Scott Barrett a joué aux côtés ou face à quelques des plus grands noms du rugby, mais le nouveau capitaine des All Blacks en cite deux en particulier quand on l’interroge sur les joueurs les plus redoutés sur les points de rencontre.

Barrett a pris la relève de Sam Cane en tant que capitaine de la Nouvelle-Zélande en 2024, peu après s’est définitivement fait une place en 2e ligne, brisant l’emblématique paire Sam WhitelockBrodie Retallick, associés depuis tellement longtemps.

Sept fois vainqueur du Super Rugby, Barrett se souvient bien de l’impact de Retallick sur le jeu, lui qui a souvent senti l’impact du Joueur de l’année World Rugby 2014 sur le terrain. Interrogé sur les joueurs qu’il aime le moins croiser dans un ruck, le nom de Retallick est le premier à surgir.

« Localement, ou historiquement, je pense que c’est Brodie Retallick », s’est marré Scott Barrett dans le podcast Aoteroa Rugby Pod, spécialisé dans le rugby néo-zélandais.

« Il est du genre à te cibler. Si tu es au-dessus du ballon, c’est de là qu’est venue sa réputation, pour certains de ses déblayages. Notamment plus tôt dans sa carrière, quand on pouvait percuter un peu plus à l’épaule. Il amène une dimension très physique dans les rucks.

« Dans l’équipe actuelle, je dirais Ethan Blackadder. À l’entraînement, il pèse.

« Sans doute qu’avec ces deux-là, si tu essaies de protéger le ballon, tu as intérêt à bien le verrouiller sinon tu te fais éjecter. »

Également capitaine des Crusaders, Barrett entretient une relation de confiance et de longue date avec le Scott Robertson, le nouveau sélectionneur des All Blacks, auparavant entraîneur de la franchise de Christchurch. Le 2e ligne faisait figure de favori pour reprendre le brassard.

Il a pesé de tout son poids pour désigner son frère Jordie et Ardie Savea, élu Joueur de l’année Word Rugby en 2023, comme vice-capitaines de l’équipe.

Ce trio regroupe les trois joueurs certains d’être titulaires avec la Nouvelle-Zélande, qui démarre sa saison ce week-end avec la réception de l’Angleterre à Dunedin.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
