Claude Lacaze, 33 sélections avec le XV de France, avec qui il a signé le premier Grand Chelem de l’histoire du rugby français en 1968, est décédé samedi à Nice, à l’âge de 85 ans, comme révélé par son neveu.

Frère de Pierre « Papillon » Lacaze (7 sélections en bleu), Claude Lacaze, né à Pontacq dans les Pyrénées-Atlantiques en 1940, avait été capitaine du XV de France dans les années 1960, qu’il avait notamment dirigé lors d’une tournée mémorable en 1968 en Nouvelle-Zélande et avec qui il avait aussi décroché deux victoires dans le Tournoi en 1962 et 1967.

Premier arrière à avoir marqué un essai sous le maillot de l’équipe de France, il avait inventé la combinaison où le numéro 15 venait s’intercaler dans la ligne d’attaque entre les deux centres.

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry deep dive - what has happened to the All Blacks’ scrum?

Alot of people have talked about how the AB's are making progress and getting closer to the Boks. Its also important to ask where the net gain has been. In 4 games under Razor the AB's attack failed dismally and struggled to score tries. The Boks outscored them comprehensively. Even so the All Blacks led for long periods in Joburg and Cape Town in 24. They lost each game by one score. They led all the way in Auckland and led for a quarter of the match in Wellington. Razors team always lost control in the final quarter of matches against the boks where the Boks bench completely overpowered them.

Under Rennie the AB's have scored plenty of tries, more than the Boks, they have rediscovered their attacking threat but they have regressed in other areas. Their scrum has totally capitulated, their lineout has been hammered, they are turning the ball over more at break down and in the tackle. They are making mistakes within their attacking template that has cost them and presented the Boks opportunities and so their defence has suffered with the Boks making hay in the last 3 games outscoring them in terms of tries and pts during that period. They have conceded 2 and 3 score leads in the last 3 matches heading into the final quarter. At Cape Town it was 16 points, Soweto 12 pts and in the US 15 pts. The Boks established control of Rennies team earlier and led for longer with AB's forced to chase games. They won the second half in Ellis Park comprehensively and the final quarters in the next 2 matches matches but little else illustrating the lack of control for the AB's.
