Le nouveau sélectionneur des Fidji, Simon Raiwalui, a constitué un groupe d’entraînement de 45 joueurs pour la Coupe du Monde Rugby 2023, composé de plusieurs joueurs vedettes, à l’image de Semi Radradra, et de 10 joueurs non capés. Les Fidjiens entameront leur campagne en France par un match de poule très attendu contre le Pays de Galles à Bordeaux le 10 septembre et ils ont commencé à s’y préparer en dévoilant un groupe d’entraînement puissant.

Les Fijian Drua, qui sont actuellement en train de préparer leur quart de finale du Super Rugby Pacific ce week-end sur le terrain des Crusaders, comptent 23 joueurs dans l’effectif. On relève aussi 13 joueurs issus du Top 14 et un de la Pro D2, cinq du Premiership anglais, un de l’URC, un de la League One japonaise et un du Super Rugby.

Les matchs de préparation commenceront le mois prochain avec des tests contre les Tonga, les Samoa et le Japon avant que les Fidji ne se rendent en Europe pour d’autres rencontres amicales contre la France et l’Angleterre.

Un communiqué indique qu’en raison des blessures de certains joueurs, Raiwalui attendra la fin de la campagne des Drua avant d’annoncer son groupe définitif de 38 joueurs qui partira en stage le 30 juin à Taveuni. « C’est un groupe très équilibré », a déclaré l’entraîneur principal sur fijirugby.com.

« Nous connaissons les différents systèmes dans lesquels ils jouent, en particulier les Drua, si l’on en juge par les résultats qu’ils ont obtenus cette année. Le fait de se retrouver en quarts de finale dès leur deuxième année d’existence rend la sélection de l’équipe encore plus difficile. Tous les joueurs sélectionnés, qu’ils évoluent à l’étranger ou localement, méritent de faire partie de l’équipe des Flying Fijians.

« Nous allons à Taveuni, ce qui sera une expérience unique, pas dans un hôtel cinq étoiles, pas de luxe, simplement en vivant au milieu des gens et en nous rapprochant d’eux. Bien sûr on aura un gros travail à faire, mais il s’agira aussi de nous reconnecter à notre identité de Fidjiens, à la raison d’être des Flying Fijians et à l’objectif que nous nous sommes fixés.

« Le but ultime est de gagner la Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Nous recevrons d’abord les Tonga à domicile, une équipe expérimentée qui a recruté de nouveaux joueurs cette année. Ensuite, nous affronterons les Samoa et le Japon. Ces matchs auront lieu chez nous. Nous aurons une semaine de repos, puis nous nous envolerons pour l’Europe afin de jouer contre la France et l’Angleterre, pour ce qui sera d’excellents matchs de préparation pour une Coupe du monde. »

Gareth Anscombe returns as Gloucester makes 7 changes for Bath

I got a call from a trader for the first time in August 2024. Less than a ”

I got a call from a trader for the first time in August 2024. Less than a year later, through a fabricated process of baiting me with unbelievable profits, and matching my losses, I was in over $185,000. The platform had assigned my personal broker to me, that called me from time to time to tell me about their new offers. And they said he was one of their top brokers, they further told me the broker had made a lot of people so rich. The broker told me there was an insurance that they get on them, every trade that we do that's secured and we could never lose money, he will put in there that it's an insured secure trade, and they buy the insurance for it. so i was assured, I won't lose any money on if we lose. Okay? But the catch is, you have to bring in an additional $25,000 in order to get that secured trade status on your account. I stupidly did this. Once I hit a certain profit level, I tried to remove money from them. That's when they denied me being able to take out my own money. They also told me to pay an additional fee to bring out my money. I was blocked out of my accounts and denied withdrawal even after i contacted them in various ways. Of course they never told me that additional of $25k from the beginning. So when I heard that, then it was pretty obvious to me that they were running a scam.I was very sad and confused after investing a lot. Earlier this year February 15th 2025, i was able to get my invested capital back including profit and the $25k additional fees with the help of the INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD Assets Recovery (You can contact them below). They offer the best in monetary recovery if you are victim of cryptocurrency fraud, binary options fraud, real estate Investment fraud and many more.

Duhan van der Merwe's Lions tour thrown into doubt

As a truck driver who spends long hours on the road, I understand the value of hard work. My job demands long shifts, constant focus, and time away from loved ones.

It felt like a major milestone. I was proud of what I had built, turning my effort into BITCOIN, an asset I believed in. That pride quickly turned into heartbreak. Someone I trusted scammed me out of $85,000 worth of BITCOIN in a single transaction. I was crushed.
