England vs NZ Rugby: Concussion, Lenny Woodard: “Molti Lions tra i giocatori che hanno fatto causa alle federazioni”

Concussion, Lenny Woodard: “Molti Lions tra i giocatori che hanno fatto causa alle federazioni”

Continua ad aumentare il numero di giocatori entrati nella maxi-causa intentata contro World Rugby e le federazioni gallesi e inglesi per negligenza: l’ultimo aggiornamento, risalente al luglio del 2022, riportava infatti 185 giocatori impegnati nella causa, ma secondo BBC Wales il numero è ulteriormente aumentato, superando i 200 giocatori.

Proprio a BBC Wales è intervenuto l’ex internazionale Lenny Woodard, anche lui affetto da demenza precoce: “La gente rimarrebbe scioccata se conoscesse i nomi dei giocatori che hanno fatto causa a World Rugby, alla WRU e alla RFU”.

“Ad un certo punto, l’elenco dei giocatori sarà reso pubblico, e rimarrete scioccati dai nomi che leggerete. Parliamo di giocatori dei British and Irish Lions, di quel livello. Grandi nomi che al momento fanno parte del procedimento e stanno lottando”.

Alcuni dei nomi, nel corso del tempo, erano già venuti allo scoperto. Come l’ex capitano del Galles, Ryan Jones, che ha ricevuto una diagnosi di demenza precoce a 41 anni. Insieme a lui, ci sono anche Steve Thompson, campione del mondo con l’Inghilterra nel 2003, e Carl Hyman, ex pilone degli All Blacks.

Stando a quanto dice Woodard, altri grandi nomi sono presenti nella lista dei denuncianti, che nel frattempo diventa sempre più folta.

All Blacks Rugby boss Mark Robinson refuses to endorse

New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson has refused to suggest Ian Foster's future as All Blacks head train. A matter of hours after the All Blacks' dramatic 35-23 reaction at Ellis Park snapped their three-sport losing run, Robinson fronted media via Zoom in a weird press convention in which he outlined Foster's destiny will be decided as soon as the team arrives domestic early next week, however provided no other perception into the possibly final results. http://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://maps.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://plus.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://maps.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://images.google.co.nz/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://maps.google.co.nz/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://images.google.de/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2F...

What to do with the All Blacks No 12 jersey?

Image
Why Quinn Tupaea is the man for the All Blacks No 12 jersey The fact that David Havili was amongst the chosen 11 to fly early to Cardiff ahead of this weekend’s test with Wales is a solid indicator that he will slot into the second-five position then, as he has done to, mostly, good effect for much of 2021.  Ireland v New Zealand Rugby Quinn Tupaea is just five tests and three starts into his young All Blacks career but already he looks the man to start in the internationals against Ireland and France later on this tour. Jack Goodhue may come again when back from injury in 2022 but, for now, Tupaea looms as the best man to punch holes in the opposition line and help break down the rush defence that so exposed the All Blacks against the Springboks. Funnily enough, 12 is not even Tupaea’s favoured position. That is centre, but Anton Lienert-Brown and/or Rieko Ioane are first cabs off the rank there in black. Havili has acquitted himself well for the All Blacks this season, especially...

New Zealand U20 score in dying minutes to draw with South Africa U20

Image
Staff members from Sunshine Coast Stadium were on the pitch with leaf blowers and brooms an hour and a half before the inaugural Rugby Championship U20 match began, attempting to clear the numerous puddles that covered the pitch. The "Sunshine Coast" had delivered some less than ideal weather for the historic event, but the rain stopped as the teams passed the big, gleaming trophy. With 90 seconds remaining, South Africa had a narrow lead thanks to a scoring spurt in the third quarter, setting up a historically close test between the two well-known rivals. The kickoff demonstrated the difficulty of the conditions; the drop kick hardly cleared the turf, resulting in a shaky kick that drifted into the path of Liam Jack of New Zealand. During the first scrum,  New Zealand  was awarded a penalty; however, a misdirected throw by the referee cost the Kiwis their first lineout. Every step sent water spraying off the pitch, and each catch required focus, resulting in a lot of kicks...
