Ovaly’s Chronicle. “Wasps have bumblebees!” English rugby is facing its worst economic crisis in forty years

Those who are very persevering will surely have noticed it. After two months of the championship the number of top 14 places has already changed. Some clubs have received or are about to receive reinforcements from England. Two Premiership clubs from Worcester and Wasps have been put into compulsory liquidation. One that swept rugby off the map.

So, the players are looking for a new employee. Just like in real life. Not everyone is likely to get a job tomorrow. As for Wasps, 167 people have lost their jobs at the Coventry-based club since their move from London in 2014. Trainers.

Ovaly’s Chronicle. “By copying football…” The Top 14 experienced its first fall crisis!

Yes, farewell to the Wasps, the monument of European rugby, the historic opponent of Stade Toulouse, who reigned in the 2000s: four championships of England between 2002 and 2008, two European Cups won in 2004 and 2007. It is difficult to read. Unless a buyer decides to drop a few million.

It is hard to believe the current economic problems of English rugby, with only eleven clubs in the first division. All against the backdrop of the UK’s worst economic crisis in forty years and Brexit.

Ovaly’s Chronicle. “The prevailing logic today is that after the match…” or how clubs manage their international player conundrum

Could both of these dissolutions have been avoided if the English Championship had received DNACG as it did in France? This independent body is responsible for controlling the financial situation of the clubs, so… expect. May be.

However, it is far from certain that the top 14 will one day be safe from a nasty surprise, even with its gradual decline and the implementation of a salary cap until 2024/2025 to avoid salary increases. Imbalance in the championship. Because in rugby, when a new rule appears, on the field or behind the scenes, there’s a new game in figuring out how to avoid it…

Madosh Thumbwe punched

We had already praised his performance against Toulouse on the first day. He struck twice again at Clermont. With a small personal achievement in the second attempt. And the idea that something happens when he touches the ball.

Discover Leo Carbone

The private scrum-half made his first appearance in the first 14 against State Franchise. From the present to the past, he is none other than the son of Philippe Carboneau, three-time French champion and European champion with Stade Toulouse.

Sebastien Bezzi’s perf

The scrum-half continues to enliven the Clermont game, always sticking to the ball and ensuring no wasted passes. We also appreciated the overall nature of this Clermont – Bordeaux-Bègles (23-23).

This week, Dispatch don’t like…

The relaxation of Sekou Macaulou

In the third he thought he had scored and looked a little better when he was flat out, and at the last a private player turned forward.

Privy’s new fanny

For the second time this season after losing to Toulon (47-0), Prive did not get a single point against Stade Français (27-0). The Correz club could have ended the Fanny three times in a row without conceding a try last weekend (45-7) against Toulouse.
