L'Australie crucifiée en Italie... par les siens

Décidément, les Australiens vont finir par avoir de mauvais souvenirs de l’Italie. Trois ans après leur première défaite en 19 tests à Florence (28-27), les Wallabies se sont inclinés une fois encore face à l’Italie, sur le score de 26 à 19. En pleine tourmente, l’Australie a une nouvelle fois sombré.

Tout allait presque bien jusqu’à la 50e où les hommes de Joe Shmidt menaient encore 12-19. Mais le carton jaune attribuée à Joseph Sua’ali’i à la 57e a été dévastateur. Coup sur coup les Italiens ont profité de leur supériorité numérique avec deux essais en quatre minutes.

Le premier, peut-être le plus cruel, a été inscrit par le demi d’ouverture Louis Lynagh, fils de l’ancien international Michael (Wallabies N°642, 72 sélections entre 1984 et 1995) et qui évolue sous les couleurs du Benetton Rugby Trévise. Le second, par Monty Ioane, lui aussi d’origine australienne, quatre minutes plus tard.

Avant cela, l’ouvreur toulonnais Paolo Garbisi avait assuré au pied avec 16 points, ne laissant pratiquement rien passer.

Côté australien, trois essais ont bien été marqués – par Matt Faessler (21e), Angus Bell (32e) et Carter Gordon (51e), de retour à XV après son passage au XIII post-Mondial 2023 – mais les Wallabies ont à nouveau affiché un visage brouillon et inoffensif. Ils concèdent ainsi une cinquième défaite en six matchs.

À quelques mois du tirage au sort de la Coupe du Monde 2027, qu’ils organiseront à domicile, les hommes de Joe Schmidt s’éloignent dangereusement du Top 6 mondial, synonyme de statut de tête de série. Battus par l’Angleterre le week-end précédent (25-7), ils devront encore affronter l’Irlande le 15 novembre, puis la France une semaine plus tard. Le fond n’est peut-être pas encore atteint.

It'll take a brave individual to coach these All Blacks

This is an over-dramatization of the AB HC role IMO. I agree something has been “off” since before the 2019 RWC - even the last Lion’s series and it has not all been down to “improvements” by other teams (although that is definitely a reality). I think Rassie (again) shows how a strong coach manages both the locker room and the public perceptions by earning public and team trust through his strength of character, team innovations and improvement, decisiveness, fairness and owning mistakes. A strong NZ coach should have nothing to fear coming in to this environment. Much as I had hopes for Razor after Hanson II and Foster, I think Kirk’s decision is the right one as it was obvious to many of us, the “trajectory” was not there. Same mistakes, confusion under pressure, lack of progress and worst, capitulation. The key is not who will take on the role, but who is selected for the role. I think the leading candidates are JJ, Rennie, Mitchell and somewhere a role for Schmidt and/or Wayne Smith. Razor’s biggest “failure” was his hesitancy, persisting with failing selections, being positive at the cost of being real and the aura he gave off of not knowing where the “fixes” were. The job came too soon for him but he can learn from it and grow. Hopefully, the new guy is bold and strong and has a good team around him because the other big failure of Razor’s tenure was his coaching team was also not ready for the big leagues.

This reminds of the Wallabies and the road down for them. This firing was harsh, rash and not thought through. Just like NZRU jumped the gun with Foster, even announcing his replacement before the biggest tournament in rugby, the World Cup. There is a lot of speculation as to why he was fired or let go, none substantiated facts. For those who go through life with open eyes and follow the logical path, it will be clear from where the rot comes from. The NZRU board itself. The Union itself. Players and coaches change, but results don't. From the man in charge down is rotten. The AB's is still 2nd in the rankings list, still manage to beat the best teams. Maybe not as flashy as in the past, but definitely trending upwards. All of that momentum is now lost…AGAIN. Same mistakes from the board. The NZRU is busy making the AB's a joke now. The fans follow like blind bats and gobble up all the excuses for a decade now. The media report what the board wants people to know, not the facts. They are not very transparent. After Super Rugby, the Wallabies crashed and became almost none existent, a shadow of its former self, running through coaches and players. The same is starting to happen to the AB's. NZRU destroy everything they touch. When will the public address the real problem at hand? When the AB's are as bad as Wales and the Wallabies? Just when the AB's start to trend upwards, they shoot themselves in the foot once again. Firing a coach, before the biggest series NZ have had in many many years, the biggest rivalry. Before the Nation's Cup and the WC. 3 of arguably the biggest competitions in world rugby right now for 2026 and 2027. Fans can drop all expectations for winning any of the 3 competitions. New coach, new strategies, new everything. It takes time to settle a group of players. Even if the same crop of players gets used(which aren't good enough), it won't amount to sudden magical success. Winning percentages isn't everything, but filling the trophy cabinet is. Sack the board, not the coaches. The players and fans also need to realise that.
