New Zealand returned to the victory trail in the Rugby Championship after they sealed a 53-3 bonus-point triumph over Argentina in Hamilton on Saturday.

As the scoreline suggests, the All Blacks dominated proceedings for long periods and eventually scored seven tries, with Ethan de Groot, Caleb Clarke, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick and Beauden Barrett all crossing the whitewash.

Their other points came via four conversions and two penalties from Richie Mo’unga while Jordie Barrett also succeeded with a couple of conversions. For Argentina, Emiliano Boffelli slotted a penalty.

The match started with heavy rain pelting down but, despite the atrocious weather conditions, the All Blacks opted to keep the ball in hand and were rewarded for their attacking endeavour.

Argentina were on the back foot from the outset as from the kick off Tomas Lavanini knocked on and the All Blacks were soon on the attack inside Argentina’s 22. The visitors were penalised for straying offside on defence and Mo’unga made no mistake from the kicking tee.

New Zealand’s handling was outstanding in the wet weather and shortly afterwards De Groot crashed over for the opening try after gathering a well-timed pass from Aaron Smith. The All Blacks continued to dominate and midway through the half Clarke rounded off out wide after good work from Will Jordan, Jordie Barrett and Ioane in the build-up.

Argentina struggled to build momentum as they committed a plethora of handling errors but in the 32nd minute Boffelli scored their only points via a penalty after the All Blacks infringed on defence.

Despite that score, everything seemed to be going wrong for the visitors and they were reduced to 14 men in the 35th minute when Lavanini was yellow carded for not retreating 10 metres when making a tackle on Savea, who took a quick tap penalty inside Argentina’s 22.

Just before half-time, the All Blacks launched an attack from a scrum deep inside Argentina territory and Ioane cantered in under the posts after running onto a pass from David Havili.

Mo’unga added the extras which meant the hosts had their tails up with the score 24-3 in their favour at the interval.

The All Blacks had the better of the second half’s early exchanges and extended their lead when Mo’unga added another penalty in the 46th minute, after several Pumas were pinged for offside play. The visitors needed a response and they were soon camped inside New Zealand’s 22 but, despite hammering away at the home side’s try-line, they would not be rewarded.

In the 57th minute, Argentina launched a lineout drive on New Zealand’s five-metre line but the maul was halted illegally by Fletcher Newell, who was yellow carded for his indiscretion.

Strong All Blacks finish

Despite their numerical disadvantage, the All Blacks stayed true to their attacking roots and on the hour-mark Ioane made a superb line break before his progress was halted deep inside Argentina’s half. The ball was recycled quickly before full-back captain Sam Cane offloaded to full-back Barrett, who crossed for their fourth try.

New Zealand’s continued to dominate during the game’s latter stages and further tries from Savea and Retallick followed which meant they held a 46-3 lead.

The All Blacks did not take their foot off the pedal and their half century came up in injury time when Beauden Barrett went over for their seventh and final try after Savea launched an attack off the back of a scrum deep inside Argentina’s 22.

PSG attacking midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has given an interview to French football magazine So Foot during which he discussed his situation at the current league leaders.

“What I am going through at PSG is very complicated, I feel like I don’t exist. You have to understand how to live like that. One day, my life as a footballer will stop, there will be more difficult hurdles to overcome, like illness. But to learn how to longer exist when you felt that you existed with what you did before, it is hard… This suffering, I am taking it as an apprenticeship for the theatre of society where all comes to an end one day.”

Ireland second-row Iain Henderson revealed his disappointment not to be involved in his side’s historic tour of New Zealand in July.

Andy Farrell’s team became the first Northern Hemisphere side to win a Test series in New Zealand as they defeated the All Blacks 2-1, rocketing Ireland to the top of the world rankings.

Early injury

Henderson was set to play a role in the tour but suffered a knee injury early on and was sent back to Ireland, where he also underwent hand surgery whilst rehabbing his knee.

The second-row revealed that he was hugely proud of the team and that his favourite moment was the key try in the third Test.

“The Rob Herring try, at the end of that last game, was my probably favourite moment,” Henderson told SportsJOE.ie.

“I was devastated not to be involved, but it was class watching them doing it. I was there for a bit, at the start, and I saw what they wanted to do, and setting their stall out. It was really impressive. I was really disappointed not to be involved, but incredibly proud watching them, back home.”

URC awaits

Henderson shifts his attention to the beginning of the United Rugby Championship, where Ulster will be looking to improve their performance from last season after a late Manie Libbok conversion saw the Belfast side crash out in the semi-finals.

The 30-year-old is still in rehab but says his side is shaping up well in pre-season, and he is looking forward to them getting underway in the new campaign.

“I’ve been rehabbing from a couple of injuries this summer,” the Ulster captain said.

“So, slow and steady but we’re definitely getting there. From the touchline, where I’ve been doing my rehab, I’ve been watching to see how the rest of the team are getting on. They’re going great, performing really well and being put under some serious pressure from the coaches. Hopefully it will put us in good stead for the first game.”

Ulster begin their URC campaign against rivals Connacht at the Kingspan Stadium next weekend.

Speaking on the club’s official website, OGC Nice President Jean-Pierre Rivière made a statement on alleged racist abuse that Mario Balotelli suffered at the weekend in Dijon.

“We have taken the time to consult with different parties before making a statement on the subject. We find it deplorable that Mario had to suffer another incidence of racism. It is inexcusable, and we must unfortunately remind ourselves that this is not the first time that he has suffered this since he came to our league. He has all our support. As the coach of Dijon, Olivier Dall’Oglio said, you are not safe from “one or two morons”. That is also our view, and Mario did not want to say anything after the match… We are all convinced of the same thing, racism has no place in a football stadium, or anywhere.”

All Blacks star Will Jordan praised Wallaby rival Marika Koroibete, claiming that he’s the “benchmark” for wings in the world at the moment.

Koroibete has been in scintillating form for the Wallabies in the Rugby Championship, whether with ball in hand or on defence.

Jordan says he looks forward to facing the monstrous wing again and expects a “real challenge” from the Fijian-born superstar when the two sides clash for the first Test of the 2022 Bledisloe Cup in Melbourne on Thursday.

Powerful wing

“I’ve matched up with Marika a few times over the years and he’s a pretty punishing ball-runner and certainly goes out with all guns blazing,” Jordan said.

“He’s probably been setting the benchmark for wingers over the last two or three years so it’s always exciting playing against him – it’s a real challenge.”

Jordan broke down the Wallabies‘ new look back three, seeing threats on the wings with Koroibete and Tom Wright while also expecting danger from Andrew Kellaway, who starts at full-back.

“You’ve got the power of Marika on the left and Tom Wright with his speed and footwork and Kellaway was pretty strong in the three Tests against us last year so it’s a good balance of different games styles; a pretty strong unit,” he said.

Schmidt’s influence

Newly-appointed attack coach Joe Schmidt has already made his mark on the All Blacks; as Jordan suggested, the coach has been important for the structures of the side.

A focal point for the wing has been finding a way to influence the game without the ball.

“Over the three months or so it’s been a little bit tough getting the ball out wide and I’ve had some great chats with Joe Schmidt in particular in the last couple of week about how we can influence the game a bit more when the ball’s not coming our way,” said Jordan.

“It’s about having as much impact and influence off the ball as on it and then when you do get the opportunity with ball in hand … I’m getting pretty excited, under the roof so hopefully a bit of running footy.”

The Rugby Championship is wide open, with one point separating the top and bottom, meaning that any of the four teams can walk away with the title after the final two rounds.

The Bledisloe Cup occupies the final two rounds for the All Blacks and Wallabies, while the Springbok play against Los Pumas twice.

Le Parisien cite German sources to affirm that there is a total agreement in place to bring in Thomas Tuchel as PSG’s new manager, despite the fact that nothing has yet been signed.

PSG’s owner, Emir Al-Thani, is alleged to have chosen Tuchel from a long list presented to him in a recent meeting. The French outlet claims that Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been courting him, but that the Ligue 1 champions-to-be will nab the former Dortmund boss, who speaks very good French.

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

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

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.

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

Click Here: nrl jerseys 2020

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.”
