La Champions Cup 2026 connait son épilogue samedi au stade San Mamés avec pour l’Union Bordeaux-Bègles la possibilité de poursuivre l’hégémonie française qui dure depuis 2021 dans la compétition. Le pilier gauche Jefferson Poirot revient pour aider son équipe à faire le back-to-back dans l’enceinte basque où le demi de mêlée Maxime Lucu sera un peu le régional de l’étape.

Il n’aura pas la chance de croiser le pilier vétéran français Rabah Slimani, pas choisi pour le staff du Leinster pour cette finale. Pas plus que l’ouvreur du XV du Trègle James Lowe, trop juste et l’ouvreur Sam Prendergast, en méforme.

??????? ????? 🔵👊
Here is your Leinster team to face Union Bordeaux Bègles in the 2025/26 @ChampionsCup final tomorrow 🔥

Let’s go, lads! 💙

World Rugby announce new crackdown on two dangerous tackles

The Fijians play rugby as it should be played . Hard , fast and expansive . Most referees cruel them .

The mantra is ‘ Rugby is a contest for the ball ‘ . That apparently only applies on tacked. Ball . Scrums go with the feed generally . Line outs throws are not straight . Mauls favour the side in possession .

Awful in particular Holland. Very conservative in the backline not having Tavatavanawai and Jacomb on the bench.

Let’s hope Dmac doesn’t throw away a hat trick of second half tries again this time.

What am I missing with Holland non selection???? Is it scrum power having Barrett there? Maybe Holland has been told to bulk up?

In fact, they seem wed to the catching-backwards concept despite it’s obvious failings. Fihaki and Taumoefolau are good under the high ball and in addition to the flawed concept, current personnel seem to lack the skills.

Not much trust in Jacomb - but then he didn’t command the 10 jersey at the Chiefs and to get serious gametime, has had to go to the Highlanders.

So if he can’t be trusted by Chiefs coaches, guess AB coaches maybe have similiar concerns?

Perplexed by the exclusion of Narawa.

He reminds me of Cory Jane: not an out-and-out speedster, but a highly skilled, ball-playing winger who thrives on deception, vision, and footballing intelligence. He offers something different from the pure pace merchants, yet can be just as effective.

Interesting team to say the least, not sure when Beauden B last playing more than 20 minutes at Super/Test level, so interesting selection - guess Moorby is on the bench to cover him if he runs out of gas.

No fan of non tackling wingers, so shake my head around Carter’s selection, though at least he is a great attacker though just know that the Wallabies will be looking at isolating him in defence and getting him one on one defending.

Not sure the team trajectory is right despite all the injuries. Jacomb is not getting any development with this set-up. Rennie seems to be following the same path as others with the BB fandom. Carter and Moorby have not stepped up to elite level and could be exposed again. Taumoefolau should be in there and Fihaki has more upside than the two chosen IMO. Tosi has struggled at set piece against quality internationals but Lomax has been off the pace. Wallabies have been firing pretty well but this will likely be a closely run match-up.

Has the balance between attack and defence become too lopsided?

I and the many others could not disagree more. The score lines are reflective of mainly the ability of the more dominate team, on the day. Forward tries by crash n bash, The illegal mauls, where players are ahead of the ball carrier are an easy score. The one area where the offence team is king though is the Maul !The defensive capabilities to stop a maul are nil, it used to be that all players were not offside as long as they had contact with another player. This was mandatory whether or not you were at the sides or in fact anywhere in the meelay. Now you have to retreat on the refs call to the back, you can’t even tackle the ball carrier, as you then get penalized for collapsing the maul. ALL the advantage is with the offensive side, Mauls are a freeby ! The structure that favors forward participation is predicable and boring. Backs have had to become forwards ! Line speed has totally killed off, running play. To qualify the offside laws have not or seldom been altered since rugby went professional. No compensation has been made for these elite athletes of today, meaning LESS time and SPACE to find a gap. Our game is compressed. We see all games where the pass is made and the receiver getting cleaned out. What does this tell us ? As coaches you have designed a bar the door screen of players, we have pods of forwards, hitting up with intent yet hardly making the gain line, time and time again. with phase play in the thirties. Backs are now used as forwards to hit it up and hopefully retain possession from the tackled ball or ruck. If you diagnosed our game with mathematicians and engineers, they would come up with two causes. Either you have less players, or you enlarge the field of play. Of course this would not be entertained, so the obvious solution is to add a metre to all the current off side laws. WHY to give a little time and space for the offensive team to attack, that’s right the opposite to what we have just read, but for both sides this would allow some freedom for backs to be backs, less kicking, less forward interference, we may even get our game back as it would be more enjoyable to play, to follow, to ref, fans could actually view tactics in motion as against the current predictability. Compression is negative, a little separation freedom.
