Un joueur des Saracens file en Pro D2
La Pro D2 est décidément un championnat attractif. Après George North à Provence Rugby et Courtney Lawes à Brive, c’est au tour de Béziers de se tourner vers le championnat anglais en vue de la saison prochaine.

Le club héraultais, en lice pour monter en Top 14 en juin prochain, a annoncé ce mardi 12 mars la signature de Christian Judge, en provenance des Saracens, pour les deux prochaines saison, avec une 3e année en option.

Le pilier droit anglais (31 ans, 1,83 m, 120 kg) est une bonne pioche sur le papier. Il a notamment deux titres de champion d’Angleterre et une Coupe d’Europe à son palmarès. Il a rejoint les “Sarries” en 2018, puis a évolué à Bath durant deux ans, à Worcester pendant une saison, avant de revenir dans le club londonien en 2022.
Il a disputé 19 rencontres l’an dernier (dont 9 comme titulaire). Il a notamment joué les neuf dernières minutes de la finale de Premiership 2023, contribuant au succès des siens sur Sale 35-25.
L’ASBH est actuellement deuxième de Pro D2, à égalité avec Vannes, et donc toujours en lice pour rejoindre le Top 14.
Rappelons les conditions d’accès au Top 14 : les deux premiers de la phase régulière du championnat de Pro D2 sont qualifiés directement pour la phase finale. Ils affrontent en demi-finale les vainqueurs de deux matchs de barrage opposant le 3e au 6e et le 4e au 5e. Le vainqueur de la finale est sacré champion de France de Pro D2, et gagne son ticket pour l’élite.

Il reste alors une épreuve de rattrapage pour le vice-champion : un match de barrage contre le 13e de Top 14, le battu filant au purgatoire tandis que le gagnant jouera en Top 14.

Starts to be overdone and oversold this systematic SA narrative…which nevertheless has the merit in this case to recognise blatant refereeing mistakes in their favor
2 Go to commentsNice article. Shades of Steinbeck. They can win the final if they take the game seriously; but only if they take it seriously.
2 Go to commentsWhat a sad way to end a glittering career. Somebody should tell him to delete his social media accounts and face the consequences of what he's done. Then he should slip away quietly into obscurity. This isn't likely to happen, something tells me he'll be back in The Sun / Daily Mail sooner rather than later.
3 Go to commentsguys its fine! he understands why he did what he did and has taken accountability for it; why should he have to be accountable to a court? after all he did was abuse people in person - its not as if he was engaging in _online_ abuse!

6 Go to commentsCan someone fill me in please, I've read a number of Ben Smith articles now and it seems he's got something again South Africa? Surely, this game was over and done with 7 months ago. Can't we have something a bit more interesting and relevant, or is this the calibre of journalist on this site?

Guys like Josh Hathaway and Kane James will play for Wales in the end. And they’ll be fsr better players for having played in the Gallagher Premiership, than they ever would have been had they stayed mired in the shambles that is Welsh rugby.
3 Go to commentsThis is all being blown totally out of proportion. First of all, since half the Irish team isn’t Irish - it’s very likely that none of the Irish players said that at all and, thus, we’re not being arrogant. Second, since half the Irish team is Kiwi - it’s very likely the Kiwi players were predicting a NZ SA World Cup final. Which they got spot on. Good on them!
163 Go to commentsAha. An Irishman with logic! Follow the flow: - Ireland peaks with a >80% win record between 2020 and 2023. And then… - crashes out of another QF at the WC; - Beat a poor French Team; - Beat 6N wooden spoonists Italy; - Play shite against eventual wooden spoonists Wales; - Lose against the most boring, “the worst English team ever” , a team widely regarded as unable to attack; - scrape through against Scotland. This article, No - Trimble, is on the money! Except for one glaring statement: _The Springboks have a few aces in the hole in this debate being the reigning world champions and official world number ones_ There is no debate, boys and girls. There it is. In black and white. “Reigning World Champions and OFFICIAL world number ones”. Come July, the overrated Andy Farrell and this overhyped team are going to enter into a world of hurt.

30 Go to commentsNot sure the Bulls need another average utility back in their ranks. Chamberlain has been ok for the Sharks but is by no means an X-Factor player. Bulls bought several utility backs which they barely use. A typical example would be Henry Immelman who plays mostly Fullback. The Bulls however have rarely played him this year and he has played wing or centre. Bulls want to build depth but seems like they have too many surplus players
1 Go to commentsABs lost against a side playing without a hooker - The guy playing, had one shoulder. Line outs were a gimme for the ABs, and the last 8 minutes 14 played 14 against a team that had been smashed 3 weeks in a row… Yet with all that possession, with all that territory, with all the advantages they actually had, especially in the last 8 minutes, they couldn’t buy a point. Those last 8 minutes determined if they outplayed the Boks or not. History will show that the Boks completely outplayed the ABs, especially in those last 8 minutes, the business end of any rugby match

1 Go to commentsI am really looking forward to Leigh Halfpenny playing his first Super rugby game for the Crusaders Playing a long side his former Welsh and Scarlets team mate Johnny McNicoll.Johnny has been playing great, back in a Crusaders jersey.The attack has strengthened big time. Also looking forward to David Havili at 10. David is a class act, it also allows Dallas McLeod to remain at 12. A good thing.
