La Joueuse du Tournoi des Six Nations 2024 sera-t-elle la troisième-ligne de l’équipe de France Romane Ménager ? Elle fait partie des quatre joueuses sélectionnées sur la base du nombre de votes des supporters reçus pour l’Équipe du Tournoi, avec une limite d’une candidate par nation.

Romane Ménager (27 ans, 62 sélections) a été une figure centrale dans la série d’invincibilité de l’équipe de France jusqu’à la finale du dernier samedi contre l’Angleterre. Elle s’est classée sixième en termes de distance parcourue (404,4 mètres) et troisième en termes de passes après contact (six).

Auteure d’un essai, elle a été particulièrement efficace en attaque comme en défense avec un taux de plaquages réussis de 92,73% (seulement quatre manqués sur un total de 55).

Romane n’est pas la seule troisième-ligne retenue dans cette short list puisque figure également l’Irlandaise Aoife Wafer qui, à 21 ans, ne compte que 7 sélections et incarne déjà le renouveau de l’équipe d’Irlande.

Votes ouverts jusqu’au 7 mai

Elle a été remarquable en parcourant 417 mètres ballon en main. En plus de cela, avec deux essais marqués et une quatrième place au classement des franchissements (six), elle a démontré son efficacité sur le terrain.

Les deux autres joueuses sont plus à briller en termes d’essais. Il s’agit de l’ailière de l’Italie Alyssa D’Incà et de l’arrière de l’Angleterre Ellie Kildunne.

Alyssa D’Incà (22 ans, 26 sélections) a inscrit trois essais lors du Tournoi de cette année. Son jeu complet lui a valu d’être sélectionnée dans l’équipe-type de la semaine à quatre reprises, un exploit partagé uniquement avec Kildunne, la dernière candidate.

A 24 ans et 43 sélections, l’Anglaise s’est illustrée en inscrivant un minimum de deux essais à chaque match jusqu’au Crunch, pour un total de neuf essais sur l’ensemble du Tournoi.

Les votes se clôturent le mardi 7 mai à 23h (heure française) sur le site internet officiel du Tournoi des Six Nations.

It's time to stop hating on Damian McKenzie, the best 10 in the Championship

My bad, one real miss isn't that bad though. Dmac's obviously got a lot more to his game, he arguably does too much work for the team covering as a full back, taking the contestables and counter attacking, but he's only been playing 10 for two years, and maybe in his youth. It shows in my opinion, and this is where the criticism is laid, and will only been resolved over time. Albornoz is as described in the previous article ranking him higher than Dmac, that BS is replying to, a true ten. He's been at it his whole career, and has already gone through this transition period of find out what is required from a 10 at the top level. In my opinion this is what really counts above this 'all-round' advantage that you want to give him, especially with the criticism being laid on him.


Again, he is simply putting his own opinion forward after others had commented on him compared to, not only their 10's, but how well Argentina and South Africa are playing in general. That is the volume of criticism laid on McKenzies feet, which is the article I think criticisms are more worth of being placed. At least Ben is comparing apples with apples. I also suggest you watching the English games to get a better perspective of how well he can play in varying games. He might not have looked completely assured in those games (his first at getting a run at 10) but he executed superbly and hardly made a mistake.

It's time to stop hating on Damian McKenzie, the best 10 in the Championship

NZ pulled a couple of very good kick chase games off last year. The second half in Auckland against the boks I remember. Most were around halfway (just on their side) I think, were I agree, this year for the boks for instance that is mostly on their own 40m line (or more towards their own line). Even between those two success', I'd say a 10 meter difference in the area they want to land them. They seemed to stop using the tactic last year after Jordan got carded.


I think they have always preferred to give their opponents a chance to run the ball back at them, yes. What is being see is that it's not successful these days (mostly because other teams are much more confident playing like NZ these days), and the kick chase is being critised as inaccurate. I'm not buying that, at least not yet. Beauden certainly didn't achieve anything better did he?


Yeah, interesting. I'm not really sure what number best reflects what I like, but on review I do see the number increasing for runs. The games they were in control, England series and the first SA test, they were 1:6 or under. The game at Eden Park in the pouring rain they showed the ability to control the game by foot at 1:4 (1:8, like you say, the previous week).


Really interesting. I'm not going to even begin to give a cause for that, they weren't behind in the Eden Park loss, but only had 4 22 entries. They may have lost structure towards the end but it could also have just been the change at 9 to Ratima that changed the kicking dynamic game to game.


I've heard a few grand but obviously that could be in anything. Yeah I think they'd give a quote based on what you use it for?
