Le pilier de La Rochelle Uini Atonio a été appelé dans la liste des 42 joueurs pour préparer le match contre le Japon après le forfait du Clermontois Régis Montagne a annoncé la FFR ce 4 novembre.

Uini Atonio (34 ans, 62 sélections), cadre des Bleus depuis plusieurs années, avait initialement été préservé en raison d’une blessure à un mollet lors du match de Top 14 contre Montpellier le 26 octobre. Il n’avait pas pris part à la première semaine du rassemblement des Bleus et avait été remplacé par Régis Montagne.

Mais le Clermontois, laissé à la disposition de son club pour la neuvième journée de Top 14, a finalement dû déclarer forfait, a indiqué la fédération dans un communiqué. Titulaire contre l’Union Bordeaux-Bègles, il était sorti à la 47e minute.

Le sélectionneur Fabien Galthié doit aussi se passer du Toulousain Joshua Brennan, touché au plancher orbital dimanche à Bayonne en Top 14. Lui aussi avait été appelé la semaine passée à Marcoussis et avait été laissé à la disposition de son club en Top 14.

Il est remplacé par le troisième ligne clermontois Killian Tixeront.

La France affronte le Japon samedi 9 novembre, avant de défier la Nouvelle-Zélande et l’Argentine, à chaque fois au stade de France.

Italy inadvertently throw England a Six Nations hospital pass

It will come down to (as it always does) to who controls the gain line. Scotland need to stop the English forwards at the gain line and suck then into a war of attrition up front. If the English forwards are able to mix in the back line and punch holes then it will be game over.

'I’m severely worried': Ex-players sound alarm over looming Irish crisis

Hmmm think somehow the Saffa influence is to blame. RG must have negatively impacted the way the locks in Ireland play. Nienaber has totally ruined their catching and passing skills, with his defence system, and clearly Franco was not supposed to get the Glasgow Warriors humming like a finely tuned V12

The times are changing, and some Six Nations teams may be left behind

The main problem is that on this thread we are trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. Rugby union developed as distinct from rugby league. The difference - rugby league opted for guaranteed tackle ball and continuous phase play. Rugby union was based on a stop start game with stanzas of flowing exciting moves by smaller faster players bookended by forward tussles for possession between bigger players. The obsession with continuous play has brought the hybrid (long before the current use) into play. Backs started to look more like forwards because they were expected to compete at the tackle and breakdowns completely different from what the original game looked like. Now here’s the dilemma. Scrum lineout ruck and maul, tackling kicking handling the ball. The seven pillars of rugby union. We want to retain our “World in Union” essence with the strong forward influence on the game but now we expect 125kg props to scrum like tractors and run around like scrum halves. And that in a nutshell is the problem. While you expect huge scrums and ball in play time to be both yardsticks, you are going to have to have big benches. You simply can’t have it both ways. And BTW talking about player safety when I was 19 I was playing at Stellenbosch at a then respectable (for a fly half) 160lbs against guys ( especially in Koshuis rugby) who were 100 lbs heavier than me - and I played 80 minutes. You just learned to stay out of their way. In Today’s game there is no such thing and not defending your channel is a cardinal sin no matter how unequal the task. When we hybridised with union in semi guaranteed tackle ball the writing was on the wall.

What you are talking about is on field tactics - not taking into account that the on field tactics are the immediate expression of a long laid carefully planned strategy. Like the “Art of War” says (not in these words) the better the strategy the less you have to adapt tactics.

What I would like to know is; in a game that developed as a stop start game with exciting flowing moves in between physical confrontations, and was eagerly watched and revered by millions, why has it become a yardstick of excellence for how long it takes to through 20 phases to gain 10 meters?

It is axiomatic that the countries with the most talented athletes will have greater depth. Limiting the bench because not all nations produce lots of high quality players is like saying lets have three runners in a relay so those who only have three top athletes can compete.

Highlanders confirm Fabian Holland will be sidelined until August

That’s a real shame for Holland - and I suppose it will also mean the end of the Tupou Vaa'i at 6 experiment, at least in the short term. With Barret, Vaa’i and Tuipuloto likely to be the 3 locks for the July window.

Warped logic there. Pollock, Curry and Itoje are not bigger because they sit on the bench. In the RWC final Fourie and Kwagga were not bigger than so called power wingers. If you watch NH rugby you will know this and you will know that this supposed lack of endurance comment about T14 teams is ignorance.

My issue is: that we keep tinkering with the game, the rules - not liking all the consequences of the changes, making more changes.

When does it end and when does rugby evolve into something that is barely recognizable?

Thinking outside the box, and just throwing it out there; could we limit the number of box kicks by the 9, outside his own 22, to say five per game? That’s a random number that would need thought but it might force some greater tactical thought.

Opening salvos will dictate Australian Super Rugby Pacific fortunes

The Reds are probably weakest in the back three these days (seems crazy looking at their quality over the years.. Ioane, Latham, Tune, Big Dell, Rocket Rod etc.).

Jock Campbell is a very solid player, but not in the league of those mentioned. Daugunu is a gun - hopefully he can stay injury free. Hopefully Tim Ryan has bulked up over the off season (without losing his pace). Lachy Anderson and Heremaia Murray are also handy - but none except Daugunu are in the A-list of Aussie rugby. Missing an out and out finisher like Jorgo.

'I’m severely worried': Ex-players sound alarm over looming Irish crisis

Ireland have had an absolute pinnicle…Once in a generation, players all come thru with some other nationalities thrown into the mix. They should settle back into their 5-7 ranking shortly. England has far better depth.

And You! I blame you. Me to no doubt. Its my fault they are dropping down to below Italy. I did mention they were dropping before the past WC so I probably Jinxed them. Plus my Doll of Sexton still has pins in it. Should I remove them??? Yeah Nah

RugbyPass' Top 50 Players for Super Rugby Pacific 2026: 50-41

Good to see those 2 Crusader/All Black props already listed in top 50. The powerhouse Tamaiti Williams and Fletcher Newell, the scrummaging maestro. Those two are weapons and give us a real advantage. Then you have a prop as good as George Bower coming on or starting if need be. George has proved his detractors wrong.
