Sipili Falatea s'engage deux ans de plus avec l'UBB

Il y a 127 jours

L’Union Bordeaux-Bègles a réglé la question de son pilier droit. En fin de contrat en juin 2026, Sipili Falatea (28 ans) a prolongé son bail de deux ans en Gironde, soit jusqu’en 2028.

Originaire de Wallis-et-Futuna, le droitier polynésien a fini sa formation à Colomiers avant de débuter en professionnel à Clermont. Il avait ensuite rejoint en 2022 l’UBB où évoluait son neveu et centre international Yoram Moefana.

En quatre saisons en Gironde, marquées notamment par une grave blessure au genou (rupture des ligaments croisés) en janvier 2024, il a disputé 46 matches et était titulaire lors de la finale de Champions Cup remportée face à Northampton (28-20) en mai dernier.

Ses performances à Clermont et avec l’UBB lui ont ouvert les portes de l’équipe de France en juillet 2021 et Falatea compte aujourd’hui 14 sélections, dont une lors de la Coupe du monde 2023 en France contre l’Uruguay (27-12).

Ben Kay: 'I’d put my money on Ollie Chessum being the next England captain.'

Man, you have no insight at all. Telling someone they're an inferior version of another player is an insult as old as the hills.

That sort of classless trash talk is the opposite of respectful and proved an incredibly stupid thing to do long term. Inspired the All Blacks to their best performance for years when it really matters, with Cane doing his talking with his rugby not a gutter mouth. Yet another quarter final exit and you haven't beaten us since.

John Mitchell: 'I think we are the standard bearers'

This will be the difficult part. He inherited a pretty good side. Now possibly half the team will need to be replaced by the next WC. It’s managing that and improving the team at the same time that will not be easy.

Should England stick or twist with Borthwick? RWC27 clock cannot be used as an excuse

SB won one premiership playing his brand of Rugby but then the other teams found them out, fronted up physically and Tigers game plan was exposed. Under Parling they are a much more attractive version of the Tigers. When the current coaching team were appointed my heart sank because they are inexperienced at test level, they bring nothing fresh and the approach they bring is inflexible. They are completely out of their depth (Blackett apart) I agree what on earth is Wigglesworth doing coaching defence? Think the results speak for themselves. Some of their selections have been unfathomable and lacking imagination. Freeman is not a 13 at the highest level. He is a world class winger. Steward same; just not the same standard as Ramos, Kinghorn and Keenan (when he is fit).Furbank has to come into the equation. Marcus is a 10 not a 15 but he needs a strong 12 to play around. It is way too soon for Pollock to be in the side and he is increasingly a distraction. We need a proper 8 as well. Last night I watched Lawrence, Ojomoh et al take a good Saracens side apart. Why can’t England play like Bath Bristol and Northampton? The answer is because SB doesn’t believe in that style or maybe doesn’t understand how to implement it. The time for change is now not after the RWC. Most England fans would forgive getting beaten in South Africa and Argentina over the summer if there was a new regime in place and signs of change. Fans pay well over the odds to watch England play boring ineffective rugby. I can’t see it happening, but boycotting home games is probably the only message the RFU would understand. The list of names available all represent an improvement. I would also add Rob Baxter; not a fan of Exeter but he always speaks a lot of sense. All said, it’s depressing to think that we are saddled not only with a poor coaching team, but also with the RFU none of whom should be allowed anywhere near the national team(s). Sweeny et al are the real culprits in all of this.

So what? How many business do this, why are you so bothered about it. Britain has become hostile to business and innovation. Brexit has everything to do with it pal, yet I bet you did not bat an eyelid while our own industries were shut down and shipped to Europe.

England the only team not represented in official Six Nations team of the Championship

I agree Ntamack is a wonderful player and is injury prone. It will be fantastic if he keeps well in future, but if he doesn’t, Dupont still plays best with a compatible scrum half, so at the moment, if Ntamack is unavailable, that means Ramos. Hopefully we’ll see Dupont, Ntamack and Ramos all playing together soon in the Champions Cup.

Haha lame comeback Bressie :p

That consistency that I’m talking about though is key. If the ref doesn’t give South Africa that last game and the Wallabies had one more trick to pull out of their sleeve in the first Bled after playing SA, then it’s a three game all TRC and near on perfect.

Highlanders vs Hurricanes takes: Roigard owns Fakatava, Canes silence doubters

10 is not the problem here. Millar is fine and Jacombs will add to him. The team suffer from bad handling and support lines and now the ruck work is falling away. They have been a poor team for a very long time with lower expectations every season. Selections have been incorrect for a while, why did they leave the remaining specialist lock on the bench Tai Cribb? Letting Hastie leave etc.

Last night the players did not hold up the mana of the jersey in a home game. Unforgivable as this the first time ever despite other bad defeats in the past. Those defeats they really showed fight but were outclassed, this game they just trying to make it the final whistle avoiding injury.

Why England may be in better shape to win the 2027 Rugby World Cup than France

If they persist with the idea of Tommy Freeman at 13, which I feel they should, then he will always shoulder some of the load up the middle of the field. Probably he’s better suited to it than Seb Atkinson.

Which returns us to the question of why Atkinson would be in the starting XV. ‘Work rate and tip on passes’ is not enough. If you look at the profile of the best 12’s around the world now, most are big powerful beasts - DDA and Esterhuizen for the Boks, Jordie or Tupaea or poss Tavatavanawai this season for the ABs, Bundee and McCloskey in Ireland etc..

Perhaps not, you could be right. The Canes attack has looked sharp against weaker opposition though, we’ll see how they do against the best defenses in the competition.

So long as his selecting has improved, Blues fans should be happy. Good at recognising talent and building a squad, but would often select a less than ideal team to field.
