Top 14 : Fletcher Smith quitte Lyon

Published: 4 Février 2025 04:12 PST

Lyon a trouvé un accord avec l’ouvreur néo-zélandais Fletcher Smith pour « mettre un terme à leur collaboration », a annoncé le club rhodanien mardi dans un communiqué.

Âgé de 29 ans, Smith était arrivé au LOU Rugby en 2022 en tant que joker médical de son compatriote Liam Sopoaga. Il était sous contrat jusqu’à la fin de cette saison.

Fletcher Smith ne s’est jamais imposé dans l’équipe lyonnaise, avec laquelle il a disputé 24 matches (74 points), dont le dernier, le 11 janvier, contre Connacht (52-24) en Challenge européen.

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

A case could be made for all four South African teams reaching the play-offs this season, but each has points to prove with RWC places on the line.

'Expectations are so high at Leinster that merely league-winning seasons are not considered good enough'

Looking forward to seeing Connacht in what could be the last year for Lancaster in this exciting project. Leinster have the squad, Muster have too many problems, if Ulster can build they will be a threat. Sounds about right. Lets see what the opening weeks brings

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

To be perfectly honest it will be difficuly. The Sharks have almost no hope, their team and squad seems weaker each year and they look like they are lacking X-factor in a number of areas and their coach is way too inexperienced. I wonder if they can even crack the top 8. The Lions dont have the depth or resources but they have cohesion and some really intriguing combos, making the top 8 again should be their target to build on the success of last season. The Stormers have made some big signings but those Boks may only be available for half the season and therin lies the problem for them. They have plenty of quality in the squad but they lose so much to the Boks and have serious player availability problems. The Bulls have signed some reliable performers but thats been to replace some world class performers who have left. Their squad looks weaker this year but they have some depth and experience and are the most likely to finish in the top 2 with a running game thats continuously evolving. Overall I dont see any of the franchises finishing 1st on the log which is an absolute must considering the dip in performances when they play away. Having said that Leinster (ageing squad, less depth), Glasgow (several star players left) and Munster (depth issues in several positions) all look weaker this year compared to last. So maybe that evens itself out as far as the SA franchises are concerned but only time will tell.

Leinster pull trigger on long-rumoured Andrew Porter switch for URC opener

Have Leinster ever won a game in Johannesburg? There is an argument to say that this is Leinster's best chance to do so. The availability of Porter, Baird & O'Brien, ironically due to last season's injuries, mean this might just be the strongest team Leinster have ever named in round 1!

I don't think we are favourites to win, but I give us a chance. And anything will be better than R1 last year.

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

You are right to an extent but SA fans want to see their franchise teams do just as well as the Boks. In fact its one of the things that frustrate SA fans the most, the opportunity keeps coming but they never seem to get over the line. This doesnt happen to the Boks so why do the franchises keep losing finals? Novody can figure that one out just yet

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

Actually the Lions have pretty good continuity this year. I hope they make the quarters this year again and maybe progress to the semis. They arent bogged down too much by Bok selection and they have some incredible firepower in their back row. They have a reliable tight 5 and a cohesive backline. Thats why they won the SA conference last year and I reckon they can build on it this year but they must improve when playing outside of SA

Wheres the moderator on these comments? This is a terribly classist comment that looks down on the third world. One of the most disgusting comments I have seen on this site

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

I am Brazilian, I have been following South African rugby since 2015. I root for the Lions, but I think they will have a very challenging season because they lack depth. I think the Sharks, the Bulls and the Stormers are able to win the competition this year, mainly because I see Leinster weaker than last season.

Not hard to translate in this day and age

'He fits that mould': Former All Black backs ex-captain to reclaim starting spot

I think Mils is dead right. Scott Barrett hopefully gets through a game or 2 for the Naki. He is tough and a world class lock. Crusaders missed him earlier in the year and the AB’s in South Africa. It has been a long way back for him, hope it all goes well. All Blacks need him.

Uncertainty reigns but Welsh rugby must plough on in hope of a brighter future

Missing one point Mark, in that there will be a legal challenge to the ruling to reduce the sides to three. Let’s hope they win. The WRU (Worst Run Union) need to grow the game but are solely fixed on cuts. We can easily fund 4 teams if the commercial department did what it says on the tin. However, nobody wants to know them at the moment.

Stuart Lancaster shoots down interprovincial move rumours

I’m going for Connacht to beat the stormers and go on to make the quarter-final. I think Lancaster is hugely under-rated and has been since 2015. Not his fault that Chris Robshaw got it wrong.

‘We know what’s coming’: Taniela Tupou looks ahead to Springboks challenge

I get the feeling that most of the squad think their job is done just getting the jersey, so it may take that to shake them up. Look at the RWC23 side, rubbished before the QF against Ireland (and for good reason) which is what it took to put any fire in them.

Ex-All Black captain Barrett named to play for first time in 10 months

I don’t think any of the locks have come close to the standards of their predecessors, so Scott has every chance of playing his way back into a pack devoid of physical menace.
