Cinq choses à retenir du Tournoi des Six Nations

Le Tournoi des Six Nations 2024 a finalement terminé comme il avait commencé, par une victoire de l’Irlande sur la France.

Si les Irlandais se sont ensuite inclinés face à l’Angleterre à Twickenham, ils ont tout de même défendu leur titre avec succès, avec cinq points d’avance sur la France, vice-championne, tandis que le Pays de Galles a touché le fond avec une cuillère de bois.

L’Irlande se remet en route après la Coupe du monde

L’Irlande a rebondi de façon spectaculaire après avoir été déçue par les quarts de finale de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby et a confirmé son statut de meilleure équipe internationale de l’hémisphère nord en remportant un deuxième titre de champion consécutif.

Une victoire record en France a donné le ton d’une nouvelle campagne dominante. Seule la meilleure performance du règne de Steve Borthwick en tant que sélectionneur de l’Angleterre – et un drop goal de dernière minute – a fait échouer la quête d’un Grand Chelem consécutif.

L’Irlande va maintenant s’attacher à confirmer ses prétentions à être la meilleure équipe du monde. Une alléchante série de deux tests en été contre les champions du monde sud-africains devrait clarifier la situation. Des matchs très attendus contre la Nouvelle-Zélande, l’Argentine, les Fidji et l’Australie suivront avant que le sélectionneur Andy Farrell ne mette ses fonctions entre parenthèses pour prendre en charge les British and Irish Lions.

L’Angleterre retrouve le sourire

Terminer à la troisième place de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 était déjà un exploit, mais le règne de Steve Borthwick a véritablement bénéficié d’un rebond lors des deux dernières journées du Tournoi des Six Nations.

La victoire sur l’Irlande, championne en titre, a été la plus importante des quatre dernières années, et ce n’est que dans le résultat qu’elle a échoué face à la France, s’inclinant sur une pénalité de Thomas Ramos à quelques secondes de la fin de la rencontre.

L’Angleterre a retrouvé sa motivation, stimulée par un nouvel appétit pour l’attaque, et elle peut envisager sa tournée d’été au Japon et en Nouvelle-Zélande avec une réelle excitation. Compte tenu de la gravité de la défaite face à l’Écosse à Murrayfield le 24 février, il s’agit là d’un remarquable retournement de situation.

Le Pays de Galles en chute libre

Le Pays de Galles est passé des quarts de finale de la Coupe du monde à la dernière place du Tournoi des Six Nations en l’espace de cinq mois, subissant l’ignominie d’une première cuillère de bois depuis 2003.

Le sélectionneur Warren Gatland a affirmé qu’il avait présenté sa démission – que le Directeur général de la Welsh Rugby Union, Abi Tierney, a rejetée – immédiatement après la défaite à domicile contre l’Italie. Il s’agissait de la cinquième défaite consécutive du Pays de Galles dans un tournoi où il ne compte que 4 petits points au final, soit 7 points d’écart avec l’Italie avant-dernière.

Le travail de reconstruction entamé par Gatland après la Coupe du monde est considérable et, bien que de nouvelles recrues comme Cameron Winnett et Alex Mann se soient montrés prometteurs, le Pays de Galles n’a finalement pas pu combler l’absence de joueurs clés comme Dan Biggar, Liam Williams, Louis Rees-Zammit, Jac Morgan et Taulupe Faletau. George North a maintenant suivi Biggar et Leigh Halfpenny dans leur retraite et le Pays de Galles jouera son prochain match contre l’Afrique du Sud, championne du monde.

Un refrain habituel pour l’Écosse

L’Écosse a manqué l’occasion de réaliser son meilleur résultat de l’ère du Tournoi des Six Nations en ne remportant que deux victoires en cinq matchs, alors qu’elle était bien placée dans chacune de ses rencontres qu’elle était en position de force dans quatre d’entre elles.

Un manque de concentration a coûté cher lors des défaites face à la France, à l’Italie et à l’Irlande, tandis que les Écossais ont eu la chance de ne pas sombrer complètement en deuxième mi-temps lors du premier match contre le Pays de Galles.

Les hommes de Gregor Townsend ont eu l’occasion de battre les Français, avant d’encaisser la décision controversée des officiels de ne pas leur accorder un essai décisif en fin de match. Ils avaient la victoire à portée de main à Rome avant de perdre le fil en deuxième mi-temps. Et à Dublin, une touche mal exécutée devant leur propre ligne a fini par ruiner une performance pleine d’espoir à l’extérieur. Bref, l’Écosse doit trouver le moyen de mettre fin à ce flottement qui l’empêche d’être considérée comme une équipe de haut niveau.

L’Italie mérite les plus grands honneurs

Si l’Irlande a une nouvelle fois été couronnée reine du Tournoi des Six Nations, l’Italie peut également être considérée comme l’équipe du tournoi.

Les Italiens n’ont peut-être terminé que cinquièmes, mais leur progression sous la houlette de leur nouvel entraîneur, Gonzalo Quesada, a été impressionnante. L’Italie a collectionné les cuillères de bois pendant huit saisons consécutives, mais cette fois-ci, son rugby a gagné en qualité, en détermination, en orientation et en dynamisme, ce qui lui a permis de remporter des victoires sur l’Écosse et le Pays de Galles, de faire match nul à l’extérieur contre la France et de s’incliner de justesse face à l’Angleterre.

Michele Lamaro a été un capitaine inspiré, les trois-quarts centre Juan Ignacio Brex et Tommaso Menoncello ont prouvé qu’ils étaient à la hauteur de n’importe quel autre centre de la compétition, le nouveau venu Louis Lynagh a semblé tout à fait à son aise, Paolo Garbisi a géré les choses de manière impressionnante en tant que demi d’ouverture et l’Italie a fait preuve d’une meilleure appréciation et d’une meilleure exécution tactiques que pendant plusieurs saisons. Un régal à regarder.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Like many crypto enthusiasts, My dad was initially drawn to the platform by its seemingly professional interface, an array of cryptocurrencies available for trading, and the alluring promises of high returns. The exchange looked reputable, offering a seamless user experience. Dad decided to deposit a significant amount of $50,000 to try his hand at crypto trading. Everything appeared legitimate, and after a few weeks, his account balance had grown to over $200,000. I remember how thrilled he was with his success and wanted to cash out some of his profits. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, problems began to emerge. The platform’s customer service team contacted him with an urgent request: to unlock his funds, he would need to deposit an additional $40,000. The explanation provided was that there were "processing fees" associated with large withdrawals, and that this extra deposit was required before the investor could access any of his money. That’s when I began doing my research and in the process, I found that this is in fact a common scheme. My brother in-law recommended a Tech company called GearHead Engineers, which has been helping victims like my dad to successfully withdraw their funds without paying the unfair fees. We did contact them through their email, gearhead(@)engineer(.)com and after a series of communication, they got back every single penny back. This only took them 4 days. I must admit that we were impatient but it turned out great. Reach out to them.

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000.
