Alors que les World Rugby HSBC Sevens Challenger Series se dirigent vers leur dernière étape à Munich ce week-end, le classement masculin montre une course très disputée pour les quatre premières places.

Les Series offrent une voie d’accès au HSBC SVNS 2025, les quatre premières équipes du classement devant s’assurer une place pour le barrage de promotion et de relégation lors de la Grande Finale du SVNS à Madrid du 31 mai au 2 juin.

L’équipe de l’Uruguay est en tête du classement avec 36 points et une différence de points de 109. Le Kenya – également avec 36 points mais une différence de points de 83 – suit de près à la deuxième place.

Le Kenya est en quelque sorte un géant endormi, ayant déjà participé au circuit HSBC SVNS proprement dit. Ils ont remporté le Singapour Sevens en 2016 et seront prêts à tout pour revenir dans l’élite du rugby à sept. Ils ont remporté les Challenger Series à Dubaï en début d’année après avoir battu le Chili 12-5 dans une finale serrée.

Les deux équipes sont très favorites pour se qualifier pour les éliminatoires de Madrid.

L’Allemagne jouera sa chance

Le Chili occupe la troisième place avec 32 points et une différence de 78 points. Sa position est solide, mais il est loin d’être inattaquable.

L’Allemagne, pays hôte, et Hongkong China sont à égalité avec 26 points chacune. L’Allemagne – avec une différence de points supérieure de 106 – occupe la quatrième place. Elle devance de peu Hongkong China, qui occupe la cinquième place. Hongkong China a une différence de points de 96, à seulement 10 points des hôtes de ce week-end.

« Se donner une chance, en particulier après une étape médiocre à Dubaï, est inestimable », estime l’entraîneur de Hongkong Jevon Groves, ancien international gallois de rugby à sept, qui a participé aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 2010 et 2014.

« J’ai trouvé que les garçons ont vraiment fait de belles choses en Uruguay pour arriver en finale et nous mettre en position pour faire partie des quatre premiers.

« Maintenant, nous devons aller en Allemagne et faire aussi bien, ce qui sera difficile parce que les trois premiers semblent être installés ou à peu près, que l’Allemagne accueille le tournoi et que les hôtes font généralement de bons résultats. »

Le bas du tableau

Les Tonga sont au coude-à-coude dans la lutte pour le maintien à Madrid.

Les Tonga comptent 18 points et une différence de points de -13, ce qui les place à la sixième place. Leurs chances d’entrer dans le top 4 sont minces mais pas impossibles, même si elles dépendent d’autres résultats à Munich.

Le Japon suit avec 15 points et une différence de 32 points.

L’Ouganda a 14 points et une différence de 63 points. Ces deux équipes ne sont pas des prétendantes au titre et devront obtenir des résultats exceptionnels pour se hisser parmi les quatre premières.

Plus bas dans le classement, la Géorgie a accumulé 10 points avec une différence de points de -76. Le Portugal a 9 points et une différence de -54. Les deux équipes ont connu des campagnes difficiles et sont presque certainement hors course.

La Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et le Mexique complètent le classement avec respectivement 4 et 2 points. La Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée a une différence de points de -58, et le Mexique de -366.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.

France deny England and clinch Six Nations title in Paris

I think we need to call out the red card non-decision here and acknowledge the damage that France, through Galthie, have done to confidence in the officaiting and citing process.

It started when Garry Ringrose had club matches included in his ban following similar precedents for (Atonio, Haouas, Danty) who were all carded/cited in match just before fallow week and club matches counted. Ntamacks citing was in week 1 and harder to demonstrate availability for club match with another International match between. Preceednt ~(O’Mahony 2021) was followed. Reading the written decision for Ntamack shows that Galthie understood this perfectly. Yet after the Ringrose ban included club matches, Galthie publicly goes berserk screaming ‘Injustice (against France”. Again, he knows the precedents for Ringrose are all French and indeed the only person preceding Ntamack to have club matches count in that situation was France’s Willemse.

The media swallowed this up wholesale and the story started circulating and being added to without a single journalist/pundit (except rush Mirror) actually reading the Ntamack decision. Sneaky Ireland had better briefs than honest naive France was one random addition by a pundit which becamse accpeted fact without checking etc and added to the circulation.

Angered by losing his star player Galthie again lashes out. He knows know he can de facto attack individual players, the media won’t intervene and as long as he doesnt directly attack an individual official he will stay out of trouble.

So he attacks players who then het threatened by some lunatic French supporters online. Ireland are ‘Butchers’ apparently. The passive head contact earning Nash a yellow now becomes a double head hit on Barrassi, requiring a double red.

France who have more dangerous tackle citings under Galthie than all other six nations combined. They get more favourable outcomes than all other teams. poor France are now the victims of great injustice. It is farce.

But it paid off.

Mauvaka struck the Scottish Scrum half with a diving head butt in Sundays match. Its a clear red. Scotlands back line attack looked superiors to France’s and Scotland were there or there abouts.

What I can only assume is the chilling affect on Galthie’s public attacks Carley send it to the bunker. A deliberate head butt is a clear red on more than one count. There is no doubt, bo grey area.

If thats a red card do France win the match? I would say that Scotland are likely winners, which would have meant England winning the title.

Spilled milk now, but World Rugby, the citing commisioners and officials cannot allow big Unions to publicly intimidate the officiating process and attack individual players from other teams.
