Le carton rouge en finale de France 2023 a-t-il influencé la retraite de Sam Cane ?

PARIS, FRANCE - 28 OCTOBRE : Sam Cane (Nouvelle-Zélande) quitte le terrain après avoir reçu un carton jaune de l'arbitre Wayne Barnes, alors qu'une fenêtre de 10 minutes pour une révision du bunker TMO commence pendant le match de la finale de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby entre la Nouvelle-Zélande et l'Afrique du Sud au Stade de France, le 28 octobre 2023 à Paris, en France.

Le désormais futur ex-capitaine des All Blacks, Sam Cane, a révélé que la défaite cuisante de l’année dernière en finale de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby face à l’Afrique du Sud n’a pas nécessairement contribué à sa décision de prendre sa retraite internationale à la fin de l’année 2024.

Sam Cane, qui compte 95 sélections, est devenu le premier joueur de l’histoire de la finale de la Coupe du Monde à être expulsé après avoir reçu un carton rouge au milieu de la première période au Stade de France.

La Nouvelle-Zélande avait redoublé d’effort pour riposter aux Sud-Africains, mais n’avait pas réussi à reprendre le dessus. Environ 30 minutes après le coup de sifflet final, le capitaine confiait que le carton rouge était quelque chose avec lequel il devrait « vivre pour toujours ».

« J’ai encore beaucoup à offrir au groupe »

Près de sept mois se sont écoulés et les All Blacks se préparent à inaugurer une nouvelle ère sous la houlette de l’entraîneur Scott Robertson. Cane sera éligible aux rencontres prévues cette année avant de prendre sa retraite.

A 32 ans, il a récemment annoncé sa décision surprise après avoir signé un contrat de trois ans au Japon avec le Tokyo Sungoliath. Le Kiwi a depuis précisé que l’impact émotionnel et mental de la défaite en Coupe du monde de l’année dernière n’avait pas été un facteur dans sa prise de décision.

« Je ne dirais pas que c’est le cas… Je ne pense pas », a déclaré Cane à l’émission de radio Rock Morning Rumble. « Dans ma tête, cela n’a pas vraiment joué un rôle dans la prise de décision.

« Il ne fait aucun doute que l’année dernière a été très éprouvante pour moi, tant sur le plan émotionnel que mental.

« Cette pause ici – même si les deux derniers mois ont été consacrés à la rééducation – a été bénéfique, et je suis très motivé pour revenir et être encore disponible pour la sélection.

« Même si c’est ma dernière année, j’ai le sentiment d’avoir encore beaucoup à offrir au groupe, surtout quand on sait que de nombreux All Blacks de haut niveau sont partis.

« Je peux apporter ma pierre à l’édifice, non seulement en dehors du terrain, mais aussi, je l’espère, sur le terrain. »

Le soutien de toute une nation

Sam Cane avait du mal à trouver les mots pour exprimer ce qu’il ressentait après le match décisif de la Coupe du monde de l’année dernière. Avec le poids et le soutien de toute une nation reposant sur leurs épaules, les All Blacks avaient échoué de peu dans leur quête.

Son carton rouge a fait couler beaucoup d’encre après le plus grand match de rugby de l’histoire, et ce pendant des semaines, voire des mois. Mais lorsque les All Blacks sont rentrés chez eux, ils n’ont pas été accueillis avec colère et défiance.

« Depuis des années, le public néo-zélandais nous transmet ses attentes et la pression liée au fait d’être un All Black, et cette pression extérieure nous pousse également, pour être honnête », explique Cane.

« Nous étions très déçus, vraiment, d’être à un ou deux points d’accomplir quelque chose d’assez unique compte tenu des circonstances. Puis, en rentrant à la maison, nous avons été très fiers de cette réaction, qui a certainement contribué au processus de guérison.

« Même la réaction à l’aéroport… Nous ne nous attendions pas à ce qu’il y ait du monde, mais il y avait des gens avec des pancartes. Nous nous sommes sentis très fiers de ce que nous avions réussi à faire, même si, dans notre esprit, nous avions échoué. »

Rieko Ioane to join Leinster in bombshell move

Yeah exactly. I wanted to watch the last game because I saw the headline that Nick had done an article on it. I saw all the same flaws I had come to expect cause NZ troubles at international level. He grubbered it through with two men unmarked out wide, because he doesn’t have the passing or vision to get it to them. He through a wobbly spiral that nearly got intercepted getting to space out wide after that. Even his little pop pass for a try was uncertain and if anybody else was their would have been plucked out of the air but the defence. As it was the guy went over at close range for a try, but like you say, we know from the past that he still would have made that wrong type of passing choice (should have been a simple yet firm double pump) against better defenses. There were a bunch of other minor things too, getting bumped off, all just in the first half. Not that he didn’t do a lot of Leinster of course, I just care about what he can do in black, and well I definitely wasn’t going to get any good examples out of a onesided contest like that so gave up at about the 33/35min mark.


I was so disappointed because I really do want him to develop and be able to use all his skills. I still remember really enjoying his audacity as a young fella to try things for the All Blacks. Things that when they went wrong got him unceremoniously vilified. I suppose he was another example of a player from that error mismanaged, or impacted by mismanagement, thrust into the starting role of a All Black fullback, mostly to allow Beauden to play 10. He really wasn’t ready at all to be used full time like he was. But I still feel that if he can just get to the right size he can make carrying the ball (and defence) his best attribute, and that will make it so much easier everywhere else. On the 10, what the 13 needs to be doing, and on himself to not require anything too special with the other options of pass or kick, because he’ll give himself so much extra time if the defence is actually worried about him breaking the line.


I was shocked to find the Jordie was Nicks main example for how well they’re playing LOL!

Defensive woes won't stop Moana Pasifika from being contenders

I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.

One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.

Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.

Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.

By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.

I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com
