Broncan, a Frenchman, stated the departure of South African groups – and people from Japan and Argentina – from Super Rugby submit Covid had a direct influence on the fortunes of the Wallabies.
Having seen the strain utilized in high European competitions for groups combating for survival, he stated Australian gamers taking part in towards one another and New Zealanders was a poor breeding floor for worldwide gamers.
“A big difference between the Top 14 and European Cup and your Super Rugby competition in Australia, with New Zealand, is the pressure,” Broncan advised reporters.
“In France, we have pressure every game because there are massive things about relegation or qualification. It’s very important for the French and European teams.
“In Super Rugby there is no relegation, there is just to play to win the Super Rugby. It’s a good thing … but just against New Zealand and Australian teams.
“You will see the next games during the World Cup quarter-finals, semi-finals, final, there will be a massive pressure on the pitch. A lot of games will finish with a very close score between the two teams and the last five or 10 minutes you can win or lose a game. But today for our team it is not that.
“During the halftime against Wales I was sure we are going to win the game. Ten points is nothing, but we start the second half and we concede a penalty and 13 points and it was finished. We need to change that in the future.”
Since the beginning of 2022, Australia has performed in 10 Tests the place the margin has been 5 factors or much less, shedding seven.

“Brumbies is a good way for the team because they have a team that is very tough and they can beat New Zealand sides today. The other teams in Australia it was very tough and difficult to win (against) the New Zealand teams. It is a rarity and we need to change that firstly,” stated.
“When you had Super Rugby with the South African teams, it was a tough competition, very tough competition. Today’s South African teams, they play in Europe and it was a benefit for the northern hemisphere.”
Amid ongoing hypothesis about the way forward for Wallabies coach Eddie Jones, who has denied hyperlinks to Japan, Broncan was assured Jones wouldn’t be leaving the Australian staff.
“Yes, of course. I am sure about it because he’s a great coach. I understand everything about it and I think in his head he wants now to find the best solution for the Australia national team and his country. He is the right person.
“It is not just a problem of Eddie Jones or the players today, I am sure about it.”
