Angleterre - France : Sleightholme revient sur son altercation avec Penaud

LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 8: France's Damian Penaud and England's Ollie Sleightholme have words during the Guinness Six Nations 2025 match between England and France at Allianz Stadium on February 8, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Bob Bradford - CameraSport via Getty Images)

L’ailier anglais Ollie Sleightholme avait en quelque sorte donné le ton lors d’Angleterre – France, samedi. On ne jouait que la 22e minute de ce Crunch comptant pour la deuxième journée du Tournoi des Six Nations et remporté à la dernière minute par l’Angleterre. Les Bleus venaient de commettre leur quatrième en-avant en bonne position de l’après-midi.

Celui-là, c’est Damian Penaud qui l’a commis sur son aile. Dépité, l’ailier français avait de plus reçu un coup d’épaule dans le dos de son vis-à-vis, alors que les deux joueurs étaient hors du terrain et le ballon au sol.

Une altercation avait suivi, Penaud reprochant (légitimement) à l’Anglais cette réaction inutile, non sanctionnée par l’arbitre. « Ce n’était pas vraiment réfléchi », a expliqué le joueur de Northampton, 24 ans. « Ça s’est fait sur le moment. En revoyant les images, ça a l’air pire que ce que c’est vraiment. J’ai eu le sentiment de lui tomber dessus, mais ça donne l’impression que je lui ai donné un coup d’épaule, ce qui n’est pas le cas. Ce n’est pas grand-chose. »

Sleightholme : « Ça ne fait pas de mal de chambrer un peu ton adversaire direct »

Relancé sur le fait qu’il apprécie ce genre de confrontations, Sleightholme a ajouté : « Il y a une part de moi qui l’apprécie, mais je sais que je dois garder mon sang-froid, être calme sur le terrain. Mais je crois que ça ne fait pas de mal de chambrer un peu ton adversaire direct ».

Une reconnaissance, même à demi-mot, du caractère volontaire de la provocation du N.11 anglais. De quoi faire perdre aux Bleus leurs moyens ? Ce n’est évidemment pas la seule explication mais cela montre l’état d’esprit déterminé des Anglais samedi dernier.

L’ailier de l’UBB, de son côté, a tout de même marqué un essai au nez et à la barbe de Sleightholme, un peu court sur ce coup-là.

On jouait l’heure de jeu, et le 37e essai de Penaud en Bleu (désormais à une longueur du record de Serge Blanco) permettait aux Français de mener 18-12. Avant le scénario fatal qu’on connaît durant les vingt dernières minutes…

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
