Un Argentin de plus dans les rangs des Azzurri

C’est une manne aussi ancienne que précieuse pour le rugby italien. Les Azzurri ont l’habitude d’aller chercher en Argentine les joueurs qu’ils n’ont pas, profitant des ascendances transalpines de nombreux Sud-Américains.

Le talonneur Pablo Dimcheff est le dernier natif de Buenos Aires à rejoindre la sélection entraînée par son compatriote Gonzalo Quesada. Le joueur de Colomiers est appelé pour la première fois en vue de la tournée de l’Italie en Afrique du Sud et en Namibie au mois de juillet.

Toutes les stats et les données

Capé cinq fois avec les Pumitas (Argentine U20) en 2019, Dimcheff répond à un des trois critères qui permettent de changer de nationalité sportive : il peut représenter l’Italie, car ses grands-parents maternels sont originaires de Calabre.

Il aurait pu retrouver deux autres Argentins sous les couleurs italiennes. Le centre Juan Ignacio Brex, futur joueur de Toulon, et le pilier Ivan Nemer. Mais Quesada a décidé de leur accorder du repos et ne les a pas convoqués.

S’il est capé durant la tournée dans le sud de l’Afrique, Pablo Dimcheff rejoindra la longue liste des internationaux italiens nés sur le sol argentin. Au premier rang de laquelle on retrouve Martín Castrogiovanni, Sergio Parisse, Diego Dominguez, Gonzalo Canale ou encore Santiago Dellapè.

Springboks' dominance of the world rankings comes under increased threat

There is that yes, but to grow the game, you can't leave those teams down and out. In any sport, if a team loses, no one will be interested and no new talent will join the game. What is the aim? To grow the sport. Will any sport grow if you leave it unattended? What incentive is there for players and countries to play rugby? To spend money on rugby to grow the sport in your country? Especially if you never can compete against the top teams, not even the top 50 teams? There is no money for the players to play the sport as any other job will provide food, but rugby won't. Those players will stay amateur because they have to work a day job, play for their club and then their countries too, which don't pay much as the sport is not big enough. Those athletes leave sport or go to another sport. Chuck them out, dismiss them, give them no crumbs. Yeah, that's a way to grow any sport isn't it? By ignoring them, you think rugby will grow in those countries? They can't afford proper rugby fields, never mind to pay players to be professional athletes. Why would they encourage a sport that is costly to maintain with no incentive? Who runs a business at a loss? Why even bother to try and grow the game is smaller countries? Especially with that attitude of amateur players? Ever stop to think why they are so average? Why they are still amateur? Unlike the bigger nations, they can't afford to pay professional salaries. Those athletes will always stay amateur because they can't afford to make rugby their daily lives. They have to work to survive. They can't improve themselves on a rigorous training schedule like the top stars. The stars have one job. Rugby. They have 2 to 3 jobs, club rugby, national rugby and then their daily grind jobs, all to survive. Your thinking is wrong about this. It isn't enough to just show someone the sport. That isn't growth. It's lazy thinking.
