Toulon a confirmé ce jeudi 3 août l’arrivée d’un nouveau joker pour la Coupe du monde, l’expérimenté demi de mêlée Michael Young.

Young rejoint l’équipe en provenance des Newcastle Falcons et remplacera le Wallaby Jake Gordon, dont le séjour au club a été écourté en raison d’une « grave » commotion cérébrale. L’Anglais est également passé par Leicester et Bath.

Le directeur du rugby, Pierre Mignoni, a confirmé que le club avait obtenu la signature du joueur de 34 ans pour combler le vide laissé par Gordon. Young est un joueur clé des Newcastle Falcons depuis 2015, où il a notamment joué aux côtés de Jonny Wilkinson, ce qui en fait un atout précieux pour Toulon.

« Joueur club, Michael est un fin stratège et un bon finisseur. Vif, il est capable de peser autour des rucks. Il apportera, également, toute son expérience au groupe. Ayant été capitaine de Newcastle à plusieurs reprises et notamment en fin de saison dernière, en l’absence de Will Welch », a souligné Pierre Mignoni.

Il fera désormais partie de l’équipe pour toute la durée de la Coupe du monde, qui se déroulera du 8 septembre au 28 octobre.

La décision de faire appel à Young a été prise après que Gordon a dû quitter le club à la suite d’une blessure contractée avant son départ pour la France. Gordon avait été initialement recruté comme joker pour la Coupe du monde, mais en raison de la gravité de sa commotion cérébrale, il n’a pas pu continuer avec l’équipe après avoir échoué à la visite médicale.

La commotion cérébrale de Gordon s’est produite lors d’un match contre les Tonga le 12 juillet, alors qu’il représentait l’Australie A.

The five performers of the week from Super Rugby Pacific round seven

“Moana Pasifika have been “lights out” since beating the Blues 27-21 on May 17, 2025. They have conceded 461 points in nine games, with the opposition reaching a half-century five times. Coach Tana Umaga has been assigned a specific defensive role in the All Blacks. Should these numbers raise concern for the national team?”

Why would it? Isn't Moana Pacifica about developing Tongan and Samoan players?

'Gutted' Mark McCall reacts as Saracens PREM season takes massive knock

Sarries were brilliant in attack but fairly limited in attack and shows how the PREM has evolved in the last 5 years.

I think Sarries won the front 5 battle but Saints clearly won the rest and were worthy winners in the end.

Why Rieko Ioane is struggling to match Barrett's X-factor impact for Leinster

Actually, the more I have thought about this over the weekend, the RWC has always been won by an outstanding and experienced coaching team. Only the 1997 & 2019 teams probably didn’t meet that requirement but had the two best pre-tournament camps in history, which helped them close the gaps.

Whilst there are some really good teams who are capable of beating each other, at present, the experience of SA & FRA are probably a collective step ahead at this moment in time.

The Six Nations deep dive: How France has the North playing Super Rugby

Did you watch Sarries vs Saints at Tottenham Stadium? What a brilliant game and brilliant venue.

If ever you needed a reminder of how the PREM has changed in recent years, this game was it. Sarries defence was outstanding but Saints attack just unlocked them and 5 years ago that would have been a Sarries win, whereas Saints attack just edged this contest.

'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.

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.

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
