  • LEONARDO GHIRALDINI ANNUNCIA IL RITIRO DAL RUGBY INTERNAZIONALE Saturday, 23 January 2021 06:57
    LEONARDO GHIRALDINI ANNUNCIA IL RITIRO DAL RUGBY INTERNAZIONALE Saturday, 23 January 2021 06:57 There are no translations available. “RINGRAZIO FAMIGLIA, ALLENATORI, COMPAGNI, TIFOSI: E’ STATO UN VIAGGIO MERAVIGLIOSO” Roma - Leonardo Ghiraldini esce dalla storia ed entra nella leggenda del rugby italiano. Il tallonatore più presente di tutti i tempi in maglia azzurra, 107 caps con la Nazionale, scrive la parola fine su una delle carriere internazionali più prestigiose in novant’anni di storia del nostro rugby, annunciando il ritiro dal palcoscenico dei test-match a 36 anni. Un ritiro che arriva a qualche mese di distanza da quello dal rugby giocato di Alessandro Zanni, compagno di infinite battaglie e di un numero inquantificabile di stanze d’albergo condivise con Calvisano, Benetton e Italrugby. Con l’addio del tallonatore padovano all’Italia si chiude idealmente un’epoca, quella della generazione di atleti nati nella prima metà degli Anni ’80 su cui mise gli occhi John Kirwan e che trovarono poi in Berbizier prima, in Nick Mallett poi gli allenatori della maturità sportiva: Sergio Parisse, lo storico capitano dell’Italia oggi al Tolone, è il solo ancora in attività del gruppo che volò a Marsiglia sul finire dell’estate 2007 per la Rugby World Cup francese che avrebbe posto le basi per il lustro successivo. Ripercorrere la carriera di Leonardo Ghiraldini vuol dire andare ben oltre le centosette partite in maglia Italia. Dal debutto sotto Pierre Berbizier a Tokyo contro il Giappone nel 2006, un susseguirsi di emozioni e ricordi. Diciassette volte capitano della Nazionale, inclusi l’intero Torneo delle 6 Nazioni 2010 ed i primi due turni della Rugby World Cup inglese del 2015, la maglia dei Barbarians, le esperienze da protagonista in due dei Club più prestigiosi d’Europa, Leicester Tigers e Stade Toulousain, dopo lo scudetto vinto - da giovanissimo capitano - con il giallonero di Calvisano e una serie di stagioni ad altissimo livello del PRO12 (oggi PRO14) con la Benetton, un totale di quattro edizioni della Rugby World Cup a cui ha preso parte.

Three of those teams are in action on Friday night; Ulster traveling to Edinburgh, Ospreys hosting Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons, and Scarlets in Italy to face Zebre. Edinburgh can do their Scottish neighbours, Warriors, a favour if they can defeat Ulster however their record against the Ulstermen is not great. Meanwhile Ospreys and Scarlets must both be looking to come away with maximum points from opponents who are sitting at the wrong end of the table in their bids to reach the Play-Offs. The leaders, Glasgow Warriors, are not in action until Saturday, and are the only one of the potential Play-Off teams to face another side from the top half of the table when the visit Leinster at the RDS. Munster will also be looking for maximum points in the All-Irish clash against Connacht if they are to make a final push for the knockout stages. With just two points separating the top three teams in the table, whilst it is even closer for the final Play Off spot, there is definitely all to play for still as the RaboDirect PRO12 enters its closing stages.

  • RD PRO12 Peview Round 9
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2012/13 Round Nine: 23rd – 25th November 2012 ROUND NINE PREVIEWS With the completion of their postponed Round 4 game against Zebre, Ulster have now pulled out a six points lead at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table. They are in action in Italy again on Friday night when they face Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the country as well as maintaining their 100per cent start to this season’s RaboDirect PRO12. Current RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, are also in action on Friday night travelling to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh Rugby. Ospreys sit just outside the top four due to poorer points difference than Munster, should results go their way this weekend it could be the first time they have entered the Play-Off zone this season. The match of the day must be the encounter at Scotstoun where third placed Glasgow Warriors must overcome the reigning European champions, Leinster if they are to set a new Warriors record in this tournament of seven successive wins. The final game on Friday night is in Wales when Newport Gwent Dragons host Connacht. Both teams have had a mixed start to their seasons, and a win would be a welcome boost to their campaigns. The round concludes with two games on Sunday, Munster v Scarlets and Zebre v Cardiff Blues. After having narrowly missed out to Ulster last weekend, Zebre are still looking for their first win in the completion, and will be hoping Blues poor form continues for one more week.

Dopo l’impegnativo tour estivo , vissuto nell’emisfero australe , gli azzurri di Nick Mallett si pre - sentano al via di una nuova stagione che inizia con il tradiziona - le trittico autunnale rappresentato dai test match Cariparma. Una serie di importanti ed attesi confronti che si esauriscono, in rapida successione, in quindici giorni . L’Italia riprende il cammino da dove, praticamente, l’aveva interrotto. I primi avversari del quindici azzurro, infatti, sono i mitici e leggendari All Blacks, affrontati a fine giugno a Christchurch, che modellano una squadra da sogno.
