La quatrième et dernière journée de la phase de poules de Challenge Cup terminée, les seize clubs qualifiés (ou reversés) en huitièmes de finale de la Challenge sont connus. C’était déjà rapé avant ce week-end pour Montauban, le Racing 92 et Lyon.

Même accrochée sur sa pelouse par les Lions (20-20), l’USAP a composté son billet pour les huitièmes en tant que moins bon qualifié et ira à Montpellier, seul club à avoir fait un carton plein dans cette phase de poules.

Repêchées de Champions Cup, la Section paloise et La Rochelle se déplaceront respectivement à Parme et à Newcastle.

Les huitièmes de finale se joueront le week-end du 3, 4 et 5 avril.

The U20 Junior World Championship - Team of the tournament

Laughable

lets take the 2 or 3 Saffers out of this ridiculous team and then play the world champions against this side and the saffers under 20s will grind them into the dust.

Top 20 Gallagher PREM signings of the season: Part 2 - 10 to 1

Hang on… are we saying Barbeary is a better singing than Jac Morgan?

And if we're ranking signings Morgan is 11 years younger than Lawes. I’d argue a potential 10 years of Morgan is a much better signing than 2 years of Courtney.

All Blacks report card: All 32 Nations Championship players rated

4 tests against Boks in a row ? I know he killed it in the Bronco but even if he can I don’t think it’s a good idea my belief someone else has to stand up and start in at least 1 of those tests

Fissler Confidential: James O'Connor deal close; French points-machine in big demand

I agree, but he could have the same roles at the Reds. And have a mentor for the development of Lynagh, Gordon and Pritchard.

As a Reds fan, I would have liked him to come back to Brisbane.

All Black great Ma'a Nonu leaves Toulon for new role at South African club

Sorry, but I have to say it. He wasn't a very good asset in Toulon. Yellow after yellow he destroyed some really important matches all alone, and in less than 2 minutes on the pitch. A big disappointment…

Like more than half of the Moana Pacifika squad - which was never a true pacific Islander team in the sense of representing the islands. Closer to an Auckland team based on ethnicity. The wind up merchants prefer to ignore those inconvenient facts.

Strange way to think…he was born in NZ btw not that it matters anyhow don’t judge books by covers you must be a tad ignorant to make such presumption on I’m guessing his name you must not know much about NZ and the pacific

'Can only live off reputation for so long': Ex-Bok coach questions Eben Etzebeth's place in side

That's a fair point. Match fitness absolutely matters.

My only point is that returning "cold" isn't the only factor coaches consider. They also look at years of Test performance, how a player trains, experience under pressure, and whether they can execute the game plan.

I get that Q but I’m talking about coming in cold that’s not an insignificant amount of big dogs who have not been playing SFM 2 months on a 3 months ?

Joe Schmidt bows out on a high - but can the Wallabies escape 'the twilight zone'?

All of that seems fair enough, aside from the 10 criticism: Lynagh was injured so not up for selection this year + missed most of SR, Noah went to Japan league 2, maybe an argument for bringing him back in early, but we had Carter. Dono and Meredith (who looks decent enough). Definitely not a straightforward call. Edmed was an experiment that didn’t bear fruit, I’m happy to forgive him that one though, because he did what Cheik and Rennie didn’t do, which was consistently look to develop young 10s in the face of criticism (Rennie’s chopping and changing wasn’t great for Noah, and it was back to the future too often for Cheik, which hurt our development pathways e.g. Mack Mason, Jack Maddocks, and too often gambling on people out of position—more than Joe!). Tane is one specific failed experiment. l just wish we had a more scrupulous punditry when it comes to the recent past (your obvs not in the crosshairs here, it’s the Aussie media). TBH, I worry about the identity piece: feel it should be the salt on the meal, rather than the meal. The Reds are full of Aussie identity but they play the most hairpulling rugby at times and the identity seems to excuse this, while the Brums with less talent and less of an identity in the Australian mould over perform. To be optimistic, maybe it does look a little like the Ireland transition with Les coming in a bit like Farrell, seemingly more of a emotive, man motivator type than the technician Joe. What would have been fantastic and helped everything also was for RA not to burn bridges with Lancaster and be able to get him back and have the Tahs cooking, that is one big piece of the puzzle (the Tahs) that will make our national coach’s job a lot easier.

Report: Moana Pasifika's Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa tipped to make All Blacks squad

I hope STT’s inclusion is confirmed tomorrow. Among those 10 selected players, I’d really like to see several young, high-potential prospects. If it’s just to pick Blackadder and Kirifi, I don’t think it makes much sense. We already know what they can bring at international level, but we also know their limitations.

For the first three matches, the All Blacks need to test their depth and get a look at the next generation of All Blacks.
