Après une expérience menée sur Twitch en 2023, la Major League Rugby américaine va être de nouveau diffusée gratuitement en France.

La chaîne Sport en France a en effet annoncé un partenariat exclusif avec le championnat américain pour devenir le diffuseur officiel de la ligue nord-américaine en France pour un an, avec possibilité de renouvellement dans les mêmes conditions. Ce nouvel accord marque une étape importante pour les amateurs de rugby hexagonal, qui pourront suivre, dès cette saison, l’essor du rugby à XV aux États-Unis grâce à une couverture complète et régulière de la MLR.

Avec ce partenariat, Sport en France renforce son offre rugby en s’appuyant sur une programmation déjà riche, incluant plusieurs magazines consacrés aux équipes de France comme « Destins Mêlés », « Horizons Bleus » ou encore « Âmes Sœurs » réalisés et produits par la Fédération Française de Rugby.

Retrouver tous les résultats, calendriers, stats et classements de la MLR sur Rugbypass.com

La diffusion concernera au minimum 10 rencontres phares de la saison régulière ainsi que l’intégralité des phases finales, retransmises chaque lundi soir à partir de 21h.

La MLR, qui s’étend sur 11 franchises et accueille plus de 500 joueurs – dont de nombreux internationaux –, propose un championnat intense de mi-février à début juin. Les fans pourront suivre des Français comme Xavier Mignot, Kélian Galletier ou encore Mikaea Wynyard dans leurs nouvelles aventures américaines.

À six ans de la Coupe du Monde aux États-Unis, cette ligue en pleine croissance constitue une porte d’entrée idéale pour découvrir un rugby à la fois spectaculaire, innovant et en pleine mutation.

« La MLR, à l’instar de la MLS et de la NBA, a de nombreux atouts à faire valoir et va nous permettre de proposer du beau jeu et un feuilleton haletant toute la saison jusqu’à cet été », indique Romain Schindler, directeur de Sport en France. « Nous sommes convaincus que ces opportunités de diffusion de ces ligues étrangères restent de bonnes occasions de promouvoir un sport gratuit et accessible à tous. »

« La popularité mondiale du rugby est indéniable, et ce nouveau partenariat avec Sport en France permet à la Major League Rugby de faire découvrir notre version du jeu à un public international plus large », confirme Lucas Reid, directeur des revenus de la MLR. « Notre ligue s’est imposée comme l’organisation de rugby de premier plan en Amérique du Nord, cherchant à développer ce sport en vue d’accueillir plusieurs événements sportifs majeurs aux États-Unis, notamment les Jeux olympiques en 2028 et la Coupe du monde de rugby en 2031. Ce nouveau partenariat de diffusion permettra aux fans français de la MLR de suivre du rugby compétitif de haut niveau, alors que nous contribuons à poser les bases pour l’avenir de ce sport aux États-Unis. »

Un championnat qui a du potentiel. Le niveau des équipes est encore hétérogène et une vrai politique de formation doit être mise en place.

Teenager Braxton Sorensen-McGee reflects on dream Black Ferns debut

Although NZ won comfortably enough they weren’t always convincing and a better opposition may well have found them out. If our gun 7s players can translate their skills to the 15s game the team would have the ability to beat anyone. Need to be given the chance though.

Also interested in your thoughts on A Bell. Haven't noticed many scrum issues recently. He also seems to play 60 or so mins every game. A bit of a fan (even though he’s a tah..) but wondered if the Lions would target his scrummaging

True. And you look at how the European coaches have got so much out of skelton and how much the local fans love him…and then some Oz fans will still say “he played poorly for the tahs I'm 2015!”

Thanks Nick but your headline has just jinxed us and reminded me of that night in 2013!

I love any analysis of the scrums such as the above. Cheers.

Allalatoa seems to be in good form and Nongorr appears to be able to hold his own? I think they will pick Tupou regardless of form. After Friday night I am concerned he could be sent off in the first five mins of the test though! He got too pumped up and hit a player high and was carded

'Most complacent selection decision you will ever see': Barrett benching slammed as Leinster knocked out

I watched the mainstream NZ pundits eg Mils Muliaina and they DID back NZ to win almost to a man.

Ireland will talk their team up as anyone would with the caveats we are playing the ABs and match was de facto 50:50, That is not the same as dismissing the opposition. EG After the quarter John Kirwan said he was sorry France didn’t win versus SA becuase a ‘France-NZ final would be perfect. (The semis had not even been played yet, England and Argentina completely dismissed! He didn’t even realize his own arrogance) NZ are not even aware of the arrogance they exude. Has no Kiwi politely asked the national team to take down the ‘Superstars and Humble Heroes’ boasting on the AB site? Its cringeworthy stuff. Do NZ really see themselves like this?

Note all this BS about Irish arrogance started just after NZs defeat in the 2022 series. Not a coincidence.

Also: this is Irish national TV. We will talk our team up as everyone does. We care too much about judgemental and thin skinned Kiwis getting offended.

Aussie rugby fans are obsessed with players they hate, for whatever reason.

Michael Hooper is another one, and the hatred only increased whenever he won John Eales medals or the two times he was nominated world player of the year.

I reckon it is because our forwards are technically and mentally weak they put it all on one player who they think should make way for the messiah.

Same for the general team performance and the hate put on players like White, Lolesio, and Foley who should be pulling rabbits out of the hat every play.

I reckon, if we had of had 5 players with Hooper’s desire and drive spread across the team (and especiallythe forwards), we wouldn’t have woken up in the bottom of the ditch.

'What he’s given to this club is nothing short of incredible'

He shouldn’t have been picked. Not physically able for the most intense matches notably in Twickenham last year. Giving him the captaincy was also a very short sighted decision then after RWC 2023. Ireland have a tendency to be a little too loyal, which can mean the team ages and the rebuild is bigger than should be.

Plenty of lads out there to fill that squad.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.

Yes, I see that article here on RP, Nick. That is good news that Schmidt is going to look at the o’seas players.

Yes, I would think you are right that LAR will qualify. On the same points as MP, but surely they are too good not to win this crunch game….could be tEnse for ROG in the stands though.

Who would make it into a Women's British and Irish Lions starting XV?

I would pick Oifa Wafer at 6, put Aldcroft in the second row with Ward. I think Wafer is one of the few non-England players mentioned that would contend for a Red Rose shirt, the others being King and possibly Neve Jones. Conversely there are two English players mentioned, Sing and Venner, that probably won’t even make the Red Rose WC squad, let alone a Lions Tour. Still a lot can change in two years, watch out for Millie David.

Great article NB, thanks. I would like to know what is the reasoning why so many things are penalties in the scrum. Is it to do with safety or something else?
