Les Eagles masculins américains ont gagné 1,70 points pour augmenter leur score à 67,94 points, ce qui leur permet de dépasser l’Uruguay à la 17e place.
L’Espagne a perdu le même nombre de points en échange et son nouveau classement de 62,86 points la fait passer derrière la Roumanie et à la 20e position.
Le Canada se rapproche du Top 20
Dans le match pour la troisième place de La Vila International Rugby Cup, le Canada a mis fin à sa récente série de défaites en s’imposant 40-15 face au Brésil.
En conséquence, l’équipe de Kingsley Jones a gagné deux places pour atteindre le 21e rang, mais elle est toujours à près de deux points du top 20.
Le Brésil, quant à lui, perd deux places en s’inclinant et tombe à la 28e place. La Suisse et les Pays-Bas, qui n’étaient pas en lice, sont les deux équipes qui en profitent.
Le seul autre match se déroulant en Europe ce week-end avait lieu dans le cadre du Rugby Europe Trophy 2023-24, et s’est soldé par une victoire 22-20 de la Suède sur le terrain de la Croatie.
Hongkong China large vainqueur de l’Allemagne
La Suède a remporté deux de ses trois premiers matchs et est désormais à égalité avec la Suisse en tête du classement avec huit points, mais avec une moins bonne différence de points.
Grâce à cette victoire, la Suède a franchi la barre des 50 points, mais elle reste à la 36e place, tandis que la Croatie perd quatre places et se retrouve à la 41e.

Plus loin, Hongkong China a conclu de manière convaincante une série de 2-0 contre l’Allemagne en s’imposant 46-10 samedi. Cette victoire fait suite à celle de 29-16 obtenue plus tôt dans la semaine.
L’ailier gauche Seb O’Brien a inscrit trois essais pour permettre à Hongkong China de réaliser un score record lors de la cinquième rencontre entre les deux équipes.
Le résultat n’a pas eu d’incidence sur le classement, Hongkong China restant huit places devant l’Allemagne (24e).

Crazy he’s only 28, feel like he’s been around forever - don’t mind the move, safe pair of hands and creates depth in a thin position for ABs. Hopefully aides Kemara’s growth also without thrusting too much responsibility on him

2 Go to commentsSo many excuses. No mention of the SA number 2 being taken out illegally in the 2nd minute. That act of foul play had a massive impact on the SA game. Face it, NZ play pretty dirty very regularly, and it’s only since 2016 they’ve been held to higher officiating standards via stricter officiating and TMO reviews. They deserved to have a man down. Sorry. Fix the yellow and red cards and NZ will win more RWCs. Plus, there WAS a knock on invalidating the one try, so it was NOT a try. Period. Here’s a Kleenex…
212 Go to commentsOverheard conversation between NZ and SA rugby fans everywhere: We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! We’re the greatest! No we’re the greatest! Ireland are arrogant! True but they beat you! We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! Etc. etc, etc.

11 Go to comments“If they’d have beaten England, I still feel we would have been talking ‘is this the best team ever,’ ‘is this the best team that’s ever played in the Six Nations'” he said. “I still think they’re not quite that good. I actually don’t think they’re that good.” So Trimble is saying he doesn’t think this is the best 6N team of all time. He is silent on if it is the best Irish team of all time. Can’t disagree with him. Just another misrepresentative clickbait headline from the guys at RP.
23 Go to commentsWow, do we really still have to listen to all the excuses and “unfairness” of it all. Even blaming the bounce of an egg shaped ball for the loss. But the article is about context, so what about the Springboks having to play the other 5 teams in the top 6 and still beating a comparatively rested AB team on a very empty tank.
212 Go to comments“Teams would generally have three coaches below their head honcho; attack coach, defence coach, forwards coach” do they? I’m not sure what the NZ set up is tbh, but the other 4 sides top 5 sides all have very different structures to the one outlined in the article! As well as attack, defence, and forwards coaches, SA, Ireland, and France also have specialist scrum coaches. England have a specialist scrum coach too, but arguably don’t have a forwards coach, with that role taken on by Borthwick. SA also have a backs coach in addition to defence and attack, and Ireland and England have fitness coaches, with England also having two skills coaches.
2 Go to commentsWorst article I've read in a while. Trying to disguise a backhand slap as a compliment. The whole article is a bit weird and negative. I think South African men are emotional in general… think Clad le Clos’s father 2012 London Olympics.

23 Go to commentsIt was the strangest result ever. Etzebeth should've been yellow card for his cynical retiring move and a penalty try. Birth second half tries by the Allblacks were fantastic and the TMO operating outside the law to rule out the first try was egregious. Yes, the boks got the win but it was through some bizarre officiating that allowed them to sneak home against 14 men that dominated them. The quieter Bok supporters know and acknowledge the Allblacks were the better and dominant side. Justifying the win because they beat a pre world cup Allblacks selection is silly.

4 Go to commentsIt sounds like Andrew is trying to convince himself or has just lost all perspective. The team did look jaded for the last couple of games of the six nations but a few things were wrong there. Italy tackled their hearts out and made Ireland work hard for every try. Outsmarted by Scotland? Huh? Ireland got held up over the line about 4 times. Scotland did nothing on attack the whole game other than one breakaway near the end. A recharge and reset is needed which they hopefully will have had before the SA your.
23 Go to commentsIncluding SA and Argie teams was great for the quality of rugby, but middle of the night games and player travel/ jet lag make that unworkable. I think that SA in Europe and Argie building an American league with USA, Canada etc would be better long term. If Oz can't sustain Rebels then next cab off the rank should be a Japanese team. Keep regional comps to time zones, both club and test rugby. Then existing test windows for test tours plus RWC.
