Pourquoi la France met sa meilleure équipe contre l’Espagne en ouverture du championnat du monde U20

LE CAP, AFRIQUE DU SUD - 14 JUILLET : l'équipe de France chante son hymne national pendant la finale du Championnat U20 World Rugby 2023 entre l'Irlande et la France, le 14 juillet 2023 au Cap, en Afrique du Sud. (Photo par World Rugby/World Rugby via Getty Images)

Pour son entrée dans le Championnat du Monde des Moins de 20 ans, le coach Sébastien Calvet a choisi volontairement d’aligner une grosse équipe.

Non que jouer contre l’Espagne, promue du Trophy 2023 et qui débute à ce niveau, présente un défi colossal, mais ce premier match est stratégique en plusieurs points.

« On a pu récupérer deux matchs qu’ils ont fait récemment », révèle Sébastien Calvet, le coach de l’équipe de France des moins de 20 ans. « On a des données claires sur cette équipe. C’est comme toutes les nations émergentes, il ne faut pas trop les sous-estimer car ils progressent très vite. Ils vont nous poser des problèmes sur les phases de contact. Défensivement, ils vont venir monter très haut et essayer de couper la possibilité d’enchaîner les mouvements et de déplacer les ballons. On les a bien analysés. »

Une répétition générale avant la Nouvelle-Zélande

Dans ce contexte, le staff a préféré jouer la prudence et prendre les devants en alignant tout de suite une grosse équipe.

« C’est ce que l’on imagine être la grosse ossature pour affronter les Baby Blacks la semaine prochaine », explique Sébastien Calvet.

« Si les joueurs répondent présents, l’idée est de ne pas passer à côté de ce premier match qui est important d’abord pour nous, pour entrer dans la compétition, pour trouver des repères et des connexions. Mais aussi un match très important pour l’image qu’on va donner à nos futurs adversaires. C’est une ossature qui, dans les plans de départ, sera fortement reconduite si les joueurs répondent présents pour le match contre les Baby Blacks. »

Une sorte de répétition générale donc, avant d’affronter le gros morceau de la Poule A contre la Nouvelle-Zélande le 4 juillet, récent vainqueur du Rugby Championship U20 début mai.

« Nos attentes sont claires », développe Calvet. « D’abord c’est assurer les bases car on attaque une compétition et il faut veiller à ce que les fondamentaux soient en place : la conquête, l’efficacité au contact. Puis monter en gamme sur la maîtrise de notre projet, que les joueurs aillent chercher la connexion entre eux.

« Toute la saison on a eu des équipes changeantes, quasiment d’un match à l’autre à chaque fois. La dernière fois que les joueurs ont matché ensemble, c’était contre la Géorgie (début mai, ndlr). Dans ce stage, il n’y avait que 60% du groupe présent ici. Il faut que les joueurs développent la fameuse expérience collective. »

Un constat partagé par le capitaine demi d’ouverture Hugo Reus. « Les repères collectifs vont être importants pour la suite ; on en manque cruellement depuis le Tournoi et le stage en Géorgie où tous les mecs n’étaient pas là », reconnaît-il.

« Les premiers entraînements et les premiers matchs vont être très importants pour la suite de la compétition pour arriver à jouer notre jeu et déplacer le ballon. On sait qu’on ne sera pas les plus solides devants ni derrière. Il va falloir trouver des solutions.

« L’expérience collective est ce qui a fait la différence l’année dernière ; on espère que ce sera aussi la clé cette année. »

It was supposed to be a dream trip, a long-awaited journey from the USA to China to visit family and explore new places. I had spent months planning every detail, from the itinerary to the accommodations. But what started as excitement quickly turned into a nightmare when I fell victim to a fake flight ticket scam, losing $580,000 in the process. The betrayal I felt was indescribable. I had trusted the website, which looked legitimate, and even received what appeared to be a confirmation email. It wasn’t until I arrived at the airport that I realized I had been scammed. The ticket was fake, and my money was gone.I felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and helplessness. How could I have been so careless? I had worked so hard to save for this trip, and now it was all gone. I reported the incident to the authorities, but I was told that recovering the funds would be nearly impossible. That’s when I stumbled upon Hack Buster Recovery. At first, I was skeptical after all, I had already been scammed once. But I was desperate, and their reviews seemed genuine.

I was amazed by their expertise and dedication.To my absolute astonishment, within a week, Hack Buster Recovery successfully recovered my $580,000. I couldn’t believe it. The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. They not only got my money back but also restored my faith in humanity. Their team went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of, and I will forever be grateful for their incredible work.This taught me a valuable lesson about being cautious online, but it also showed me that there are still good people out there willing to help.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

It all started when I was lured into investing by an FX trader I met on Instagram. The trader seemed professional and confident, sharing stories of massive returns from their investments. They promised that I could make five times that back within seven days by investing a certain amount. The offer was too good to pass up, and it was a golden opportunity to grow my money. After all, the trader had proof of their success and seemed trustworthy. I decided to invest, and over the next five weeks, I paid a total of $7,200 to the trader's company. Each time I tried to withdraw my funds or the supposed earnings I’d accumulated, they came up with new excuses and reasons why I needed to pay more money before I could access my earnings. They claimed I had to cover additional fees, taxes, or "security deposits" before processing my withdrawal. At first, I hesitated, but with every new claim, they made it seem like I had no other choice if I wanted to see my money again. It was a frustrating and confusing process, and each time I questioned them, they reassured me that I would get my money soon. Eventually, I realized I had been scammed. I was fed up and desperate, but I didn’t know what to do. That’s when, luckily, I stumbled upon a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They recommended a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of crypto recovery experts who specialize in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent investment schemes. At first, I was hesitant. After all, I’d already been deceived once, and I wasn’t sure if I could trust another company. However, I decided to take the risk and contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery. I shared my transaction history and details with them, and within just seven hours, they asked for my wallet address. To my amazement, I received $6,300 back into my wallet. I can’t express how grateful I am to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for their help. They were professional, prompt, and thorough in their approach, and they truly helped me recover a significant portion of my lost money. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to recovery experts like Tech Cyber Force Recovery. They truly made a difference in my case, and I’m incredibly thankful for their support.You can reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery MAIL Techcybersforcerecovery@cyberservices.com
