Le documentaire Whistleblowers en exclusivité sur RugbyPass TV
Whistleblowers, le documentaire évènement suivant les officiels de match pendant la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, est désormais disponible en France, en version sous-titrée, gratuitement et en exclusivité sur RugbyPass TV.
Bénéficiant d’un accès sans précédent au « métier le plus exigeant du sport », Whistleblowers donne aux téléspectateurs un éclairage inédit sur les pressions et les émotions subies et ressenties par les meilleurs arbitres du monde lors qu’ils sont en charge des rencontres de la compétition phare du rugby. Des vétérans expérimentés aux débutants en Coupe du Monde de Rugby, le film met en lumière les personnalités qui se cachent derrière le sifflet.
Saisissant, intense et poignant, le documentaire suit les arbitres et leurs familles dans leur préparation pour la compétition et pendant les sept semaines de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023. L’accent est mis sur les efforts déployés pour prendre des décisions justes, précises et cohérentes dans un environnement sous haute tension.
Avec des entretiens exclusifs, un accès privilégié aux réunions d’équipe, et l’émotion palpable avant et après les matchs, Whistleblowers est un documentaire à ne pas manquer. En explorant leurs histoires sur et en dehors du terrain, ce récit captivant relate les hauts et les bas, les certitudes et les doutes de la sélection, ainsi que la préparation physique et mentale. Il aborde également l’analyse des performances, la dynamique de groupe unique, les relations avec les équipes, et l’impact du cyber harcèlement sur les officiels et leurs proches, ainsi que les mesures prises par World Rugby pour y remédier.
Jaco Peyper, arbitre de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, a déclaré : « Nous voulons offrir aux fans un aperçu de notre quotidien, un travail extrêmement gratifiant qui nous place au cœur des plus grands événements sportifs. Certains disent que c’est le métier le plus exigeant dans le rugby, et bien que ce ne soit pas toujours facile, les expériences et les amitiés sont aussi un privilège. J’espère que les téléspectateurs comprendront que nous sommes des humains comme les autres, avec des familles, cherchant à donner le meilleur de nous-mêmes. Nous espérons qu’ils auront ainsi une meilleure compréhension de notre environnement de travail et de notre dévouement envers le sport que nous aimons. »
Alan Gilpin, Directeur général de World Rugby, a ajouté : « Je tiens à remercier toutes celles et tous ceux qui ont contribué à la réalisation de ce film exceptionnel, en particulier aux officiels de match, qui sont la clé de voute de notre sport. Sans eux, il n’y aurait pas de jeu, et j’espère que ce film remarquable nous rappellera à tous le rôle crucial qu’ils jouent, que ce soit lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby ou dans le rugby amateur, qui constitue le cœur même de notre sport. Ce sont des êtres humains, ils éprouvent les mêmes émotions que nous, mais grâce à ce film captivant, nous espérons qu’un nouveau niveau de respect et d’empathie sera porté envers les officiels de match du monde entier. »
Une lutte contre le cyberharcèlement qui s’accélère sous l’impulsion de World Rugby
La diffusion de ce documentaire survient peu de temps après qu’un tribunal australien ait pris la décision historique de condamner un individu pour avoir envoyé des messages injurieux visant un arbitre de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 et sa famille sur les réseaux sociaux. Grâce au programme de lutte contre la haine en ligne de World Rugby qui a permis d’accumuler les preuves, l’accusé a été reconnu coupable d’utilisation abusive des services de communication en ligne à des fins de menace et de harcèlement.
World Rugby peut confirmer que d’autres affaires sont en cours dans cinq juridictions à la suite de cette initiative historique.
Whistleblowers est produit par World Rugby Studios en partenariat avec Noah et HBS, avec les producteurs exécutifs David Snowdon, Dan Miodownik, Julien Bertin et James Rothwell. Il totalise déjà 316 226 vues depuis sa mise en ligne dans le reste du monde le 1er février.
Comments on RugbyPass
I bet he inspired those supporters just as much.

67 Go to commentsGood to hear he would like to play the game at the highest level, I hadn’t been to sure how much of a motivator that was before now. Sadly he’s probably chosen the rugby club to go to. Try not to worry about all the input about how you should play rugby Joey and just try to emulate what you do on the league field and have fun. You’ll limit your game too much (well not really because he’s a standard athlete like SBW and he’ll still have enough) if you’re trying to make sure you can recycle the ball back etc. On the other hard, you can totally just try and recycle by looking to offload any and everywhere if you’re going to ground 😋
1 Go to commentsThis just proves that theres always a stat and a metric to use to justify your abilities and your success. Ben did it last week by creating an imaginary competition and now you did the same to counter his argument and espouse a new yardstick for success. Why not just use the current one and lets say the Boks have won 4 world cups making them the most successful world cup team. Outside of the world cup the All Blacks are the most successful team winning countless rugby championships and dominating the rankings with high win percentages. Over the last 4 years statistically the Irish are the best having the highest win rate and also having positive records against every tier 1 side. The most successful Northern team in the game has been England with a world cup title and the most six nations titles in history. The AB’s are the most dominant team in history with the highest win rate and 3 world cups. Lets not try to reinvent the wheel. Just be honest about the actual stats and what each team has been good at doing and that will be enough to define their level of success.
19 Go to commentsHow is 7’s played there? I’m surprised 10 or 11 man rugby hasn’t taken off. 7 just doesn’t fit the 15s dynamics (rules n field etc) but these other versions do.
7 Go to commentsPick Swinton at your peril A liability just like JWH from the Roosters Skelton ??? went missing at RWC
14 Go to commentsLike tennis, who have a ranking system, and I believe rugby too, just measure over each period preceding a world cup event who was the longest number one and that would be it. In tennis the number one player frequently is not the grand slam winner. I love and adore the All Blacks since the days of Ian Kirkpatrick when I was a kid in SA. And still do because they are the masters of running rugby and are gentleman on and off the field - in general. And in my opinion they have been the majority of the time the best rugby team in the world.

21 Go to commentsBell injured his foot didn’t he? Bring Tupou in he’ll deliver when it counts. Agree mostly but I would switch in the Reds number 8 Harry Wilson for Swinton and move Rob Valentini to 6 instead. Wilson is a clever player who reads the play, you can’t outmuscle the AB’s and Springboks, if you have any chance it’s by playing clever. Same goes for Paisami, he’s a little guy who doesn’t really trouble the likes of De Allende and Jordie Barrett. I’d rather play Carter Gordon at 12 and put Michael Lynagh’s boy at 10. That way you get a BMT type goalkicker at 10 and a playmaker at 12. Anyways, just my two cents as a Bok supporter.
14 Go to commentsThanks Brett, love your articles which are alway pertinent. It’s a difficult topic trying to have a panel adjudicating consistently penalties for red card issues. Many of the mitigating reasons raised are judged subjectively, hence the different outcomes. How to take away subjective opinions?
9 Go to commentsYes Sir! Surprising, just like Fraser would also have escaped sanction if he was a few inches lower, even if it was by accident that he missed! Has there really been talk about those sanctions or is this just sensational journalism? I stopped reading, so might have missed any notations.
9 Go to commentsAI is only as good as the information put in, the nuances of the sport, what you see out the corner of the eye, how you sum up in a split second the situation, yes the AI is a tool but will not help win games, more likely contribute to a loss, Rugby Players are not robots, all AI can do if offer a solution not the solution. AI will effect many sports, help train better golfers etc.
45 Go to commentsIt couldn’t have been Ryan Crotty. He wasn’t selected in either World Cup side - they chose Money Bill instead. And Money Bill only cared about himself, and that manager he had, not the team.
28 Go to commentsYawn 🥱 nobody would give a hoot about this new trophy. End of the day we just have to beat Ireland and NZ this year then they can finally shut up 🤐
19 Go to commentsTalking bout Ryan Crotty? Heard Crotty say in a interview once that SBW doesen't care about the team . He went on to say that whenever they lost a big game, SBW would be happy as if nothing happened, according to him someone who cares would look down.. Personally I think Crotty is in the wrong, not for feeling gutted but for expecting others 2 be like him… I have been a bad loser forever as it matters so much to me but good on you SBW for being able to see the bigger picture….
28 Go to commentsThis sounds like a WWE idea so Americans can also get excited about rugby, RUGBY NEEDS A INTERNATIONAL CALENDER .. The rugby Championship and Six Nations can be held at same time, top 3 of six nations and top 3 of Rugby championship (6 nations should include Georgia AND another qualifying country while Fiji, Japan and Samoa/Tonga qualifier should make out 6 Southern teams).. Scrap June internationals and year end tours. Have a Elite top six Cup and the Bottom 6 in a secondary comp….
19 Go to commentsThe rugby championship would be even stronger with Fiji in it… I know it doesen’t fit the long term plans of NZ or Aus but you are robbing a whole nation of being able to see their best players play for Fiji…. Every second player in NZ and AUS teams has Fijian surnames… shame on you!!! World rugby won’t step in either as France and England has now also joined in…. I guess where money is involved it will always be the poor countries missing out….
