Modifican reglas para hacer más atractivos partidos de Rugby

Revelan los cambios drásticos que planea hacer @WorldRugby para fomentar el espectáculo en el rugby.

Agencias/Ciudad de México.- World Rugby reveló planes destinados a “reimaginar el factor de entretenimiento del rugby”, incluyendo sanciones de 20 minutos para las tarjetas rojas, la aceleración de la pelota desde el ruck y el maul, y un tiempo determinado para completar los scrums y saques laterales, confirmaron funcionarios. El organismo rector teme que el juego lento y las tácticas negativas…

2023 @worldrugby @capgemini Women in Rugby Leadership Summit | Scholarship recipients from '22 & '23 gathered at Capgemini Les Fontaines Campus in Govieaux, France.

Being able to hear from and spend time with World Rugby Chief of Womens Rugby, Sally Horrox, and International Rugby Players, Head of Womens Rugby, Rachel Burford, was a real treat. Not forgetting the Capgemini Executives & Staff, I felt like a VIP with exclusive access to some inspiring professionals.

The VIP treatment continued with a Michelin Star dinner at Ducasse sue Seine Paris and spoilt further with a spectacular view of Paris by night.

The best part was connecting with like-minded, passionate, and kicka$$ scholars from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Georgia, Ivory Coast, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda, Ukraine & USA, I pinched myself that I was part of this mighty collective.

Although my journey with the scholarship is still in its early stages, as a daughter of Oceania 🇦🇺🇼🇸🇳🇿, I left Capgemini Les Fontaines with a fire in my belly to learn, create, lead, and serve.

MY TOP 4 IRFU PLAYERS FROM EACH PROVINCE

Credit: joe.ie 

Finally, we’re onto the province that makes up the basis of the Irish team, my home province, the most talented province. Shall I go on?

 There are many players that are worthy to be noted here; Johnny Sexton, our fabulous Wexford beast Tadhg Furlong alongside an oldie but a goodie Brian O’Driscoll but instead we are ONCE AGAIN back on the International stage again for Leinster with our newly capped, national treasure… JAMES LOWE! Literally the most smiley person to ever live.

Born in New Zealand and of Maori descent, Lowe started playing rugby in high school. He played rugby for a local club for 5 years, as well as playing with the All Blacks on an international level for 3 years before moving to Ireland and signing with Leinster in 2017. He gave up playing with the All Blacks to care for his mother who had a serious stroke, which has left her unable to walk.

He recently qualified for the Irish national team after 3 years residency in the country. He is proud of his Maori roots but has openly stated how much he loves playing for the province, saying ‘Shit man, I love this team.’ He recently signed another 3-year contract with the province. He plays as a wing and has scored 33 tries for the province in the space of 4 years!  He is a fan favourite for the club. Its fair to say that we’re incredibly lucky to have our hands on a former All Black, who is unbelievably proud to be Irish! 

The winger got very emotional during his first international match on the 13th of November 2020. He was clearly holding back tears during the anthems and told the media how much he missed his family being there, as they always pushed him to pursue his rugby career in Ireland! Awww! He then went on to score a try in his first international match!

I have gotten the chance to watch him live in 2 different Leinster vs Munster matches in the 2018-2019 Champions Cup and Pro14 respectively. I watched him get unfairly red carded and disqualified for 4 weeks, which infuriated the entire population of Leinster!   A few months after that, we were in the RDS in Dublin watching Leinster vs Munster again and as the squad was doing the warmups and practice kicks...I got walloped by one of the balls he kicked and expected a rugby ball shaped bruise on my body!  It’s my biggest claim to fame! :)

This ends my series on my top 4 favourite players in each province  *cries in rugby* 

Go raibh míle maith agat!

Absolutely a class act! from @fijirugbyunion 🇫🇯

Coming from one nation that does not have as much itself compared to the tier one nations. Heartwarming. Maybe after this World Cup @worldrugby will look to divert more resources to the tier two nations and beyond - Rugby values. Well done!! 🏉

MY TOP 4 IRFU PLAYERS FROM EACH PROVINCE

Credit: Getty Images

We cannot go into this week without mentioning Rory Best. C’mon, great captain, very level-headed on the pitch. I actually got the chance to go to both his and Joe Schmidt’s last match on home soil before they headed to the Rugby World Cup… and I’ll be honest… I cried.

We’re finally staying on home soil with this player, he is NOT an international *sigh* We get the best internationals. BUT he is an absolutely magnificent player with fantastic speed… Yep- you guessed it, it is OF COURSE, Jacob Stockdale.

We’re going to IGNORE the shambles of a performance that oul butterfingers Stockdale provided us with against France.. IT WAS VERY RAINY!  All jokes aside, he is an amazing player with intense pride for his province and his country. His celebrations after numerous tries have provided us with pictures that narrate the intensity of his pride for Ireland, as he grabs the crest on his jersey or kneels to the ground.

2018 was a massive year for the entire squad, they won the Six Nations, Grand Slam and Triple Crown, we bet England at home in Twickenham Stadium on St. Patricks Day, a momentous occasion for the squad and Stockdale, who had scored 7 tries in 4 games, a new record in the Six Nations Championship. In that same year, they bet the All Blacks on Irish soil for the first time ever!

It’s fair to say that Stockdale has an amazing repertoire. He played some amazing games at the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019, however the losing game against the All-Blacks was an all time low for both him and rugby fans. We all make mistakes, we are human, but telling a normally amazing rugby player to ‘go kill himself’ over Twitter, was where fans hit their all time low. He has off days on the pitch, it’s only natural to not be at 100% every game.

Despite this, he is the most driven player and pushes himself every time, the speed he has is like that of a superhuman.

And last...and by NO MEANS LEAST... 

We have Leinster up next!!!
