Classement mondial : l'Afrique du Sud prend la tête
Samedi soir, le règne de quinze mois de l’Irlande au sommet du classement mondial masculin World Rugby présenté par Capgemini a pris fin en même temps que les espoirs irlandais de remporter la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 après une défaite 28-24 concédée face aux All Blacks au Stade de France.

L’Irlande glisse à la troisième place du classement tandis que la Nouvelle-Zélande se hisse au deuxième rang. Les Springboks ont remporté dimanche 15 octobre à Saint-Denis face à l’équipe de France un quart de finale très serré (29-28), ce qui leur permet de s’emparer de la première place avec 1,57 point d’avance sur les All Blacks.
Les Sud-Africains comptent désormais 92,48 points, contre 90,91 pour la Nouvelle-Zélande et 90,57 pour l’Irlande.
La France chute de la 2e à la 4e place
La France se retrouve quatrième avec 87,81 points, juste devant l’Angleterre, qui gagne une place aux dépens de l’Écosse grâce à sa victoire 30-24 face aux Fidji.
L’Angleterre et l’Argentine ont désormais une chance d’entrer dans l’histoire : en effet, aucune équipe ne figurant pas parmi les quatre premiers du classement au début de la compétition n’est jamais parvenue à remporter le Trophée Webb Ellis.
L’Argentine reste dans la course après avoir remonté un déficit de dix points pour battre le pays de Galles (29-17) dans le premier des quarts de finale. Les Pumas et le XV du poireau s’échangent leurs places, et sont désormais septième et huitième.
Pendant ce temps, en Rugby Europe Conference 2023-24, le Luxembourg et la Slovénie récoltent les bénéfices de leurs victoires respectives sur la Bosnie-Herzégovine et la Hongrie.
Le Luxembourg gagne trois places (61e) et la Slovénie huit (72e).

No doubt Razor will want to kick the 2024 campaign off with a decisive selection of the top match fit players to insure his selection as the appointed coach has maximum impact. We the supporters and critics will settle for nothing less because historically it is what we have become ingrained and accustomed to. With that in mind and the distinct fall from grace of his beloved crusaders we will expect him to stamp his mark in the same way he left his old post.

Lacking in my opinion is the skill sets that once was and now seemingly vacant within the squads regular front runners. Furthermore there seems to be no set game plan, the accuracy that once was is no more, the quality off the bench were poor matchups and frankly I feel a lot has to do with the coaching. Never thought i’d be critising the sadas to this degree.

9 Go to commentsThis game was always going to be close, Canada have such a dominant pack and the Black Ferns have come unstuck in that area against teams like France and England in the past.
2 Go to commentsA distinct discomfort with the officiating they were probably selected from the local IRA narcos branch along with the commentators bloody fly tippers.

2 Go to commentsExcellent match. Great to see Keenan and Ryan back for Leinster. Super result for Ulster. Season is turning around.
1 Go to comments“We need eight or nine new players, who are hard-wearing and durable and experienced Premiership performers”. So why are they scouting a retired fullback who himself admits that his “body is broken”?
1 Go to commentsBrumbies hand, knocked a Crusaders hand. Therefore, knock on in goal. Crusaders, goal line drop out should’ve been awarded. most likely after that 24 each at full time, so extra time would’ve been the right an entertaining outcome. Act Jim

1 Go to commentsThey have been cruelled by injuries but almost nobody (Sevu Reece and Fletcher Newell big exceptions) has played above himself which regularly happened before. Surely Scott Robertson had maintained the recruitment programme and it looks like a reasonable squad. Last in this competition will stall a lot of careers. Penny seems likeable. But it’s not enough even though this was better. We haven’t been good enough and it’s not helped by the “it’s been 15 years since… “etc “after nearly every match. Seems somehow a soft gifting of something once valuable. Kieran Read giving comments last week almost choked describing the easy surrender of possession by the forwards. I’d love to think that the senior players some of whom are back can show enough pride in the jersey to test the Blues next week.
5 Go to commentsWho will Joe select for the back three with so many in form candidates? Just hope he doesn’t get shafted like Dave Rennie and to a lesser extent Deans.
8 Go to commentsAlways reluctant to blame a coach when losses rack up, but Penney must go. The backline is dysfunctional and the coach must carry the can. No cohesion, no idea and in many cases, minimal skill. The trains out of Roma St depart faster than the ball from Crusaders’ set pieces. Wouldn’t be surprised if the forwards went on strike.
5 Go to commentsAdding to earlier comment. Cullen Grace has been playing great at no6. Lio-Willie , who was on fire a few weeks ago, had a bad game. I think Cullen should have been moved to 8 earlier, Dominic Gardiner on earlier. Feel for Quinten Strange , put in a big shift .
8 Go to commentsWe dominated the scrums Ben Curry was all over pitch again .Surely James Harper got to be one of best English tightheads
1 Go to commentsRoos is a better option at 6 than 8 for the boks. Needs to work on his windgat though.
