La rencontre entre Montpellier et Toulon, programmée samedi 15 février pour le compte de la 16e journée de Top 14, a été délocalisée à Béziers en raison du mauvais état de la pelouse du GGL Stadium, a annoncé dimanche le club héraultais.

«?Grâce à l’aide précieuse de l’AS Béziers Hérault, la rencontre est délocalisée au stade Raoul-Barrière de Béziers. Suite à l’expertise d’un prestataire indépendant mandaté par la LNR (Ligue nationale de rugby, ndlr), l’état de la pelouse du GGL Stadium a été, en l’état, jugé impraticable?», a justifié le MHR dans un communiqué publié dimanche.

En conséquence, la LNR a décidé de faire jouer le match entre les Montpelliérains et les Toulonnais sur la pelouse du club biterrois, qui évolue en Pro D2. La prochaine rencontre de Montpellier à domicile face à Castres, prévue le samedi 1er mars, pourrait subir le même sort.

Le MHR n’a plus joué devant son public depuis le 11 janvier et le rendez-vous en Challenge Cup face à la franchise sud-africaine des Lions. Le club du président Mohed Altrad, en conflit avec le maire de Montpellier Michaël Delafosse, évolue au complexe Du Manoir, dont la Métropole de Montpellier est propriétaire. Montpellier occupe la 8e place du Top 14 avant d’aborder les onze ultimes journées de championnat.

The coaching conundrum part one: Is there a crisis Down Under?

Thanks JW for clarifying your point and totally agree. The ABs are still trying to find their mojo” - that spark of power that binds and defines them. Man the Boks certainly found theirs in Wellington! But I think it cannot be far off for ABs - my comment about two coaches was a bit glib. The key point for me is that they need first a coach or coaches that can unlock that power and for me that starts at getting the set piece right and especially the scrum and second a coach that can simplify the game plans. I am fortified in this view by NBs comment that most of the ABs tries come from the scrum or lineout - this is the structured power game we have been seeing all year. But it cannot work while the scrum is backpeddling. That has to be fixed ASAP if Robertson is going to stick to this formula. I also think it is too late in the cycle to reverse course and revert to a game based on speed and continuity. The second is just as important - keep it simple! Complex movements that require 196 cm 144 kg props to run around like 95kg flankers is never going to work over a sustained period. The 2024 Blues showed what a powerful yet simple formula can do. The 2025 Blues, with Beauden at 10 tried to be more expansive / complicated - and struggled for most of the season.

I also think that the split bench needs to reflect the game they “want” to play not follow some rote formula. For example the ABs impact bench has the biggest front row in the World with two props 195cm / 140 kg plus. But that bulk cannot succeed without the right power based second row (7, 4, 5, 6). That bulk becomes a disadvantage if they don’t have a rock solid base behind them - as both Boks showed at Eden Park and the English in London. Fresh powerful legs need to come on with them - thats why we need a 6-2 bench. And teams with this split can have players focused only on 40 minutes max of super high intensity play. Hence Robertson needs to design his team to accord with these basic physics.
