Bayonne tente d'arracher Danny Care aux Harlequins
Bayonne fait une tentative de dernière minute pour faire échouer la tentative des Harlequins de garder le vétéran demi de mêlée anglais Danny Care au Twickenham Stoop pour une autre saison.

Selon des informations recueillies par RugbyPass, Danny Care, qui a remporté sa 97e cape contre l’Italie le week-end dernier, est sur le point de signer un nouveau contrat d’un an avec les Quins, qui sont deuxièmes au classement de la Premiership.
Care, qui a fêté son 37e anniversaire le mois dernier, souhaite continuer à jouer au moins une saison de plus et est en passe de rejoindre le club restreint des centurions de l’Angleterre lorsqu’il jouera contre l’Irlande à Twickenham le 9 mars.
Danny Care, qui a remporté trois éditions du Tournoi des Six Nations, rejoindrait ainsi Jason Leonard, Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell, Courtney Lawes et Dan Cole dans le club des 100 sélections sous le maillot du XV de la Rose.
Né à Leeds, il s’est tourné vers le rugby après avoir été licencié à l’académie de Sheffield Wednesday et a rejoint les Quins en 2006, les aidant à remporter la Challenge Cup européenne en 2011 et deux couronnes de Premiership.
Le pilier des Quins a battu le record de sélections dans l’histoire du club en février dernier, à l’occasion de sa 351e apparition, et il est prêt à rester au club, sa famille s’étant installée dans le Surrey.
Mais l’intérêt de Bayonne semble sérieux car le club cherche à remplacer un autre vétéran, Maxime Machenaud, et veut un joueur de niveau international pour remplacer l’ancien joueur des Bleus.

Bayonne n’a pas chômé sur le marché des transferts en vue de la saison prochaine et a déjà fait une descente en Premiership pour recruter Mateo Carreras de Newcastle et le deuxième-ligne des Northampton Saints Alex Moon.
Ils peuvent désormais faire à Danny Care une offre financièrement attrayante pour l’inciter à réfléchir à son avenir et mettre des bâtons dans les roues des Quins qui souhaitent le garder, les obligeant à repenser rapidement leur stratégie de recrutement.

One tough SOB!

2 Go to commentsTruely great player. In social media and opinion pieces he was held up and flogged for the results. People wanted someone to crucify, and he was the captain. He was still an immense presence respected by his peers. His battles with Siya Kolisi belong up with with Collins vs Burger in my opinion. Unlucky to be carded in the final, but I don’t agree that his red card was the defining moment. Not when you look at the dominant performances of the Springboks (PSDT in particular.) I think Cane should be remembered for the spirit and physicality that is special to test rugby.

2 Go to commentsIf stormers aren’t available. Based on form and likely availability at the time of the wales Test, you’d think Masuku would be a no-brainer to start. But starting Jordan also makes sense having Masuku come off the bench to close out the game.

1 Go to commentsLet’s examine what might be irking the brainless E: Up until 20 years before this coming Julys tests: 16 games: 14 wins for SA; 1 win for Ire; 1 draw From 20 years until July’ tests Ireland V SA: 13 matches Ireland won 8; SA won 4; 1 draw Points scored Ireland 261; SA 189 Ave Winning Margin: Ireland 11 points; SA 4 points (away 3, home 6) Away win record: Ireland 33.33%; SA 25% Neutral matches 1: Ireland win RWC France 2023. Last SA win June 2016 (8 years ago) They boast 3 World cups in that period (they do boast). The above record is not good, probably not much better than theirs against NZ for same period. That’s why the dopey E is starting fights in his head. He will probably ship a yellow when things don’t go their way in the first test.

1 Go to commentsThis has the makings of a good match. That’s Leinster’s second team but its a good one (stronger than the teams in SA recently). Ulster are really turning a page. Ryan back is huge, and Keenan too. This could be a cracker.
1 Go to commentsThe Farrells are one of the great father and son combinations. Andy was an RL great, and had he played Union as his first sport, I would be sure he would have been avery significant forcewas in League. And Owen, a Union great, who had he played League, would could have been a great there too i all probability. I feel my attitude to Owen has mellowed as he has aged, and in the post Jones era, evolved and shown his full range of talents. He really is an all round player, and I have wold hope his move to France will be successful. He may even be the piece in the jigsaw that Racing need to rise to challenge Toulouse and LAR. He is ofc now approaching 33 years of age but should still have enough left to make a big contribution in France for at least2/3 years.

After Pollard got injured in 2022 with Elton sidelined on a path of self destruction Erasmus and Nienaber indicated that the other options in the country at the time were thin but that Jordan and Manie were the 2 they were looking at. In the end Frans steyn played flyhalf, Willemse slotted in there on the end of year with Libbok as back up. Jordan was right there in the thinking back then so expect him to take the Jersey either as the starter.

45 Go to commentsWell said Mils. It is a big boost at last having Fergus Burke back at 10 for the Crusaders. Had a great season last year as the article says. Mils is also right about captain Codie Taylor’s performance in his return to the Crusaders last week. He was all class.
