Rugby World Cup success has a different meaning to New Zealand and Namibia

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:15:37 GMT

Success at the Rugby World Cup is measured very differently by New Zealand and Namibia.For New Zealand, the tournament is a good one only if the cup is won.For Namibia, its mere presence in France is a win.Some players had to change jobs in order to get leave for a month to attend the tournament. The capital Windhoek centers the country, so coming to practice from up north can mean a drive of five hours; from the Atlantic coast, four hours; and from the south, seven hours.“Wherever the players are situated, it’s always a sacrifice,” coach Allister Coetzee said. “And that tells of the resilience of the people and how much they love rugby.“Success for a Namibian team is once you overcome all the challenges and you get to a World Cup for a seventh time, that is already success in its own right. There are a couple of big nations not lucky to be here. We have worked hard and played ourselves into this competition again.“There is a bigger calling for these gentlemen. The...

Deep defensive front allows for frequent rotation as No. 3 Florida State emulates championship model

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:15:37 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Expectations were extremely high for defensive end Jared Verse at Florida State, yet the preseason All-American has just two tackles and two quarterback hurries in two games.Verse has drawn double teams and attention, but a veteran Seminoles’ defensive front has demonstrated it is more than a one-man show. No. 3 Florida State had four sacks in the season-opening win over LSU and tacked on two more last week against Southern Miss, which scored just three points in the first half against the first-team defense.“We’re going to be the best in the nation,” defensive tackle Fabien Lovett said. “It won’t be no ifs, ands or buts about it. We’re just focused on the best we can be each day, every rep.”Coach Mike Norvell and his staff have made an emphasis of accumulating defensive line talent in an effort to minimize how many reps the Seminoles will log each game. Verse arrived from FCS school Albany in 2022, while defensive tackle Braden Fiske (Western Michigan) and ...
