Sam Cane à la retraite forcée ? Un ancien All Black accuse

Décidément, l’annonce de la retraite internationale de Sam Cane fait parler. Le 3e ligne aile, capitaine de la Nouvelle-Zélande depuis juillet 2020 et la retraite de Kieran Read, a en effet annoncé il y a quelques jours qu’il ne porterait plus la mythique tenue noire à partir de la fin de saison 2024.

Une annonce justifiée par sa décision de prolonger son lucratif contrat avec le club japonais des Suntory Goliath pour trois années supplémentaires. « Ce contrat me garantira une stabilité financière jusqu’en 2027, année où je vais fêter mon 35e anniversaire », a étayé le joueur.

Le carton rouge reçu en finale de Coupe du Monde (une première dans l’histoire de la compétition) a été avancé comme possible raison de cette mise en retrait, mais l’hypothèse a été rejetée par Cane lui-même.

Alors certains continuent de chercher. Dernière théorie en date, l’influence de Scott Robertson, le nouvel entraîneur des All Blacks, dans la décision de Cane. C’est en effet ce qu’a soutenu Israel Dagg au micro de la radio australo- néo-zélandaise SENZ.

« J’ai l’impression qu’on lui a forcé la main. Je pense qu’il [Robertson] a lui a tapé sur l’épaule en lui disant : ‘Bonjour mon garçon, ton histoire avec le rugby néo-zélandais est actée, Scott Barrett va prendre le poste de capitaine’.

« Je pense franchement qu’on l’a contraint [à prendre sa retraite internationale]. Il y a eu des discussions à ce sujet en ligne, mais la réalité est qu’on lui a dit de passer à l’étape suivante, et sa prochaine étape est d’engranger des yens au Japon. »

Simple conviction, info avérée ou théorie du complot ? En tout cas, on va bientôt avoir une indication : ‘Razor’ Robertson dévoilera d’ici peu le groupe retenu pour les tests estivaux en juillet face à l’Angleterre et les Fidji, avant le lancement du Rugby Championship contre l’Argentine le 10 août.

Avec ou sans Sam Cane ? « Comme tout le reste, c’est une question de forme. Il revient de blessure, il doit être performant pour être appelé avec les All Blacks. Il le sait », a déclaré l’ancien joueur de Perpignan.

« Comme tout le reste, c’est une question de forme. Il revient d’une blessure, il doit être performant pour être impliqué avec les All Blacks. Il le sait », a déclaré le sélectionneur des All Blacks.

« Il a toujours cette personnalité et ces qualités de leader. Il sait quoi dire au bon moment, ce qui est précieux. Comme vous le savez, quand vous avez joué 95 test-matchs, vous connaissez le job, non ? Vous savez ce qu’il faut faire. S’il performant, il sera appelé. »

Why Les Kiss and Stuart Lancaster can lead Australia to glory

“Explain clearly how that’s not an achievement?”

It is an achievement. It is less of an achievement than he managed with Barcelona. You said that ”He has gotten better with age. By every measure.” He hasn’t. Doesn’t mean he isn’t still extremely good though!


”I thought you don’t care what certain managers did 10 years ago…”

are you really this incapable of understanding the context of what I’m saying? My point is that Gatland was a good coach ten years ago, and isn’t a good coach now. So what he did ten years ago is relevant to whether he was good ten years ago - that is pretty basic stuff.

On the other hand, what Les Kiss did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now, just as what Gatland did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now.


”So you haven’t watched even a minute of Super Rugby this year?”

I was replying to your comment, given you have the memory of a goldfish and are unable to scroll up, I’m remind you what you said:

“Ireland won a long over due slam in 2009. The last embers of a golden generation was kicked on by a handful of young new players and a new senior coach. Kiss was brought in as defence coach and was the reason they won it. They’d the best defence in the game at the time. He all but invented the choke tackle. Fittingly they backed it up in the next world cup in their 2011 pool match against… Australia. The instantly iconic image of Will Genia getting rag-dolled by Stephen Ferris.”
