The United Rugby Championship continues on Friday as three matches take place, including the clash between Glasgow Warriors and Cardiff.

Zebre Parma v Sharks

Zebre Parma head coach Fabio Roselli has made two alterations to his starting line-up for their United Rugby Championship encounter against the Sharks at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi on Friday.

After suffering a narrow defeat to Leinster in last week’s tournament opener, the Italian outfit have kept faith with the majority of their players for this fixture against the Sharks, who are playing their first game of the season.

Both changes are in the front-row with Luca Bigi and Ion Neculai coming in to replace Jacques du Toit and Matteo Nocera at hooker and tighthead prop respectively.

Meanwhile, Sharks head coach Sean Everitt has named a strong run-on side for their first United Rugby Championship match of the season with Boeta Chamberlain named to start at fly-half.

Curwin Bosch and Lionel Cronje are both sidelined through injury which means Fred Zeilinga will be the back fly-half while Springbok scrum-half Grant Williams is Chamberlain’s halback partner.

Aphelele Fassi is the starting fly-half and is joined in the back three by Werner Kok and Thaakir Abrahams while Rohan Janse van Rensburg is set to make his debut for the Durban-based side at outside centre with Ben Tapuai starting alongside him in midfield.

The Sharks will be captained by tighthead prop Thomas du Toit, who is packs down in the front-row alongside Kerron van Vuuren (hooker) and fellow Springbok fron-row Ntuthuko Mchunu, while Reniel Hugo and Gerbrandt Grobler start in the engine room.

Phepsi Buthelezi will start at number eight with Dylan Richardson and James Venter joining him in the back-row.

The teams:

Zebre: 15 Richard Kriel, 14 Pierre Bruno, 13 Erich Cronjé, 12 Enrico Lucchin, 11 Simone Gesi, 10 Tiff Eden, 9 Chris Cook, 8 Taina Fox-Matamua, 7 MJ Pelser, 6 Luca Andreani, 5 Leonard Krumov, 4 David Sisi (c), 3 Ion Neculai, 2 Luca Bigi, 1 Paolo Buonfiglio
Replacements: 16 Giampietro Ribaldi, 17 Juan Pitinari, 18 Muhamed Hasa, 19 Joshua Furno, 20 Gabriele Venditti, 21 Alessandro Fusco, 22 Franco Smith Jr, 23 Jacopo Trulla

Sharks: 15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Werner Kok, 13 Rohan Janse van Rensburg, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Thaakir Abrahams, 10 Boeta Chamberlain, 9 Grant Williams, 8 Phepsi Buthelezi, 7 Dylan Richardson, 6 James Venter, 5 Reniel Hugo, 4 Gerbrandt Grobler, 3 Thomas du Toit (c), 2 Kerron van Vurren, 1 Ntuthuko Mchunu
Replacements: 16 Dan Jooste, 17 Dian Bleuler, 18 Carlu Sadie, 19 Justin Basson, 20 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 21 Cameron Wright, 22 Fred Zeilinga, 23 Marnus Potgieter

Glasgow Warriors v Cardiff

A Glasgow Warriors team showing four changes from last weekend will take to the field at Scotstoun on Friday night, as Franco Smith and company welcome Cardiff for their 2022/23 United Rugby Championship home opener.

The match will also see the Warrior Nation roar on their team from the Scotstoun stands for the first time in almost six months, with the club’s last home fixture resulting in a 40-12 victory over Zebre Parma back on Friday, April 1.

Two of the four changes can be found in the front-row, as Zander Fagerson – a try-scorer off the bench last time out – and Fraser Brown come in to start alongside Jamie Bhatti.

Scott Cummings is another to be promoted from the replacements bench to start as he joins Richie Gray in the engine room.

Rory Darge is selected to start at openside flank, a move that sees Matt Fagerson shift to the blindside in a loose trio completed by number eight Jack Dempsey.

The half-backs are unchanged from last weekend’s season opener in Treviso, meaning George Horne and Tom Jordan – fresh from his debut last weekend – continue in the nine and 10 jerseys.

Stafford McDowall and Sione Tuipulotu pair up in the centres, the latter jointly leading the Warriors for defenders beaten in Round One.

A similarly unchanged back three sees Sebastian Cancelliere and Kyle Steyn named on the wings, with Cole Forbes continuing in his role at full-back.

There’s a potential debut in store for South African second-rower JP du Preez after the summer arrival from Sale Sharks was named amongst the replacements by Smith and the coaching team.

He will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow off-season signings Lucio Sordoni and Sintu Manjezi, both of whom retain their places in the matchday 23 by rotating to the bench.

George Turner and Oli Kebble complete the front-row replacements, whilst Thomas Gordon also continues amongst the bench in a six-two split of forwards and backs.

Ali Price is once again named in the number 22 shirt, with Argentinian fly-half Domingo Miotti recovering from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of Round One to take his place in the matchday squad.

Meanwhile, James Ratti makes a return to the starting line-up for Cardiff’s first away game of the season.

The number eight, who toured South Africa with Wales over the summer, is one of only three changes made as the Blue and Blacks look to build on the opening day win over Munster at Cardiff Arms Park.

Number eight Ratti comes in for Taulupe Faletau, who’s game time is being managed, and joins James Botham and Thomas Young in the back-row, with the pack’s front five remaining unchanged.

With Liam Williams ruled out following shoulder surgery, Matthew Morgan wears the number 15 jersey, slotting alongside Aled Summerhill and Josh Adams in the back three, with centre Mason Grady – replacing Rey Lee-Lo – the final change made to the starting XV.

Cardiff are yet to taste league victory at Scotstoun but will be buoyed by their 32-28 victory, the last time the sides met, while Glasgow have since fallen to five consecutive defeats.

Keiron Assiratti and Brad Thyer are both drafted onto the bench, while the likes of Lopeti Timani, Rhys Priestland and Uilisi Halaholo will be looking to pick up where they left off last week, having impressed as replacements against Munster.

The teams:

Glasgow: 15 Cole Forbes, 14 Sebastian Cancelliere, 13 Sione Tuipulotu, 12 Stafford McDowall, 11 Kyle Steyn (c), 10 Tom Jordan, 9 George Horne, 8 Jack Dempsey, 7 Rory Darge, 6 Matt Fagerson, 5 Richie Gray, 4 Scott Cummings, 3 Zander Fagerson, 2 Fraser Brown, 1 Jamie Bhatti
Replacements: 16 George Turner, 17 Oli Kebble, 18 Lucio Sordoni, 19 JP du Preez, 20 Sintu Manjezi, 21 Thomas Gordon, 22 Ali Price, 23 Domingo Miotti

Cardiff: 15 Matthew Morgan, 14 Aled Summerhill, 13 Mason Grady, 12 Max Llewellyn, 11 Josh Adams, 10 Jarrod Evans, 9 Tomos Williams, 8 James Ratti, 7 Thomas Young, 6 James Botham, 5 Seb Davies, 4 Josh Turnbull (c), 3 Dillon Lewis, 2 Kristian Dacey, 1 Rhys Carré
Replacements: 16 Liam Belcher, 17 Brad Thyer, 18 Keiron Assiratti, 19 Matthew Screech, 20 Lopeti Timani, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 Rhys Priestland, 23 Uilisi Halaholo

Leinster v Benetton

There are a number of changes to the Leinster 23 that accounted for Zebre Parma last weekend on the road with Leo Cullen able to call on a number of the Irish players that won a first ever series in New Zealand during the summer.

Garry Ringrose is also back to the starting XV and will captain the side. He will be partnered in the centre by Robbie Henshaw.

Elsewhere in the backs Jimmy O’Brien, Jordan Larmour and Dave Kearney are the back three selected by Cullen, with Luke McGrath and Ciarán Frawley in the half backs.

In the pack, Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Michael Alaalatoa are selected in the front-row, while James Ryan partners South African lock Jason Jenkins for the first time behind them.

Finally, it’s a completely new back-row for Cullen this week, with Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris selected to start.

On the bench Cian Healy is in line to win his 250th cap if introduced.

For Benetton side, Ignacio Mendy starts at full-back after a solid game in round one and is joined by Mattia Bellini and debutant Onisi Ratave on the wings.

Marco Zanon and Joaquin Riera start in the centres outside half-back pairing Giacomo Da Re and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne.

Skipper Michele Lamaro starts on the side of the scrum with Giovanni Pettinelli and Toa Halafihi in the loose trio.

Scott Scrafton and Niccolo Cannone start in the second-row while Simone Ferrari, Giacomo Nicotera and Ivan Nemer make up the front-row.

On the bench, Gianmarco Lucchesi, Federico Zani are front-row replacements, with Filippo Alongi, Carl Wegner and potential debutant Henry Time-Stowers the remaining forward replacements.

Tommaso Menoncello and Rativa Tavuyara join Manfredi Albanese as the backline substitutes.

The teams:

Leinster: 15 Jimmy O’Brien, 14 Jordan Larmour, 13 Garry Ringrose (c), 12 Robbie Henshaw, 11 Dave Kearney, 10 Ciarán Frawley, 9 Luke McGrath, 8 Caelan Doris, 7 Josh van der Flier, 6 Ryan Baird, 5 James Ryan, 4 Jason Jenkins, 3 Michael Ala’alatoa, 2 Dan Sheehan, 1 Andrew Porter
Replacements: 16 Rónan Kelleher, 17 Ed Byrne, 18 Cian Healy, 19 Ross Molony, 20 Will Connors, 21 Cormac Foley, 22 Ross Byrne, 23 Charlie Ngatai

Super agent Mino Raiola has offered Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to Ligue 1 champions PSG, according to France Football.

President Al Khelaifi is interested in the AC Milan player, but Sporting Director Antero Henrique prefers a move for Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid. Oblak has a release clause worth €100m, but PSG are confident they will both be able to negotiate a price down, and potentially include Gonçalo Guedes in any eventual deal.

L’Équipe have reported that two meetings have occurred in London recently between Sporting Director Antero Henrique and Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’ representatives, but PSG are not currently optimistic that a deal will come to fruition.

Michael Cheika has transformed Argentina since taking over the head coaching role earlier in the year, making Los Pumas a force to be reckoned with.

Argentina kicked on in the Rugby Championship from their July series win against Scotland and, in the process, claimed a record win against Australia and their first win against the All Blacks on New Zealand soil.

The team showed immense improvement throughout and will only continue to develop. The fact that most of their players are based overseas and playing in high-quality club competition proved its worth, with Los Pumas boasting growing depth in their squad.

Promising tournament

Despite the impressive campaign, the side could have claimed more wins, particularly in Round One against Australia, where poor discipline in the second half threw the game away and similarly against South Africa in Buenos Aires.

“There were two (other) games that we could have won, against Australia (also at home) and last week (at home against South Africa). I’m not happy with the results, but as a team we are improving,” Cheika told ESPN.

“It’s difficult to say this because I don’t want to give the impression that we are only going to compete and nothing else. We need to win, we played well and we were able to do it.

“In general we have increased the level of our game, but it’s time to believe that we can win more often against the best teams in the world. It’s very important to take these learnings into November (the autumn internationals).”

Better decision-making

Cheika does not believe the 38-21 loss against the Springboks in Durban this weekend accurately reflects his team’s efforts but wants his players to make better decisions in key moments.

“I think the score is not a reflection of the match,” he said. “The lesson we take from this game is that it is very important to make good decisions at important moments.”

The Australian-born coach did not like how referee Damon Murphy officiated the game and noted inconsistencies with decisions from earlier in the competition.

“For us it is not very clear, because in the first three games of the Rugby Championship we were among the least penalised teams,” he said.

“At one point the referee tells Julian (Montoya) he has empathy for him. We don’t need empathy, we need respect. It is very difficult to win games when decisions are made like this.”

Speaking in a press conference ahead of today’s huge match against St Étienne, Fabinho was asked about his future.

“Maybe… I have already talked about what I want to do. Sometimes I speak too much about that, and it gives the impression that that is what I am concentrated on. We have an important match, that is all that matters.”

The United Rugby Championship heads into the third round of the 2022/2023 season with some exciting match-ups ahead.

Planet Rugby breaks down five talking points to consider ahead of this weekend’s action.

Bulls need improvement

Jake White’s men held a 15-0 lead against Edinburgh last time out and stumbled to a 33-31 win courtesy of Morne Steyn’s boot and a missed penalty by Edinburgh’s Henry Immelman that could have stolen the game.

While the Bulls did perform well in Round One, White will be looking for his side to command the game better when holding a lead as the tournament’s top teams will take advantage of situations like the one in Round Two.

White has called on Springboks Kurt-Lee Arendse and Canan Moodie to start the clash against Connacht, while Johan Goosen starts for the first time since returning from injury. Game management is crucial for the Bulls to become the complete package.

Big Irish derby

Last season Ulster completed a rare double over their Irish rivals, winning both clashes in URC I. Dan McFarland’s men have flown out of the blocks this season and look like a team that could challenge for the title.

However, Leinster’s success and history make them a team to always be concerned about, and Leo Cullen will be looking to prove that on Friday. Johnny Sexton returns on the bench and will once again be key for the province in their hopes to improve on last season’s fortunes, where they were left empty-handed after falling short in the URC and Champions Cup.

The clash will be a solid measuring stick for Ulster as to whether they are in a position to push for the URC II title and will no doubt be a classic Irish derby. As we saw last season, every point counts in this tightly-contested league, and the winners of the game will send a statement to all other teams.

Munster set to find their feet

Although the tournament is still in its early stages, the Irish province are already on the back foot after suffering back-to-back defeats in their first two fixtures against Cardiff and the Dragons.

Both those matches were away from home and despite suffering losses on both occasions, it was somewhat surprising as Munster are amongst the traditional powerhouses of the European game and they were expected to win those matches. While the Cardiff result was a mild surprise, their defeat against the Dragons rocked the competition as it was the first time since 2015 that the Welsh outfit managed to beat the Ulstermen.

Those defeats have put pressure on Ulster head coach Graeme Rowntree, who is in his first season since taking over the coaching reins from Johann van Graan, and the former England front-row will expect an improved effort from his troops when they host Zebre Parma at Musgrave Park on Saturday. With international stars like captain Peter O’Mahony, Malakai Fekitoa and Tadhg Beirne in their ranks, Munster should be victorious but they face a tough challenge against the Italian outfit, who depite losing their two previous games in the competition, picked up double bonus points in both of those defeats against Leinster and the Sharks.

Taulupe Faletau returning for Cardiff

There was plenty of fanfare amongst Cardiff supporters when Faletau joined them in the off season and he showed what all the fuss was about with an excellent performance in the Welsh region’s tournament opener against Munster.

The Wales international delivered a man-of-the-match performance as Cardiff kicked off their campaign with a 20-13 triumph at Cardiff Arms Park. Faletau made an immediate impact at his new club, finishing the match with 66 metres gained which included one clean break and a couple of offloads while he also caught the eye with his breakdown work as Cardiff got their campaign off to a fantastic start.

However, he did not feature in their next game, against Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun last Friday as Cardiff director of rugby Dai Young was forced to rest the 31-year-old due to a Welsh Rugby Union directive which instruct their regions’ coaches to leave out Wales internationals at certain times during the season. Faletau’s influence was missed against the Warriors and it came as no surprise that his team suffered a 52-24 defeat to their Scottish opponents.

Cardiff have seven matches before Wales get their end-of-year Test programme underway against the All Blacks on November 5 and Faletau is limited to playing in five matches for his region. He returns to action against the Lions on Friday and will be hoping to continue where he left off in his previous game against Munster.

Return of Springboks

The Sharks have opted to rest their heavyweight Springboks, while the Bulls and Stormers have decided to make use of their premier talent.

The electric duo of Moodie and Arendse return for the Bulls to set up an exciting back-three alongside new signing and fellow Bok Sbu Nkosi. White will be hoping the trio can gel and light up the competition in broken play.

Meanwhile, John Dobson has handed a debut to Springbok Joseph Dweba whilst starting Deon Fourie and Damian Willemse, who recently signed a mega five-year contract extension at the club, at inside centre.

Dweba should add improvements to the Stormers’ scrummaging but must get his lineout throwing right to make a full impact on Saturday. Fourie will be prowling around the breakdowns as he did in URC I, where he finished with the most turnover won in the competition.

Willemse has had a brilliant Test season and returns to 12 where he has excelled every time he plays there. It will be interesting to see the new triple playmaker axis in full flight with Willemse, Manie Libbok, and newly signed fullback Clayton Bloemmetjies expected to pull the strings in the attacking structures.

PSG have been in ongoing discussions with the entourage of 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen full-back Wendell for several weeks, according to L’Équipe.

The Bundesliga side has recently failed to qualify for next season’s edition of the Champions’ League and could be willing to sell the player for around €20m.

Les Parisiens, who have decided to sell Layvin Kurzawa, are in the market for a left-back and are at the moment being forced to make two series’ of plans for the upcoming window: one where they are faced by transfer window restrictions if an FFP sanction falls and another where they are not.

Although Alex Sandro (Juventus) and Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham) are top-end targets, Wendell would represent a financially prudent move.

England and Bristol Bears have been dealt a blow after Harry Randall was ruled out of the end-of-year internationals due to a hamstring injury.

The busy scrum-half has undergone surgery on the torn muscle and has subsequently been ruled out for up to four months, according to his club side.

Randall suffered the injury during Bristol Bears‘ recent Premiership defeat to Exeter Chiefs at Ashton Gate, with the visitors running out 50-14 winners.

This surgery news compounds that result and also gives England coach Eddie Jones a selection decision as he looks to build on a series win over Australia.

England chances suffer a setback

Although the Bristol scrum-half was not included in a 36-player squad named by Jones for a recent training camp, he remains in the frame for Test action.

Jones instead picked Ben Youngs, Jack van Poortvliet and Alex Mitchell as his number nine options, with Danny Care once again out in the cold for England.

“Harry had surgery on a hamstring tear yesterday and will be out for between three and four months,” said Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam on Wednesday.

“He did it tackling Jack Nowell and got in an awkward position. It is a loss for us, but time for Andy (Uren) and Tom (Whiteley) to step up.

“We are not looking elsewhere at the moment. We lost Harry one week last year, then Andy the next and then Tom and then two others. I hope it is not the same.

“It is frustrating for us, but all the more so for Harry. Some of the hamstring came off the bone, and he had surgery to repair it.

“I feel for him, but I have always said injuries are an opportunity to improve, and he will come back fighting fit.”

England begin their Autumn Nations Series against Argentina on November 6 and then face Japan, New Zealand and South Africa over the following weekends.

Meanwhile, Bristol are currently preparing for their next Premiership game, against Gloucester, as they look to bounce back from that reversal against Exeter.

Bans for Mako Vunipola and Jacob Umaga

Meanwhile, England prop Mako Vunipola has been handed a three-week ban after he was red carded in Saracens’ Premiership victory over Newcastle Falcons.

While this is a blow for his club, England will be relieved that the suspension doesn’t run into their Test schedule as he is available for their year-end opener.

The 70-cap international was sent-off for dangerous play in a ruck or maul at Kingston Park last weekend and will miss league ties against Bath and Exeter.

He will also be absent for the Premiership Rugby Cup clash with London Irish, but the ban could be reduced by one game if he completes a World Rugby course.

Wasps full-back Jacob Umaga has also received a three-week ban after he was dismissed against Northampton Saints in their Premiership meeting last week.

He was charged with tackling, charging, pulling or grasping the jumper (Northampton wing Courtnall Skosan) in the air, contrary to World Rugby law 9.17.

Umaga is currently injured, and the RFU said that the fixtures he will miss will be determined following confirmation from Wasps when he’s fit to play again.

After coming up through the youth ranks of Saint Étienne, French youth international goalkeeper Anthony Maisonnial has departed Les Verts to join Swiss Pro League team FC Sion on a free transfer at the end of his current contract.  

Maisonnial, 20, made his Ligue 1 debut for Saint Etienne in a 2-1 away loss at Lorient back in December of 2016, and promptly followed that up with another appearance in the 0-0 home draw against Nancy, which would prove to be his first, last and only Ligue 1 clean sheet in what would be his final Ligue 1 game for the club.

Despite his lack of first team appearances, with the formidable Stephane Ruffier in front of him in the pecking order, Maisonnial developed somewhat of a reputation for being a highly rated young goalkeeper, making 15 appearances for the French youth teams, ranging from the U16’s to the U20 side, with former Rennes and Nottingham Forest manager Philippe Montanier giving his debut at U20 level.

Les Verts will be due a small amount of compensation from the Swiss outfit, owing to the fact that he is just 20.

All Blacks head coach Ian Foster is looking to maximise the opportunities offered for growth and development in their end-of-year tour.

Due to Covid-19 disruptions, it is only the second tour to the northern hemisphere in this World Cup cycle and is very important as there is less than a year to go until the global showpiece.

Japan is the first challenge for the All Blacks on October 29, and Foster acknowledged the Brave Blossoms’ immense progress and looks forward to the challenge ahead.

Treasure the tour

“We’ve got to treasure this tour and the opportunities it presents,” Foster told the All Blacks’ official website.

“If you go back to the last World Cup, they won a couple of big games, and they played really well against France and Australia A recently, so they’re well-prepared.

“We know they’re a growing nation, and this is a Test they’re going to target.

“So, nothing changes. Everyone we play is going to be ready to play us, and they [Japan] certainly will be.”

Wales follows the Japan Test as the All Blacks travel to Cardiff on November 5 before playing Scotland a week later on November 13.

Twickenham clash

However, the most anticipated clash of the tour comes against England at Twickenham on November 20, a Test Foster is looking forward to.

“It’s on the horizon, and playing England at Twickenham is always special and the fact we haven’t played them since 2019 in a game I remember well is going to make it even more important,” he said.

Foster said the tour’s goal was to grow team performance, which involved giving players as many opportunities as possible.

The return of Anton Lienert-Brown has given the coach more options in the centres while Roger Tuivasa-Sheck added some versatility to his game after playing two games on the wing for Auckland in the NPC.

“It’s given him a greater insight into the game. So, it’s going to help him,” the head coach added.

The All Blacks began to find their feet at the back end of the Rugby Championship but will be eager to string some wins together and build solid form going into the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

OGC Nice have made contact for 20-year-old Monaco forward Irvin Cardona, according to RMC.

Click Here: Liverpool soccer tracksuit

He had a great season on loan with Cercle Brugge this season, and is waiting to know Monaco’s position on his future, with his current deal running until 2021.

He wants playing time guarantees and will meet with Monaco reps in the coming days.

Nîmes are also interested.
