La Turquie a gagné cinq places d’un seul coup dans le classement mondial masculin World Rugby présenté par Capgemini pour atteindre la 88e place après avoir battu la Serbie pour la première fois en cinq tentatives à Pan?evo samedi 13 avril.

Après avoir perdu ses quatre matchs précédents par une moyenne de 20 points, la Turquie a fait mentir les pronostics et l’avantage du terrain face à la Serbie pour s’imposer 31-22.
Ce qui rend le résultat encore plus remarquable, c’est qu’il s’agit de la première victoire de la Turquie en 11 tests, une série qui remontait à octobre 2019.
Cette victoire historique dans un match entre les deux dernières équipes de la poule C valait 1,96 point. Avec sa note améliorée de 31,96, la Turquie a dépassé le Pakistan, Maurice, le Burkina Faso, l’Ouzbékistan et Andorre.
La Serbie, quant à elle, a vu sa position chuter de manière spectaculaire – de neuf places pour atteindre le 83e rang, ce qui est encore loin de son niveau le plus bas de tous les temps, à savoir le 91e.
Aucun autre changement dans le classement n’a résulté des résultats des autres matchs des compétitions de Rugby Europe ce week-end, le plus important étant la victoire de la Suisse sur l’Ukraine pour le titre du Rugby Europe Trophy.
La Suisse a terminé sa saison invaincue à Zurich en marquant 68 points sans riposte, les ailiers Cyril Fluckiger et Hugo Malyon réalisant tous deux un triplé.

Outre le match de la Turquie contre la Serbie, il y avait deux autres rencontres dans la Conférence : le Danemark a porté sa série de victoires contre la Norvège à neuf matchs consécutifs après une victoire 41-5 à Copenhague, tandis que l’Autriche s’est imposée 31-14 face à la Slovénie pour son dernier match de la compétition.
Le Danemark est désormais en tête de la poule A, avec un point d’avance sur la Lettonie, qu’il affrontera samedi 20 avril dans un match décisif pour le titre, tandis que l’Autriche s’est donné une chance de terminer vice-championne du Luxembourg, championne en titre.

Love watching
1 Go to commentsThe Melbourne Rebels lineout is a complete disaster so not surprisingly a kiwi coach of the Wallabies hires the worst lineout coach in the country and a foreigner to boot. No surprises whatsoever here…….

214 Go to commentsSux that homophobia is still a thing though. I wonder how many players who could have become legends never kept playing rugby because they felt unwelcome.
7 Go to commentsCrazy he’s only 28, feel like he’s been around forever - don’t mind the move, safe pair of hands and creates depth in a thin position for ABs. Hopefully aides Kemara’s growth also without thrusting too much responsibility on him
1 Go to commentsMen should show strength and be mean, but they should be able to show emotion to those close yo them in certain times, birth of your child, death of family, proud moment. This article is stupid
7 Go to commentsWhat a weak article…absolute drivel and clickbait, well done. Will stick to rugby365 thanks
7 Go to commentsHonest, discipline, humility… Priceless.
2 Go to commentsSo many excuses. No mention of the SA number 2 being taken out illegally in the 2nd minute. That act of foul play had a massive impact on the SA game. Face it, NZ play pretty dirty very regularly, and it’s only since 2016 they’ve been held to higher officiating standards via stricter officiating and TMO reviews. They deserved to have a man down. Sorry. Fix the yellow and red cards and NZ will win more RWCs. Plus, there WAS a knock on invalidating the one try, so it was NOT a try. Period. Here’s a Kleenex…
214 Go to commentsOverheard conversation between NZ and SA rugby fans everywhere: We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! We’re the greatest! No we’re the greatest! Ireland are arrogant! True but they beat you! We’re the greatest! No! we’re the greatest! Etc. etc, etc.

11 Go to comments“If they’d have beaten England, I still feel we would have been talking ‘is this the best team ever,’ ‘is this the best team that’s ever played in the Six Nations'” he said. “I still think they’re not quite that good. I actually don’t think they’re that good.” So Trimble is saying he doesn’t think this is the best 6N team of all time. He is silent on if it is the best Irish team of all time. Can’t disagree with him. Just another misrepresentative clickbait headline from the guys at RP.
33 Go to commentsWow, do we really still have to listen to all the excuses and “unfairness” of it all. Even blaming the bounce of an egg shaped ball for the loss. But the article is about context, so what about the Springboks having to play the other 5 teams in the top 6 and still beating a comparatively rested AB team on a very empty tank.
214 Go to comments“Teams would generally have three coaches below their head honcho; attack coach, defence coach, forwards coach” do they? I’m not sure what the NZ set up is tbh, but the other 4 sides top 5 sides all have very different structures to the one outlined in the article! As well as attack, defence, and forwards coaches, SA, Ireland, and France also have specialist scrum coaches. England have a specialist scrum coach too, but arguably don’t have a forwards coach, with that role taken on by Borthwick. SA also have a backs coach in addition to defence and attack, and Ireland and England have fitness coaches, with England also having two skills coaches.
3 Go to commentsWorst article I've read in a while. Trying to disguise a backhand slap as a compliment. The whole article is a bit weird and negative. I think South African men are emotional in general… think Clad le Clos’s father 2012 London Olympics.

33 Go to commentsIt was the strangest result ever. Etzebeth should've been yellow card for his cynical retiring move and a penalty try. Birth second half tries by the Allblacks were fantastic and the TMO operating outside the law to rule out the first try was egregious. Yes, the boks got the win but it was through some bizarre officiating that allowed them to sneak home against 14 men that dominated them. The quieter Bok supporters know and acknowledge the Allblacks were the better and dominant side. Justifying the win because they beat a pre world cup Allblacks selection is silly.

4 Go to commentsIt sounds like Andrew is trying to convince himself or has just lost all perspective. The team did look jaded for the last couple of games of the six nations but a few things were wrong there. Italy tackled their hearts out and made Ireland work hard for every try. Outsmarted by Scotland? Huh? Ireland got held up over the line about 4 times. Scotland did nothing on attack the whole game other than one breakaway near the end. A recharge and reset is needed which they hopefully will have had before the SA your.
