Le Tournoi des Six Nations s’adapte aux daltoniens
L’Irlande et le Pays de Galles s’apprêtent à s’affronter dans leurs traditionnels maillots vert et rouge unis pour la dernière fois lors d’un match du Tournoi des Six Nations.

La combinaison vert-rouge est un problème particulier pour les supporters daltoniens, et il se posera à nouveau lors du match qui opposera les deux pays à Dublin le samedi 24 février.
Le règlement de World Rugby entrera en vigueur en janvier de l’année prochaine afin d’aider les personnes souffrant d’une déficience visuelle des couleurs (CVD).
Cette réglementation sera adoptée par le Tournoi des Six Nations, toutes les équipes étant chargées d’éviter les conflits de tenues susceptibles d’avoir un impact négatif sur les spectateurs et les téléspectateurs souffrant de déficience visuelle.
Dans le cadre du Tournoi des Six Nations, les équipes visiteuses seront donc invitées à changer de tenue lorsqu’une incompatibilité de couleur aura été identifiée. Par conséquent, l’Irlande portera une tenue différente à Cardiff l’année prochaine si les deux tenues ne changent pas.
Le Pays de Galles porte actuellement une tenue noire, ce qui n’aurait pas permis d’éviter le problème à l’Aviva Stadium samedi dernier.
Un handicap plus important que ce qu’on pense
Le daltonisme de type rouge-vert affecte à lui seul 8 % des hommes (0,5 % des femmes), ce qui signifie qu’il pourrait y avoir deux ou trois joueurs daltoniens dans chaque groupe masculin de 32 joueurs.
Le daltonisme n’est pas sans poser de sérieux problèmes dans le rugby comme l’avait déjà pointé World Rugby dans un rapport publié en 2021 :
- Confusion des couleurs des tenues – avec les autres joueurs, les officiels du match, la couleur du terrain, la foule dans les tribunes
- Équipement – cônes d’entraînement, chasubles, formation en salle de classe
- Dans les stades – avec les installations, panneaux d’orientation, la signalétique de sécurité, les types d’éclairage.
- Information – sites web, achat de billets, achat de produits de marque
- Couverture TV – graphiques non accessibles, logos et publicités « invisibles »
- Sur le lieu de travail – compréhension des feuilles de calcul, graphiques et tableaux, présentations, équipements techniques basés sur des codes couleurs
- Parties prenantes externes (investisseurs/ sponsors/ organisations de médias/ services d’urgence) – pouvoir comprendre des informations données en couleur
A partir de janvier 2025, les orientations édictées par World Rugby deviendront une véritable politique pour les compétitions officielles internationales.

Great piece Nick, plenty to chew on. Loved this ‘biases’ line from Geoff, shows he is a thinker - “If you asked me for a shortlist of coaches who appealed to my biases, he would be on it.” I think Schmidt is towing a similar line to Rennie in regards to OS players, he is publicly saying he prefers local talent, but almost certainly will be fighting to have the likes of skelton in the team. Interesting to hear the backroom on the rebels and what a cockup that is, just when you think RA admin has hit rock bottom it digs deeper. Other bit that caught my eye was his skills focus on things like passing from 7s at the base of the lineout, great little details. but also scary that a SR level 8 didn’t know how to operate within a lineout - telling!

20 Go to commentsShannon Frizell’s second year is optional is how I heard it. Given nothing has been confirmed yet it gets more and more likely he signs to return next year. Cant wait to see Finau doing more work on Internal players.
29 Go to commentsBlindside flankers should be hard hitting defenders, good lineout jumper with height, and a hard worker who hits and cleans rucks. If he can be a destructive ball carrier it’s a bonus but not a necessity. Samipeni Fineau and Cullen Grace are excellent at those core skills and my choice at blindside. Brad Shields is dismissed because he is 33 but not sure why that should be a consideration for this season. Shields too does these core roles well. Just don’t pick an 8 and shift him to 6 like the wingers on The Breakdown suggest, as if 6 and 8 are interchangeable. They are not. An 8 is first and foremost a dynamic ball carrier, not necessarily a destructive defender as a 6 should be. Devon Flanders and Akira Ioane are #8 s forced to play blindside because their teams have better options at 8 than them. Do not pick them at blindside

1 Go to commentsReturning to the Chiefs would be another good change that could only put him into a better position to succeed in black
6 Go to commentsSimply outrageous and demonstrably false to say Finau’s tackle on Lynagh was “2 seconds late” In reality it was probably 0.5 seconds after he passed the ball. If you carry the ball at speed to within 5m of the defensive line you can expect to get tackled. Finau could have pulled out of it and not absolutely flattened him for sure, but there was going to be contact either way. He seems like a high risk selection at the moment, but there is no one else like him in NZ at the moment. His big tackles make the highlight reels but he is also a great athlete, very fast for such a big man, spent most of his days at lock so also very strong in the line out.
29 Go to commentsYes, Finau looks like the best option. Blackadder is not big enough for an international 6 - he should join the queue at 7. Frizzell had the power and heft and line-out height to play lock, so maybe that is where the ABs should be looking, not at a 7 who’s not big enough for 6, but at a lock who might have the agility to play 6, like Scott Barrett, or… Natai Ah Kuoi, who absolutely fits that bill, but seldom gets to play 6 because the Chiefs have so many loosies.

6 Go to commentsNo need to worry about losers’ mentality hysteria from Australia. Finau has all the attributes, I don't recall a high or no arms tackle from him, and his timing has been controlled very well since the round 3 Lynagh tackle. It's an easy decision for Razor, the only question is who should back him up from the bench. He can't be overworked like Squire was in his first full season.
29 Go to comments“Reds coach Les Kiss saying later: “I think every player has the right to feel safe.” Maybe Rugby is the wrong sport for people who want to feel safe..?
29 Go to commentsNot sure what the context was, but the highlights showed one scrum against Aussie where the baby Blacks were going backwards at a pace. The pack has been the issue since 2017, so they might be in for another reality check soon. This tournament should really have been two rounds, would have learned a lot more.
1 Go to commentsPeter Lakai has a ‘lot of size’? Since when? To Kirifi maybe. I think Laidlaw clearly saw he’s too small for 6 or 8, so plonked him at 7. Has potential to be Ardies understudy in black for 7.
6 Go to commentsDalton for skipper?
16 Go to commentsOh he's ‘Irish qualified’ isn't that convenient. If Ireland get any more Kiwis (and Aussie) in their backline they might need to run out in green and black kit soon. How is the supposed best rugby system in the world in need of trawling for journeyman Kiwi players?
2 Go to commentsCallum Grace is playing well now that he's finally back in his best position. But given it was Razor who somehow thought Grace was dynamic enough to be a No8 when he's clearly not, Im not sure he’d backtrack on that. Finau is risky with his style, and there's almost no point picking Blackadder when he can’t stay on the field more than five minutes.
29 Go to commentsThe team on paper has more supposed ‘stars’ than a lot of the sides they’re losing to. They’ve got the Razor-blues and aren't playing for Penney. He should jump before he's pushed.
1 Go to commentsProof. That if you lay dramatic instrumental hip hop music over a video of a skinny pale white kid running an unopposed zig zag on a training ground filled with rookies - it’ll look next-level epic!
13 Go to commentsIf they win the challenge Cup then it will have all been worth it. If they don’t, then maybe he should go. Lots of ppl seem to think very highly of him as a coach, but maybe he would be better working under someone. Any top sides looking for forwards coaches rn?
1 Go to commentsJason Ryan knows his craft as forwards coach and I'm sure he’ll hold sway with Scott Robertson of who he feels worthy of selection…his credentials validated when he put a 7xcaps between them front row...Ethan, Samisoni and Lomax on Ellis Park…Go the AB's…
