Le demi d’ouverture anglais Marcus Smith fait partie de ces joueurs capables d’emballer un match « quand rien ne se passe », l’a complimenté le capitaine sud-africain Siya Kolisi, vendredi, à la veille du test-match entre l’Angleterre et les Springboks à Twickenham.

« Il est incroyable, on ne peut pas le nier », a déclaré devant la presse le troisième-ligne sud-africain. « Je l’ai affronté en Coupe d’Europe et il fait partie de ces gens doués qui peuvent faire quelque chose quand rien ne se passe », a ajouté l’ex-joueur du Racing 92.

« Si vous l’arrêtez, il continuera à revenir à la charge et c’est ce qu’on attend (d’un grand joueur) », a déclaré le capitaine des doubles champions du monde en titre, qui partage la même société de management que l’Anglais.

    Springbok captain Siya Kolisi on Marcus Smith’s growth as a player

    The Springboks might have inside knowledge of Marcus Smith’s “strengths and weaknesses”, but they must be street-smart in dealing with the unpredictable playmaker.

    À 25 ans, Marcus Smith s’impose comme le choix numéro un du XV de la Rose à l’ouverture, malgré la concurrence de George Ford et en dépit des défaites subies en novembre contre la Nouvelle-Zélande (24-22) et l’Australie (42-37).

    Le N.10 des Harlequins sera sous étroite surveillance samedi (18h40) à Twickenham face à des Sud-Africains qui pensent bien le connaître. L’entraîneur de la défense Jerry Flannery et le centre Andre Esterhuizen l’ont notamment côtoyé chez les Harlequins, le club de l’Anglais.

    « Ils connaissent ses forces et ses faiblesses », a déclaré Mzwandile Stick, l’entraîneur des arrières. « Il (Smith) peut vous mettre en difficulté avec son jeu au pied et si vous lui donnez du temps et de l’espace pour respirer, il vous punira. Nous savons que c’est un demi d’ouverture de classe mondiale », a-t-il reconnu.

    Durant le dernier Tournoi des Six Nations, Smith avait notamment privé l’Irlande de Grand Chelem en inscrivant à la sirène le drop de la victoire (23-22). Contre l’Australie, le week-end dernier, il a été impliqué dans quatre des cinq essais anglais.

    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.

    Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

    For the past three years, I've been involved in Forex trading, constantly learning new strategies and honing my skills. Along the way, I’ve come across many opportunities, but one particular online trading contest left me shaken and wiser. What appeared to be a legitimate contest with a grand prize turned out to be an elaborate scam. I’d like to share my experience to help others avoid a similar trap. It started with an online ad promoting a Forex contest. The hosting company seemed reputable, the prize was attractive, and the website looked professional. Eager to join, I paid a $1,000 registration fee. Soon after, I got an email saying I’d qualified for the next round but to proceed, I needed to cover $2,000 in shipping costs for the prize. Believing it was worth it, I paid. But after that, communication stopped. No prize. No response. Suspicious, I started researching and found out that many others had been caught in the same scheme. I had fallen victim to a professional scam and lost a total of $10,000. Feeling overwhelmed, I began looking for help. That’s when I found a digital recovery service specializing in online scams. I provided all my evidence, and they began working on my case. Thanks to their expertise, they were able to trace the transaction and recover my funds. This experience taught me the importance of verifying everything before making financial commitments online. I hope my story raises awareness about online trading scams and helps others avoid them. Be cautious if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
