Le talonneur de l’équipe de France, Julien Marchand, s’est blessé aux ischio-jambiers contre les All Blacks vendredi 8 septembre et devrait manquer la fin des matchs de poule de la Coupe du monde.

Le numéro 2 toulousain avait commencé le match avec un gros bandage à la cuisse gauche et n’a même pas pu attendre la mi-temps du match d’ouverture de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby au Stade de France avant de sortir pour ce qui a été confirmé par le sélectionneur Laurent Labit comme une blessure aux ischio-jambiers. Selon le Midi Olympique, le joueur de 28 ans risque d’être absent quatre à cinq semaines avant de passer des examens complémentaires la semaine prochaine, ce qui le priverait probablement des matchs contre l’Uruguay, la Namibie et l’Italie.

Maintenant que la France a franchi le plus gros obstacle de son groupe en battant les All Blacks 27-13, Labit a déclaré aujourd’hui que Marchand n’était même pas dans les plans du staff pour jouer contre l’Uruguay jeudi 14 septembre.

« Comme je l’ai dit, on ne va pas agir dans la précipitation. De toute manière, “Juju” (Marchand) n’était pas prévu pour le match face à l’Uruguay. Sa blessure ne change rien dans nos plans pour le moment », a déclaré Laurent Labit.

En attendant, « Sipili Falatea pourrait jouer talon, Baille aussi ».

Regarding Henry: Why Australian rugby has a new centre of attention

Nice one Nick. I have always been someone who believes in players needing to do their role, and that teams should be better than the sum of their parts. Suaalii may be a lab-born, drago like specimen and win every NFL-combine like test on the training pitch, but the fact is he hasn’t been doing his core role and the team does better at the moment without him. He doesn’t link with his team well in defense and often leave gaps even if people say ‘he is a physical league player’. In attack, he often hesitates and picks the wrong line on running, and wrong option when passing. This is why I have called for flook in the past and now henry. Not because they are a better athlete, but because they do their core job and make the team look better.

If you go back to the 1st game vs japan the WBs played the same backline moves with suaalii and I think the comparisons are instructive with henry. Comparison 1: the short ball. When suaalii ran the short line, he ended up running at the same hole as hunter (who drew 2 defenders) and crowded the space rather than running into the hole one man wider. Hunter luckily hit the right option out the back and Wright ended up scoring in the far corner. Herny on the other hand hit the right gap and would’ve setup a great try if not for the forward pass. Comparison 2: bouncing out and hitting the wing. Compare henry in your 3rd clip hitting jorgo when on the outs line and needing to link with his winger - on the chest perfect pass. Suaalii last week got caught between taking contact and offloading, hitting potter on the wing, and canham who switched back and the ball ended up going to absolutely no one. Luckily potter picked it up and sliced through a gap to score but suaalii definitely didn’t execute.
