns in open play defensive structures.


Also, the Sharks continue to be inaccurate, with material impact on the scoreboard. Missing two very kickable penalties is not the way to be the best. It looked to me like the Sharks contestable kicks were not well enough executed, and were too hard to recover.


Not sure what the running attack was trying to do, but my guess is that they were trying to pull off a Harlequins-style bash-and-offload game off of 12 (Esterhuizen). That’s not a terrible idea with the personnel available, but it would require creativity and a precision on second phase that was not in evidence.


Lastly, you have to have better discipline. It’s great that the team can cope with a 13 vs 14 period (of almost 10 minutes), but smart teams a avoid cards.


Having said that it was great to see the win. I thought that Edinburgh were cynical and niggly. Always hanging around on the wrong side of the breakdown, lots of intentional obstruction, illegal dummying at the base of the ruck, etc. They played a dirty game and the ref tolerated it. Always good to see that not succeed.


Overall the “best Sharks lineup ever” scraped the win, but under-performed their Bok-laden potential. Again.

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
