This Saturday was a match between a selection of Japanese players and a New Zealand XV. A meeting largely won by the Kiwis, 38 to 6. But do not believe that it was a meeting for butter two months before the World Cup. There were in the ranks of New Zealand players well known to supporters such as Akira Ioane, Brad Weber, Stephen Perofeta, Etene Nanai-Seturo or Jack Goodhue.Rugby. Top14. Who is Brad Weber, the future All Black scrum half of the Stade Français? The center, future Castres player, was not selected by Ian Foster for the Rugby Championship like the other players listed above. Brad Weber will soon join the Top 14 in the colors of Stade Français. But, nothing says that we will not see Ioane and even Goodhue at the World Cup. We imagine that the coach of the All Blacks watched this match with great attention. TOP 14. TRANSFER. What can Jack Goodhue change in Castres? On the Japanese side, we found the veteran captain Michael Leitch but also the experienced pillars Craig Millar and Shinnosuke Kakinaga. Not to mention hooker Kosuke Horikosi, James Moore and number 8 Faulua Makisi. The Japanese did not lack desire, but they failed to score more than two penalties.
On the New Zealand side, Stephen Perofeta, Jack Goodhue, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Alex Nankivell and Folau Fakatava each found the fault in the local defense. It was mainly in the second half that they made the difference since the score was only 11-6 at the break.
A meeting also marked by the very pretty caramel of Nakano on Goodhue at the start of the meeting. Served by his number 8 behind a scrum, the future Castres did not see the Japanese arrive. A cutting in the rules which must have made him whistle the ribs.
