All Blacks tetap hormat Perancis

Henry laung amaran kepada anak didik jangan pandang rendah lawan

AUCKLAND: New Zealand bakal menjadi pasukan pilihan apabila turun berdepan Perancis pada final ragbi Piala Dunia 2011 Ahad ini - ulangan final edisi pertama 1987 yang dimenangi skuad bergelar All Blacks itu.

Namun jurulatih New Zealand, Graham Henry memberi amaran kepada anak-anak buahnya supaya tidak memandang rendah Perancis biarpun mereka menumpaskan pasukan itu 37-17 pada aksi peringkat kumpulan.

“Kami tidak akan memandang rendah keupayaan Perancis. Biarpun mereka tidak beraksi baik pada separuh akhir (hanya menang 9-8 ke atas Wales), kami tahu mereka berkemampuan untuk beraksi di tahap tertinggi,” kata Henry.

Henry ternyata individu paling arif mengenai All Blacks kerana dia dipanggil semula mengisi jawatan itu selepas dipecat selepas tewas 20-18 kepada Perancis pada suku akhir Piala Dunia 2007 di Cardiff.

“Sepanjang tempoh lapan tahun terakhir ini, kami hanya tewas sekali di tempat sendiri iaitu di Dunedin dan menang kesemua perlawanan selepas tewas pada suku akhir 2007 itu yang menjadi persembahan paling teruk pernah saya alami.

“Tapi persiapan untuk menghadapi Perancis tidak akan sesukar ketika kami mahu berdepan Australia. Jadi itulah persoalan yang timbul untuk mempersiapkan pasukan sepanjang minggu ini.

“Tak banyak perubahan besar akan dibuat, cuma sedikit saja untuk taktikal permainan kami. Perancis mampu menjadi pasukan terbaik dunia pada hari terbaik mereka,” kata Henry. – AFP

Wallabies tak akan meratap lagi

Ashley-Cooper jamin Australia mampu raih tempat ketiga tewaskan Wales

AUCKLAND: Peminat ragbi Australia perlu melupakan kekecewaan dan bangkit menyokong pasukan itu menjelang perlawanan penentuan tempat ketiga Ragbi Piala Dunia, kata pemain pertahanan serba boleh Wallabies, Adam Ashley-Cooper.

Ditewaskan 20-6 oleh New Zealand pada separuh akhir Ahad lalu, Australia berdepan satu lagi pasukan yang tewas di separuh akhir, Wales dalam penentuan merebut pingat gangsa, Jumaat ini.
Tatkala ramai menganggap perlawanan itu tidak begitu bermakna, Ashley-Cooper berkata, Wallabies bertekad untuk menang.

Ini satu lagi peluang untuk menyarung jersi Wallabies dan tiada siapa akan bersikap mudah. Ada pingat gangsa ditawarkan dan semua begitu teruja.

Ini adalah bidang yang kami ceburi ada kalanya menang, ada kala tewas. Kita perlu lupakannya walaupun ia satu kekalahan yang amat memeritkan, (dan) walaupun kita bukan bertanding untuk merebut kejuaraan Piala Dunia, ia tetap satu lagi perlawanan.

Ashley-Cooper berkata, dia berharap peminat menunjukkan sedikit minat terhadap perlawanan itu.

Ditanya kenapa peminat Australia harus mengambil berat terhadap perlawanan yang boleh disifatkan sebagai tidak begitu bermakna, dia berkata: Kerana kami ambil berat. Dan jika mereka ambil berat mengenai kami, maka mereka prihatin.

Scrum terbaik penentu juara

AUCKLAND - Pemain Australia, Ben Alexander percaya, scrum yang terbaik bakal menjadi penentu pasukan mana yang akan muncul juara ragbi Piala Dunia kali ini.

Dia yang merujuk kepada pertemuan New Zealand dan Perancis di final, Ahad ini mengakui kedua- dua pasukan memiliki barisan scrum yang mantap sepanjang kejohanan di sini.

"Mereka (New Zealand dan Perancis) merupakan pasukan yang sangat hebat dari segi scrum dan saya berharap, pertembungan final pada tahun ini akan menjadi lebih menarik.

"New Zealand, pasukan pilihan untuk menjuarai Piala Dunia pada edisi tahun ini, mengetahui jika mereka memenangi scrum, mereka akan mengambil jalan yang jauh lebih mudah untuk menewaskan Perancis.

"Perancis pula yang juga memiliki kekuatan di bahagian scrum, mempamerkan aksi cemerlang sepanjang kejohanan ini berlangsung.

"Seperti mana mereka beraksi (menentang Perancis), ia pasti menjadi satu kesukaran bagi New Zealand," kata Alexander.

Dia juga percaya perlawanan akhir kali ini dijangka lebih sukar jika dibanding pada rekod final tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

"Pemain Perancis, Nicholas Mas dan William Servat juga pemain New Zealand, Keven Mealamu dan Owen Franks merupakan pemain penghadang yang hebat.

"Jadi, ia pasti menjadi satu pertembungan yang lebih sengit dan hebat," tegasnya. - Agensi

IRB Player of the year

AUCKLAND, 19 Oct. - The International Rugby Board has announced the shortlist of nominees for the IRB Player of the Year 2011 Award in association with Emirates Airline.

The winner of the prestigious individual accolade will be announced at the IRB Awards ceremony at Vector Arena in Auckland on Monday, 24 October, a day after the Rugby World Cup 2011 champions are crowned.

Four of the nominees are in the Rugby World Cup 2011 Final at Eden Park on Sunday with France captain Thierry Dusautoir joined by the New Zealand trio of scrum half Piri Weepu, flanker Jerome Kaino and centre Ma’a Nonu.

The other two nominees are Australia's flanker David Pocock and scrum half Will Genia, who will both play against Wales in the Bronze Final on Friday. Pocock has been nominated for the second year in a row, having missed out to New Zealand captain Richie McCaw in 2010.

“The IRB Player of the Year Award is the ultimate accolade for a player to receive in his career. It takes on added significance in a Rugby World Cup year and takes into account player performances in all major internationals, including matches in the RBS 6 Nations and Tri Nations,” said IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset.

“The list of past winners of this prestigious award is very impressive and comprises players of the calibre of Schalk Burger, Dan Carter, Jonny Wilkinson, Bryan Habana, Shane Williams and Richie McCaw, the only player to have received the coveted award on more than one occasion.”

The IRB Player of the Year nominees were selected by the IRB Awards independent panel of judges, which is chaired by Australia’s RWC 1999 winning captain John Eales and is made up of former internationals with more than 500 caps and four Rugby World Cup winners’ medals between them.

The IRB Awards panel comprises some of the biggest names in the Game with Will Greenwood, Gavin Hastings, Raphaël Ibanez, Francois Pienaar, Agustín Pichot, Scott Quinnell, Tana Umaga and Paul Wallace having deliberated on every major Test played in 2011, starting with the opening RBS 6 Nations match and culminating with the RWC Final.

In total the panel have watched more than 100 hours of action, awarding points to the three players they thought stood out in each match. In order to recognise the importance of Rugby World Cup matches in determining the Player of the Year, an additional weighting has been applied to matches in the Tournament.

“This has been one of the closest years to date. In fact the result could be influenced significantly by the next two matches and that’s what it should be like in a World Cup year," said panel chairman Eales.

The IRB Player of the Year is one of 12 Awards that will be presented at the star-studded ceremony at Vector Arena, the others include the IRB Coach of the Year, IRB Team of the Year, IRB Sevens Player of the Year in association with HSBC, IRB Junior Player of the Year and IRB Women’s Personality of the Year.

Previous winners of the IRB Player of the Year Award:

2010 – Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
2009 – Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
2008 – Shane Williams (Wales)
2007 – Bryan Habana (South Africa)
2006 – Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
2005 – Dan Carter (New Zealand)
2004 – Schalk Burger (South Africa)
2003 – Jonny Wilkinson (England)

Wallabies congak helah baru

Sharpe cipta rekod buat penampilan ke-100 di pentas antarabangsa

AUCKLAND: Kurtley Beale adalah antara lapan perubahan yang dilakukan Australia menjelang perlawanan tempat ketiga menentang Wales esok ketika pemain lock, Nathan Sharpe dijangka membuat kemunculan kali ke-100 untuk negaranya.

Pertahanan Beale tidak beraksi ketika Wallabies tewas 20-6 kepada New Zealand dalam perlawanan separuh akhir minggu lalu kerana kecederaan hamstring tetapi dia diisytihar cergas untuk perebutan pingat gangsa di Eden Park.

Ia (hamstring) hampir sembuh. Saya lakukan dua setengah kilometer larian sehari selepas perlawanan itu dan ada sedikit rasa sakit di situ. Otot di sekitarnya yang agak lemah tapi saya akan lakukan apa saja untuk memastikan ia kembali kuat dan saya tidak sabar menanti hari perlawanan, kata Beale.

Kehadiran semula Beale bermakna Adam Ashley-Cooper, pertahanan ketika bertemu New Zealand, kembali ke bahagian tengah manakala Anthony Faingaa diletakkan sebagai simpanan.

Sharpe, yang menggantikan Dan Vickerman yang cedera, dijangka akan menjadi pemain kelima dalam sejarah Wallaby untuk beraksi dalam 100 perlawanan Test - selain George Gregan, George Smith, Stephen Larkham dan David Campese.

Saya tidak sangka peluang bermain untuk kali ke-100 akan tiba, selama ini saya cuma pastikan berada dalam keadaan terbaik, jadi bila mendapat peluang ini saya akan berikan yang terbaik, kata Sharpe.

Walaupun sedikit kecewa ini adalah perebutan tempat ketiga, ia masih satu peluang untuk kami mewakili negara dan kami akan lakukannya dengan rasa bangga.

Pasukan juara dua kali Australia sudah pun kehilangan empat pemain akibat kecederaan ketika menentang All Blacks Pat McCabe (bahu), Vickerman (bahu, kaki dan hidung), Sekope Kepu (mata) dan Stephen Moore (dada).

Mengisi tempat mereka dalam barisan 15 pemain seperti yang diumumkan jurulatih Robbie Deans ialah Berrick Barnes, Sharpe, James Slipper dan Tatafu Polota Nau. - AFP
