Le retour de Sophie de Goede avec le Canada à VII
Sophie de Goede, capitaine de l’équipe canadienne de rugby à XV féminin, sera de retour avec la sélection canadienne à VII pour le HSBC SVNS Vancouver du 23 au 25 février 2024.
La troisième-ligne détient actuellement le titre de meilleure marqueuse de la première division féminine Allianz Premiership en Angleterre où elle évolue sous les couleurs des Saracens.
Un retour attendu
Finaliste pour le titre de Joueuse World rugby de l’Année 2022, elle a fait ses débuts internationaux à VII lors du tournoi HSBC France en mai dernier à Toulouse. Son talent a été vital pour l’équipe féminine de rugby à VII du Canada, contribuant à sa qualification pour les Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024 lors de la compétition qui s’est déroulée à Langford en août dernier.
Ce sera la première fois que Sophie de Goede sera accompagnée de Charity Williams, Caroline Crossley et Carissa Norsten à un tournoi international de rugby à VII à Vancouver.
Piper Logan, qui avait participé à son dernier match au Cap en décembre dernier, fait également son retour dans l’équipe canadienne après avoir complètement récupéré d’une blessure.
Beaucoup d’espoir
Pour l’entraîneur en chef Jack Hanratty, cette équipe promet de faire de belles choses à domicile, elle qui plafonne à une triste 8e place au général après avoir manqué de performer sur les trois premiers tournois : une 4e place à Dubaï (battu par la France dans la finale de bronze), une 6e place au Cap et une 7e place à Perth.
« Nous attendons toujours avec impatience l’étape canadienne des World Series, et notre équipe est impatiente de refouler la pelouse du stade de la BC Place et de réaliser une performance dont elle pourra être fière devant notre public enthousiaste », a déclaré Hanratty.
« Chaque joueuse de notre programme, qu’elle soit ou non sur la liste, a travaillé pour aider l’équipe à être performante et à se préparer en vue des Jeux olympiques.
« Nous avons eu un excellent bloc d’entraînement compétitif depuis notre retour de Perth, et nous aurons l’occasion de poursuivre notre préparation aux côtés de la France, de la Nouvelle-Zélande et du Japon au cours de la dernière semaine avant Vancouver. »
Le Canada débutera son tournoi contre la France (3e au classement général) avant de jouer la Grande-Bretagne (8e) puis l’Espagne (12e) dans la phase de poule.

Comments on RugbyPass
Men should show strength and be mean, but they should be able to show emotion to those close yo them in certain times, birth of your child, death of family, proud moment. This article is stupid

4 Go to commentsHonest, discipline, humility… Priceless.
2 Go to commentsSo many excuses. No mention of the SA number 2 being taken out illegally in the 2nd minute. That act of foul play had a massive impact on the SA game. Face it, NZ play pretty dirty very regularly, and it’s only since 2016 they’ve been held to higher officiating standards via stricter officiating and TMO reviews. They deserved to have a man down. Sorry. Fix the yellow and red cards and NZ will win more RWCs. Plus, there WAS a knock on invalidating the one try, so it was NOT a try. Period. Here’s a Kleenex…
210 Go to commentsOverheard conversation between NZ and SA rugby fans everywhere: We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! We’re the greatest! No we’re the greatest! Ireland are arrogant! True but they beat you! We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! Etc. etc, etc.

11 Go to comments“If they’d have beaten England, I still feel we would have been talking ‘is this the best team ever,’ ‘is this the best team that’s ever played in the Six Nations'” he said. “I still think they’re not quite that good. I actually don’t think they’re that good.” So Trimble is saying he doesn’t think this is the best 6N team of all time. He is silent on if it is the best Irish team of all time. Can’t disagree with him. Just another misrepresentative clickbait headline from the guys at RP.
23 Go to commentsWow, do we really still have to listen to all the excuses and “unfairness” of it all. Even blaming the bounce of an egg shaped ball for the loss. But the article is about context, so what about the Springboks having to play the other 5 teams in the top 6 and still beating a comparatively rested AB team on a very empty tank.
210 Go to comments“Teams would generally have three coaches below their head honcho; attack coach, defence coach, forwards coach” do they? I’m not sure what the NZ set up is tbh, but the other 4 sides top 5 sides all have very different structures to the one outlined in the article! As well as attack, defence, and forwards coaches, SA, Ireland, and France also have specialist scrum coaches. England have a specialist scrum coach too, but arguably don’t have a forwards coach, with that role taken on by Borthwick. SA also have a backs coach in addition to defence and attack, and Ireland and England have fitness coaches, with England also having two skills coaches.
2 Go to commentsWorst article I've read in a while. Trying to disguise a backhand slap as a compliment. The whole article is a bit weird and negative. I think South African men are emotional in general… think Clad le Clos’s father 2012 London Olympics.

23 Go to commentsIt was the strangest result ever. Etzebeth should've been yellow card for his cynical retiring move and a penalty try. Birth second half tries by the Allblacks were fantastic and the TMO operating outside the law to rule out the first try was egregious. Yes, the boks got the win but it was through some bizarre officiating that allowed them to sneak home against 14 men that dominated them. The quieter Bok supporters know and acknowledge the Allblacks were the better and dominant side. Justifying the win because they beat a pre world cup Allblacks selection is silly.

4 Go to commentsIt sounds like Andrew is trying to convince himself or has just lost all perspective. The team did look jaded for the last couple of games of the six nations but a few things were wrong there. Italy tackled their hearts out and made Ireland work hard for every try. Outsmarted by Scotland? Huh? Ireland got held up over the line about 4 times. Scotland did nothing on attack the whole game other than one breakaway near the end. A recharge and reset is needed which they hopefully will have had before the SA your.
23 Go to commentsIncluding SA and Argie teams was great for the quality of rugby, but middle of the night games and player travel/ jet lag make that unworkable. I think that SA in Europe and Argie building an American league with USA, Canada etc would be better long term. If Oz can't sustain Rebels then next cab off the rank should be a Japanese team. Keep regional comps to time zones, both club and test rugby. Then existing test windows for test tours plus RWC.

210 Go to commentsThanks Sam. Interesting read. Harder or easier for Parling to come into a completely new setup where performance was abysmal last time out? I’d suggest easier to be better but, as you suggest, will be a lot to do with how much latitude he’s granted. Hopefully all he needs. With hybrids like Holloway, Hannigan, Swinton and Leota as options at 6 we have the basics for a strong lineout. BPA returning means we have good options at 2 also with Faessler, Porecki and Uelese, although Jordan is a scrumming beast rather than a dart thrower. I’m typically a pessimist or realist but that’s never applied to the Wallabies
