Le suspense concernant le nouveau port d’attache de Louis Rees-Zammit prendra-t-il fin dans les prochaines heures ? C’est ce que laisse entendre le Telegraph, qui affirme que l’ancien ailier star du pays de Galles de 24 ans serait tout proche de s’engager avec le club anglais de Bristol, en Premiership.

Parmi les arguments des Bears, quatrièmes et demi-finalistes de leur championnat la saison passée, la possibilité de jouer la Champions Cup – ils sont dans la poule 4, celle de Bordeaux et Pau – mais aussi la proximité géographique avec le pays de Galles. Comptez en effet à peine plus d’une heure de voiture pour rallier la capitale galloise, Cardiff. Une donnée cruciale alors que le retour en sélection parait une suite logique pour l’ancien de Gloucester, dont la dernière cape avec les Diables Rouges remonte au quart de finale de Coupe du monde 2023 contre l’Argentine.

Bristol délocalisera un match de championnat au Principality Stadium de Cardiff

Autre argument de poids qui rapprocherait Rees-Zammit de la sixième ville d’Angleterre, le fait que Bristol délocalisera le 28 mars prochain la réception des Harlequins… au Principality Stadium de Cardiff. Le levier marketing pour remplir l’habituel antre du XV de Poireau serait alors tout trouvé.

Après une première partie de carrière explosive où il a notamment inscrit 14 essais en 32 sélections avec le pays de Galles, Louis Rees-Zammit avait choisi au début de l’année 2024 de mettre en pause le rugby à XV pour tenter sa chance au football américain et intégrer la très prestigieuse NFL.

Dix-mois plus tard, après avoir échoué à percer dans cette nouvelle discipline, le Gallois avait annoncé son retour imminent dans le rugby à XV. “Cela a été une grande expérience mais il est temps pour moi de rentrer à la maison” avait-il écrit sur son compte Instagram, promettant de donner rapidement des nouvelles pour la suite de son projet.

'It's about maximising our talent': How the Wallaroos are approaching success at a home World Cup

Always good to hear good news for the women since they often seem an afterthought to the rest of the rugby community.

6 tests doesn't seem like a lot in a year but 45 in 5 years and reaching 100 matches in their next one shows that this is a program that is being taken seriously and genuine investment is going into it.

Holland will start alongside Darry. I wouldn’t regard this as an uncertainty, it’s a must.

PT still struggles for consistency and is better coming off the bench.

If you look at NZ bazz, they are doing things in a similar vain where they play high risk footy, but i think they accept that errors will happen, just hopefully the positives outweigh the negatives. Converting 6/10 chances is better than 4/5 so to speak.

Haha not far off but him and Dmac used to alternate between 10 and 15 ( jersey number included) in u20s then some of his early games for Cantabs but not Saders as I remember injury meant he got the 10 jersey early killed it and the rest is history as they say

Makes sense in the big picture. DMac is our 15 who can paly 10. BB is there for insurance. Jacomb is not ready for a world cup. We have a year to get ready for RWC so RM in now learning the systems is vital. Our 2 tens for RWC are logically RM and RL. Lets not get hung up on having so many 10s on tour. BB will be vital on this tour as a 15 backup if DMac doesnt recover

You want the most promising 10 we have seen in years to move to 15 to accomodate a guy who was couldn’t nail the spot in 5 years of trying?

Possibavly one of the most backward steps Rennie could make and it would be a very unpopular choice. We finally see a future. It ain’t Mounga.

Two starting debuts and two timely returns for All Blacks against Bulls

It’s puzzling because 6-2 also fits the high intensity game the ABs want to play. The risk of not doing so is also very significant. How many teams have learnt the lesson and yet still no evolution by the ABs.

This is an awesome move. Maddi’s one of my favourite 7’s players and it’ll be great to see how she goes in the XV game, especially without the space she is used to. She’s got some great skills and I think she’ll be a star as much as she is in 7’s.

'Bit unfair': Bulls boss Johan Ackermann's vow before All Blacks clash

“kicked out”. Safas clutch so desperately to their string of victim pearls that excuses are always at the ready to explain away their own poor management decisions. SARU threatened their SANZAR partners for years that ‘because of viewership numbers’ that they were owed a bigger slice of the broadcasting rights pie. Aus and NZ quite rightly told them to FO, SANZAR was an equal partnership. Notwithstanding that each partner brought their own strengths and weaknesses, certainly a winning record completely escaped SA teams as part of their ‘package’. OFS were chopped, and early, despite being 1 of the more attractive SA teams to watch. Still the concentration of SA players from 5 teams to 4 had little discernible improvement on teams performance. In fact, SA teams were - by far - the least successful partner. Only 1 Champion SA club whereas all 3 origin Aus teams won and all 5 NZ teams have won. SA teams had a 22% win rate in NZ - so noone was turning up to watch them - whilst NZ teams had a 50% win rate in SA. When Covid pandemic hit the entire World and, NZ for 1 closed borders in and out, obviously this impacted an International competition and whilst a trans-Tasman lite-Super comp returned eventually, SARU used this opportunity to scream “we’ve been kicked out”. The reality was a temporary solution that would have soon corrected itself. Of course everyone knows the Safas innately clutch desperately to being a victim - ‘noone likes us, we dont care’ - and everyone outside of SA knows that the truth is found elsewhere. After only a few seasons of turning up to matches with teams full of development players in the URC/Champions Cup, those partner nations and their fans are already sick of the moaning and whinging that inherently accompanies all things Sth African. SARU are probably still kidding themselves that they will enter the 6Nations and that they will be “kicked out” of the Rugby Championship. What a bunch of big babies.
