Auteur d’un plaquage dangereux lors de la rencontre de Top 14 contre Clermont, l’ailier ou centre international de la Rochelle Teddy Thomas a été suspendu quatre semaines, a annoncé la Ligue nationale de rugby, jeudi 2 janvier.

Thomas, 31 ans et 28 sélections avec les Bleus, avait percuté le Clermontois Théo Giral au niveau du cou en sautant avant l’impact, lors de la courte victoire rochelaise (20-15) à Marcel-Deflandre, pour le compte de la 12e journée de Top 14. Thomas n’avait été sanctionné que d’un carton jaune pour ce geste.

Suspendu jusqu’au 27 janvier, le natif de Biarritz ratera donc notamment le choc contre Toulouse, son futur club, samedi pour la 14e journée du championnat, ainsi que la réception du Leinster en Champions Cup la semaine suivante.

Ailier de formation mais replacé au centre à plusieurs reprises cette saison, Teddy Thomas, qui n’a plus porté le maillot du XV de France depuis 2021, a marqué six essais en neuf rencontres disputées en championnat.

New law innovations will have unexpected impacts on Super Rugby Pacific

It will be interesting to see how the rucks adjust as the season goes on, to be fair it will be hard to tell as you might have only got half a dozen caterpillars in a normal Super game anyway? I was actually looking forward (statistically speaking) to seeing teams trying to adopt the tactic more (and I don’t mind the lotteryness madhater results of a kick too much) after the success it proved when used in Internationals. Now were unlikely to really see it. I had another thought while watching some of the footy along these lines too, how ref interpretations normally change through the season (they got more lenient of a few of last years changes as the season went on), after Nickers said that they shouldn’t be holding preseason games on hard grounds in Feb, that what if we purposefully introduced law interpretations progressively through the season, if outright law changes, so that the start is very fast and open, mimicking pre season, building towards more of a contest and collisions (where errors start to get expected), and then when its wet possibly it can favor scrums and defense again? Or you go the other way, towards the end of the season why a structure Crusaders has reigned king you introduce laws to keeping attacking in favor?

Bonus is they’d become adept at adapting, and come July or Internationals, will be better because dealing with them has become a real skill?
