C’est un nouveau rebondissement dans l'affaire du milliardaire malgache Mamy Ravatomanga. À Maurice, une enquête est en cours après une plainte pour une tentative présumée de corruption impliquant un homme du premier cercle du Premier ministre mauricien. Cette plainte faite auprès de la Commission contre les crimes financiers, est accompagnée d’un enregistrement audio d’une conversation sur WhatsApp. Selon le plaignant, une somme de 350 millions de roupies, soit environ 6,4 millions d’euros, aurait été réclamée en échange d’une intervention en faveur de Mamy Ravatomanga, détenu à Maurice, depuis près d'un an, et proche de l'ex-président malgache, Andry Rajoelina.

The Springboks showed exactly why they have been the best team in the world over the past seven years, as they clinched an impressive 3-1 series win over fierce rivals, the All Blacks, in the inaugural Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry (RGR) competition.

It was the first traditional tour between the two most successful rugby nations in history since 1996.

Both teams picked up impressive wins; the All Blacks stunning the hosts 33-16 in the opener at Ellis Park, while the Boks produced a finishing flourish in the finale in Baltimore to secure an emphatic 43-28 result.

But in between there were close wins for the Boks – 33-26 in Cape Town and 29-24 in Soweto.

Here then are five Bok players who put up their hands over the series to be considered for more regular game-time going forward.

Morné van den Berg (10 Tests)

It was a stunning series for scrumhalf Morné van den Berg, who can now consider himself one of the Boks’ top options. Before the series started Van den Berg was behind Grant Williams and Cobus Reinach in the pecking order, while he was also fighting with other players bubbling under like Herschel Jantjies and Embrose Papier.

But an injury to Williams in the opening Test opened the door for Van den Berg.

With Reinach starting the next two Tests, Van den Berg got his chance playing off the bench. His strong cameo in Soweto helped earn him his start in Baltimore and he responded with a man-of-the-match performance. He will now hope to be given a run of starts for the Boks in their end-of-year Nations Championship internationals in November.

Deon Fourie (16 Tests)

Like Lazarus, Deon Fourie seems to have risen from the dead and given himself a real chance of being part of the Springboks World Cup squad in Australia next year as a 41-year-old.

Fourie, who turns 40 next week, almost retired due to injuries a couple of times over the past few years, but he kept going for the Stormers and was rewarded with a Bok recall just as the series started.

Having not played for the Boks since his heroics against the All Blacks in the 2023 World Cup final, it seems coach Rassie Erasmus trusts Fourie to be his fixer, with the utility forward covering hooker and loose forward, and playing in all three Bok wins over New Zealand in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry.

He admitted last week that if his body holds up, he’d definitely give the World Cup a crack.

Cameron Hanekom (6 Tests)

After a major injury kept Cameron Hanekom out of international action last year, and for most of the past URC season for the Bulls, he made an emphatic comeback and could become a vitally important member of the Springboks’ “bomb squad” heading into next year’s World Cup.

Like lock RG Snyman, warming the bench as an impact player could become a specialist position for Hanekom over the coming year.

His ability to play across the loose trio is very important, while his powerful running and breakdown ability are invaluable to the Boks towards the end of the game.

He started at flank against England, and eight against Argentina, but against the All Blacks played the Boks’ last three games off the bench, playing important roles in the final 20 minutes of each match to help them secure wins.

Ethan Hooker (13 Tests)

It will be very interesting to see who the Springboks will back as a regular starter on the wing between young Ethan Hooker or the experienced Kurt-Lee Arendse. Both Hooker and Arendse are attractive options – they are both great under the high ball, have electrifying feet, and both have good utility value.

Cheslin Kolbe, when fit, is one definite starter on the wing.

There are a few options on the other side and it seems like Hooker and Arendse will be battling it out for the spot. Hooker may have the edge over Arendse, as seen in the second All Blacks Test when Kolbe proved his fitness and coach Rassie Erasmus chose to keep Hooker and drop Arendse.

But it is incredibly tight to call. Hooker though again showed against the All Blacks just why he is so valued by Erasmus, after being a surprise pick a year or so ago.

Paul de Villiers (4 Tests)

Although he only played one match against the All Blacks, Paul de Villiers is undoubtedly one of the next big things for the Springboks, and is arguably Siya Kolisi’s heir apparent.

With Kolisi unavailable during the Nations Championship, De Villiers superbly deputised in his absence in all three Bok games and then he stepped in and impressed again in the first Test against the All Blacks.

He has done nothing wrong since making his Bok Test debut in July, and it is only Kolisi’s continued impact and leadership qualities that see him ahead of the rising De Villiers, who will likely play back up to the Bok captain until next year’s World Cup.

Le départ de Riyad Mahrez de la scène internationale ouvre une nouvelle ère sur les ailes de l’équipe nationale.

Après avoir occupé pendant de longues années une place prépondérante dans le dispositif offensif des Verts, l’ancien capitaine laisse désormais la porte ouverte à une nouvelle génération. À l’approche du prochain rassemblement, la succession de Mahrez n’est plus une simple question de noms ou de spéculations. Elle commence à se dessiner sur le terrain, avec plusieurs prétendants qui ont choisi le meilleur moment pour se mettre en évidence. Leurs performances avec leurs clubs européens offrent ainsi de nombreuses solutions au nouveau sélectionneur Ibrahim Hemdani et à son adjoint Antar Yahia, à quelques jours des prochaines échéances internationales.

Belloumi, un retour qui se précise

Parmi les candidats les mieux placés, figure Mohamed-Bachir Belloumi. Le joueur de Hull City réalise un début de saison particulièrement remarqué et semble se rapprocher d’un retour en sélection. Le jeune ailier s’est notamment illustré en inscrivant un doublé historique face à Chelsea, confirmant son adaptation au haut niveau anglais. Au-delà de ses buts, Belloumi a affiché de la personnalité, de la percussion et une réelle audace dans le dernier tiers. Des qualités qui pourraient lui permettre de retrouver rapidement les Verts et de se positionner sérieusement dans la course à une place de titulaire. Son début de saison constitue en tout cas un argument de poids avant le prochain stage.

Hadj-Moussa et Kebbal veulent s’imposer

Anis Hadj-Moussa n’a pas tardé, lui non plus, à rappeler ses ambitions. L’ailier de Feyenoord a signé un doublé lors du large succès de son équipe face à Zwolle (7-0), portant à quatre son nombre de contributions offensives depuis le début de l’exercice. Une efficacité qui lui permet de renforcer sa candidature et de prétendre à un rôle plus important avec les Verts. De son côté, Ilan Kebbal entend également profiter du changement de staff pour relancer ses chances. Écarté du Mondial 2026 par Vladimir Petkovic pour des raisons sportives, le joueur du Paris FC réalise un début de saison convaincant. Il s’est notamment distingué face à Lyon, où il a été désigné meilleur joueur de son équipe par Sofascore. Une nouvelle occasion se présente donc à lui pour convaincre Hemdani.

Ghedjemis doit accélérer

Derrière ce trio, Fares Ghedjemis semble actuellement accuser un léger retard. L’ailier de Frosinone a connu une préparation délicate après avoir été écarté du groupe en raison de sa volonté de quitter le club durant le mercato. Son transfert à Monaco n’a finalement pas abouti, Frosinone ayant réclamé 20 millions d’euros. Après une apparition comme remplaçant contre Venise, Ghedjemis a retrouvé une place de titulaire face au Genoa. Il devra toutefois rapidement retrouver son meilleur niveau pour convaincre le nouveau staff national.

La concurrence s’annonce donc particulièrement relevée. Belloumi, Hadj-Moussa et Kebbal ont déjà lancé leur candidature, tandis que Ghedjemis devra accélérer pour revenir dans la course. Le prochain stage, qui débutera le 21 septembre, offrira déjà une première réponse, avec la Zambie le 25 septembre à Tizi-Ouzou et le Burundi le 29 dans le cadre des éliminatoires de la CAN 2027, avant le match amical face au Niger, le 6 octobre.
