United Rugby Championship

Richard Cockerill aurait trouvé où rebondir

Le désormais ancien sélectionneur de la Géorgie, Richard Cockerill, qui a claqué la porte de la sélection quelques jours après le tirage au sort pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027, figure parmi les principaux candidats pour succéder à Colm Tucker au poste d’entraîneur de la mêlée du Connacht à la fin de la saison.

Après dix ans passés dans la province, Tucker quittera son rôle à l’issue de l’exercice 2025-2026, nommé nouvel entraîneur principal de l’équipe d’Irlande U20.

En quête d’un nouveau défi depuis sa démission de la tête des Lelos, Cockerill, 55 ans, possède une solide expérience du United Rugby Championship. Passé par Edinburgh entre 2017 et 2021, l’ancien talonneur de Leicester et ex-entraineur de Montpellier (2023) a marqué chacune de ses équipes par son exigence et sa rigueur dans la conquête.

Selon plusieurs sources, d’autres techniciens seraient également sur les rangs. Le champion du monde 2003 Trevor Woodman et l’ancien spécialiste de la mêlée de Northampton, Matt Ferguson, figureraient parmi les concurrents directs.

How the Top 14 has improved Toulon’s England contingent

Problem is, the short term tactical decision is dwarfed by the long term strategic consequences to English rugby. The board needs to look after the whole game long term, not just the tactical issue of the week.

I admire the way Kirk did NOT appoint the most respected coach in NZ, Wayne Smith, who held the position of Performance Coach and was inside Robertson’s camp and could see for himself the work of both coaches and players.

Kirk did NOT because he knew Smith opposed Razor’s firing and the position his coaching team was incompetent.

Don’t worry David Kirk is from Auckland and was All Black captain so naturally he knows what’s best. LMAO.

Pat Lam: 'I feel gutted for him. He is a good friend'

Lets be honest. If you were the Highlanders or Blues head coach, you are going to apply for the All Blacks job as you are contracted to NZR already and the AB job is a big pay raise.

So Joseph and Cotter will both apply.

Robertson’s departure will surely only hinder NZ’s progress now. Can’t see them coming back from this until after 2027 (they may prove me wrong, I hope, they have the players)

But who in their right mind would wanna take over after the previous guy got lobbed for only having a 75% win rate !

Pat Lam: 'I feel gutted for him. He is a good friend'

Pat knows that Wayne Smith was intentionally NOT appointed to the Performance Review Panel of 3, despite being the MOST respected rugby brain and coach in NZ, because Smith would never have supported firing Razor.

So kirk appointed two yes men in Mealamu and Trinker to the panel instead to ensure the outcome he wanted.

Joesph offers NOTHING without Tony Brown. Brown will not be available until 2028. So, Joseph can re-apply then.

The best chance of winning the 2027 RWC is Cotter with Schmidt and Wayne Smith.

Oh what nonsense! Nothing wring with asking the question. TB is afterall a Kiwi, with ambitions to coach the AB’s one day. No harm done. TB could say Yay or Nay, no nefarious stuff at all.

Cotter and Schmidt are good friends and coached together at Clermont winning the Champions Cup, Cotter as head coach and Schmidt coaching back & attack.

This would be the ideal pair to lead All Blacks in 2026 and 2027 along with a quality, test experienced defence coach. Cotter coaches the forwards.

You don’t believe Joseph’s credentials should be challenged?

Especially based on his own merit without Tony Brown?
