Dans le deuxième match de la poule A, France (5e) et Kenya (9e) était en quête de leur première victoire de la journée.

Après une longue touche manquée par le Kenya sur sa propre introduction, la France récupérait le ballon et étirait l’attaque jusqu’au couloir gauche au bout duquel Simon Désert pouvait aplatir. Après un autre ballon récupéré, cette fois c’est Stephen Parez-Edo Martin qui inscrivait le 106e essai de sa carrière juste après. Puis, suivant une course tranquille, il enchaînait avec son 107e juste avant la pause.

Peu performant en défense (20% contre 91%), le Kenya était dans l’incapacité de stopper la machine bleue. Il fallait donc faire parler les jambes de Patrick Odongo Okong’o, trop rapides pour l’ailier du RC Vannes Enzo Benmegal pour débloquer leur compteur juste avant le break (19-7).

Dès la reprise, pour son entrée en jeu, Grégoire Arfeuil montrait qu’il était frais dans sa course (26-7). Pour autant, le Kenya avait de bonnes possibilités, mais la défense de la France ne lâchait rien jusqu’à ce qu’une énième perte de balle du Kenya profite à la France. Après une récupération opportuniste, Celian Pouzelgues se lançait dans une longue course de 95 mètres et prenait son temps pour déposer le ballon, 33-7.

« Très déçu après le premier match contre la Grande-Bretagne », confiait Stephen Parez-Edo Martin après la rencontre. « On veut montrer au monde qu’on est capable de jouer un bon rugby et là on est très content d’avoir gagné contre le Kenya car c’est une grosse équipe.

« Pour gagner on doit avoir le ballon, c’est pour ça que la relance est toujours cruciale. Après ça, on doit améliorer notre défense pour être plus fort et on a réussi à le faire sur ce match-là. »

France 7 disputera son troisième et dernier match de la poule A contre l’Argentine à 21h20, heure de Paris, pour tenter de décrocher sa place en quart de finale du tournoi de Vancouver.

'A lot has been said... some of it unfortunate'

There go the media , feeling entitled again. Over familiar. No pressure for them. Emotionally charged before a game. Thats where the players have too be. Apology from director, we move on. A TV stunt gone wrong.

Jordie is def a option I am still on the Ardie train as the populace support cannot be underestimated imo and he always has good Korero with the refs never petulant

I agree with you. I don’t see Taylor in the conversation to be captain, as I think he won’t necessarily be a starter with the new coaching staff. My pick is Aumua to be number 2.

Jordie Barrett could be captain. It would be a smart move by Rennie to transfer the captaincy to Scott Barrett’s brother, and it would probably reduce speculation compared to if it were Ardie Savea.

Is Segner playing himself into contention ? Lakai I believe is the best loosie in the country but Anton gets stuck in and man is he good at lineout time really cut down on the penalties and hands much improved but does he have the punch?

Would it be wrong of me to say that Cody did not show the form LY ( was still good) or so far this year to be a shoo in as the starting 2? cannot deny the ball carry abilities of Samisoni Asafa and Bell at present with the first 2 in their “ golden” years in terms of age experience

Why Dave Rennie is lobbying hard for eligibility changes to bring Brodie Retallick back

The whole conversation kicked off earlier with these details from someone else on this forum and it was in reference to allowing players playing overseas and would they have been beneficial to the ABs in the last 2 years and Frizelles name was dropped as part of the 5 names

And yes you're right it doesn't greatly matter the finals done!

Why Dave Rennie is lobbying hard for eligibility changes to bring Brodie Retallick back

I don’t really know what you think you mean by that. Do you think there was just a hole where he should have been and SA made easy meters? Do you think he was missing tackles he should have been making? Do you think he was doing nothing instead? Or are you simply referring to how poor the coaching strategy was?

From memory his lack of tackles was entirely unremarkable. It didn’t seem like he was doing anything badly or that he wasn’t in areas he should have been, or would have been better off in if the coaches had chosen it. I don’t think it makes any sense to think anything about it if that’s the case, it’s just how chance works out, like not having a scrum till the 60th minute in the loss to Argentina. Though I’m sure Foster could/should have thought of something.

If you keep kicking the ball back to the opposition so they can catch it and score a try against you, how long does it take to figure out this is a losing tactic ?

Sorry but when I read things like “Rugby is struggling” followed up with points I just suspect these are outdated views from only read the news headlines.

There are plenty of good stories as well and rugby in the contexts you raise is actually doing really well to stay competitive with other sports.

Chiefs vs Force takes: Chiefs fall short of statement, fullback McKenzie

Just call him “Slow Roe”. He takes so long to pass the ball he could bake a cake and still have time to put on the icing.

He is one of the major reasons why the Chiefs and Waikato haven’t been able to win the big games when they matter most because he takes too long to pass and his box kicks are slow and inaccurate. For the past 2 years he has been diabolical in the NPC in particular and cost Waikato so many games.

Chiefs vs Force takes: Chiefs fall short of statement, fullback McKenzie

Mehhh not a very accurate summary of the game by saying the Chiefs’ attack looked “uninventive” when they were busting open the Force regularly for the whole game. They targeted Beale and Bridge’s channel, Tupaea ran through, around and over the entire Force team, and Taumoefolau did a couple of excellent chip and chase kicks.

The Chiefs just lacked polish in the end and could’ve easily racked up a 50+ point scoreline if they finished off all of their chances. Compare that to the Hurricanes’ insanely great performance against the Reds where by comparison, every pass went to hand, every important ruck was secured, and the bounce of the ball went their way every single time.
