Le sélectionneur du pays de Galles, Warren Gatland, gardera son poste pour le Tournoi des Six Nations 2025 malgré les mauvais résultats de son équipe, a annoncé la fédération galloise vendredi 20 décembre.

« J’ai eu un certain nombre de conversations très honnêtes avec Warren et je ne vais pas cacher le fait que sa position était en jeu lorsque nous avons réalisé notre évaluation », a déclaré la patronne de la fédération galloise, Abi Tierney, dans un communiqué à propos de l’entraîneur néo-zélandais.

« Comme tout entraîneur dans n’importe quel sport, il sait que la sécurité de son poste est directement liée aux performances de son équipe, et cette situation ne va que s’intensifier », a prévenu Tierney, pour qui Gatland est malgré tout « à la hauteur » du défi.

Le Pays de Galles reste sur une série record de 12 défaites consécutives, dont trois lors des matchs de novembre face aux Fidji, à l’Australie et à l’Afrique du Sud. Leur dernier succès remonte à plus d’un an, en octobre 2023 lors d’un match de poule de Coupe du monde face à la Géorgie.

Revenu en 2023 à la tête du Pays de Galles après l’avoir dirigé avec succès de 2007 à 2019 (quatre Tournois dont trois Grands Chelems), Gatland, âgé de 61 ans, est sous contrat jusqu’à la prochaine Coupe du monde en 2027 en Australie, mais pourrait à nouveau voir son poste menacé après le Tournoi.

« Ce groupe de joueurs a un potentiel énorme et nous travaillerons très dur tous ensemble pour redresser la barre sur le terrain », a déclaré Gatland.

Le Pays de Galles débute le Tournoi des Six Nations le 31 janvier prochain par un déplacement face au XV de France.

You're way off/behind JW. 'Current' not 'Former' analyst firstly.

Yes in that July series tries did reflect the opportunities NZ created, secondly.

Judging by tries is a very narrow view for a former analyst of the game don't you think Nick?

Last year was different for sure! Hence why is was referring to the previous year!

Yep, and not good signs when it's the 'playmakers' for Leinster who were having that out the back play shut down against bath. It was sluggish compared to the recently golden era.

What I meant is has Nienaber modified it specifically to win the Champions Cup, against teams like Toulouse and UBB.

Any they could just add a few laws to limit the width/speed of defence, but how longer would a change like that take?

What do you mean JW?

I don't think NZ proved any points v. the Felix Jones D, at least not in the July series. 4 tries in 2 games for he ABs represents a victory for the tourists I'd say....

The fix from game 1 to game 2 in the double-header between SA and NZ was relatively simple for the Boks - it can be summarsised in the phrase 'don't give them cheap turnover ball'. The four tries ABs scored in Test 1 took a combined four phases to score! Test 2 - nothing.

So the question for NZ is how they score when those lessosn are learned by the opponent.

No it started well before they became a factor, around 2018 with Rassie/Nienaber. UBB has only been attacking like they are now for a couple of seasons, no more than that.

I don't remember that winter personally Miz, but I do remember several similar ones in the years following. Driving to and fro from Wales to London, getting out the doormats to get the car up icy hill roads!

Yes the Nienaber D is the biggest growth are in Irish rugby right now, but will that translate to the national side, and does Easterby want to coach it?

John Dawes was one of those players who made everyone around him better by connecting them with his passing and reading ability!

A very interesting article, Nick. On beautiful and unseasonly cool summer morning here in our part of Qld., as the sun rises over the distant Border Ranges beyond the misty Lockyer Valley, that winter of '63 in the British Isles is now a distant but clear memory. There was a very heavy snowfall in Ulster, I was at school in Belfast. The snow was so heavy by mid morning that the headmaster closed down, sent us all home. Fine for those 99% of the kids who lived within a few miles of the school in E. Belfast. But my brother and I lived up on the Antrim Plateau, a good hour away. It was an interesting journey home, including a three mile hike along narrow country lanes !

It will be interesting to see how Ireland go this year in the 6N. The Nienaber defence revolution at Leinster is bound to be to the fore, with the dominance of that province in the make up of the team. However I would hope the legacy of the Lancaster era is still strong too. I'm not feeling too confident atm, with the AB game and the 2024 England 6N defeat too fresh in the memory.

Great clips from the JPR era. I see John Dawes involved there, and he was so often crucial with his ability to pass accurately under pressure. That is what is missing in the LAR game clips. A John Dawes type ability to pass well under pressure. I feel the teams that cause the rush defence problems will always be those that use out the back accurate passes to create space for the wide player, be he a Cheslin Kolbe or a big fast modern age forward,

What do you mean by forced their way through JPM? Into the CC? I didn’t follow the story when SA joined the North at the time - but I doubt SA could have forced much as the North call all the shots. And rightfully so, it is their territory.

SA rugby needs to obviously work on its competitiveness North, and divorcing from the system will only be unnecessarily disruptive for Everyone.

Saw the draws for the CC and EPCR now. I guess the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers will be targeting a win there. Which, strategically, might make more sense in the short term.

As an SA fan, the results are disappointing. But I do think the dust needs to settle and the setup and structure of the global season needs to figure itself out before we throw the baby out with the bath water JPM.

France’s backline is going to be scary this season. Hope their forwards come to the party. If they do, 6N will be a whitewash.
