Les victoires bonifiées à domicile dimanche de Bordeaux-Bègles et Toulouse contre Leicester et l’Ulster bouclent le beau week-end des clubs français en Champions Cup, reçus six sur huit lors de la première journée.

Les deux finalistes du dernier Top 14, qui comptent parmi les favoris de la compétition, ont confirmé la dynamique enclenchée vendredi soir par le joli coup de La Rochelle à Bath (24-20).

L’UBB, accrochée en première mi-temps, a finalement accéléré au retour des vestiaires pour s’imposer avec le point de bonus offensif face à Leicester (42-28), actuel troisième du championnat d’Angleterre.

Après plusieurs prestations en demi-teinte en championnat, le club girondin a retrouvé son attaque de feu avec six essais inscrits. Le troisième ligne australien Pete Samu a signé un doublé, comme l’inévitable Louis Bielle-Biarrey, sur la lancée de ses tests d’automne réussis avec les Bleus.

« Ils ont voulu nous faire péter physiquement. Ils nous ont un peu sous-estimés, on a su faire le dos rond et on a planté des banderilles quand il le fallait », a apprécié le demi de mêlée et capitaine girondin Maxime Lucu.

Toulouse, tenant du titre, a frappé encore plus fort contre l’Ulster (61-21), avec neuf essais, dont deux chacun pour le colosse Emmanuel Meafou et le feu follet Ange Capuozzo.

Les succès de l’UBB et de Toulouse s’ajoutent à ceux de La Rochelle à Bath, de Clermont contre Trévise (28-0), du Racing 92 face aux Harlequins (23-12) et de Toulon chez les Stormers (24-14) en Afrique du Sud.

« Pas mal de clubs français ont envie de jouer cette compétition à fond et se donnent les moyens de gagner, que ce soit à domicile ou à l’extérieur », a dit Dupont. « Tant mieux de voir les clubs briller, ça montre aussi que le rugby français performe.

« Au vu des conditions, on a fait un match très sérieux, avec du contenu, de la qualité technique, du pragmatisme… Même si on a été trop pénalisés, qu’on a pris des essais un peu trop facilement dès qu’ils sont venus dans notre camp, la copie est plus que positive. On sait ce qu’on a à travailler, mais on est quand même très satisfaits. Ce club a une relation particulière avec cette compétition et ce depuis le début. On sent qu’il y a une excitation différente et on l’attend à chaque fois avec impatience. »

Seuls deux clubs de Top 14 ont connu la défaite lors de cette journée inaugurale : Castres, qui n’a jamais fait des joutes européennes une priorité, à Northampton (38-8), et le Stade français, mal en point en championnat, sur le terrain du Munster (33-7).

Ben Earl: 'Literally half the stuff I do is basically as a 12 anyway'

I’m reaching out today with a heartfelt plea, hoping my experience can serve as a warning to others. I’m one of the millions who have lost everything to the Vourteige scam, and my story is a painful reminder of how easily trust can be exploited. It all started with promises of high returns: a 5-month contract, 2% monthly withdrawals on a free margin account. Everything sounded too good to be true, but I was drawn in by their convincing tactics and the allure of financial freedom. I trusted them so much that I borrowed a significant amount of money from banks, believing in the legitimacy of this investment. Unfortunately, I failed to see the warning signs and ignored the growing doubts I had.I ended up investing a substantial sum of $450,000, fully expecting to see profits and withdrawals, as promised. But that never happened. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t access any of my funds. The platform’s responses became more vague, and the withdrawals never came through. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and I was left in a situation that could have led to complete financial ruin.At this point, I felt utterly hopeless. I was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the thought of facing my family, especially my parents, with this news was unbearable. They had no~ idea how~ deep I had gone into this investment, and I couldn’t bear to lose their trust. The shame I felt was overwhelming.But just when I thought there was no way out, I discovered a legitimate recovery team called Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ They offered a glimmer of hope when everything seemed lost. The team worked tirelessly to guide me through the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover 100% of my lost crypto funds. I can’t express how grateful I am for their expertise, support, and the relief I now feel.I’m sharing my story not to relive the pain, but to warn others. If you’re considering investing in anything that promises high returns with little risk, please do your research. Check trusted websites like Reddit and others to see if others have had similar experiences. Be cautious, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t give up. There are legitimate recovery teams out there that can help. Protect yourself, your finances, and your loved ones. The risks are real, but there is hope for recovery. E m a i l : info @ trustgeekshackexpert .. com And w h a t's A p p  +1 7 1 9 4 9 2 2 6 9 3
