Transferts : le pilier des Wallabies Taniela Tupou pisté par Pau

Selon les informations de RugbyPass, Taniela Tupou pourrait poser ses valises en France. La Section Paloise aurait formulé une offre concrète pour s’attacher les services du pilier droit des Wallabies, âgé de 29 ans.

Le solide Wallaby rejoindrait le club béarnais à l’issue de la tournée des Lions britanniques et irlandais, prévue en 2025. Grâce aux amendements apportés à la “Giteau Law” en 2022, Tupou resterait éligible pour représenter l’Australie malgré un départ à l’étranger.

Formé à Auckland, Tupou s’est fait connaître dès l’adolescence grâce à des vidéos virales de ses charges impressionnantes sous le maillot du Sacred Heart College. Il a ensuite rejoint les Queensland Reds, où il a effectué ses débuts en Super Rugby en 2016. Sous les ordres de Nick Stiles puis de Brad Thorn, il est rapidement devenu un élément incontournable du pack de la franchise du Queensland, totalisant 90 apparitions.

Tupou annoncé à 148 kg sur le site des Waratahs

Après près de dix ans à Brisbane, le “Tongan Thor” a signé chez les Melbourne Rebels en 2024. Mais la disparition programmée de la franchise en Super Rugby Pacific à l’issue de la saison l’a poussé à rebondir chez les Waratahs. Il y évolue actuellement, et compte six titularisations sur les huit premières journées. Toutefois, son contrat ne court que sur un an, et la province de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud n’a pas encore annoncé de prolongation.

La Section Paloise, en quête de puissance en première ligne, pourrait bien réaliser un joli coup sur le marché des transferts. Le club cherche activement un successeur à Harry Williams, qui s’apprête à rentrer en Angleterre pour s’engager avec les Harlequins cet été. La formation béarnaise a déjà frappé fort en recrutant deux figures majeures des Pumas : le talonneur de Leicester Julián Montoya et le troisième ligne de Toulon Facundo Isa. Elle entend manifestement continuer à renforcer son paquet d’avants avec des joueurs d’envergure internationale.

Affiché à 148 kg sur les feuilles de match des Waratahs, Tupou a jusque-là décliné plusieurs propositions venues de l’étranger pour rester dans les petits papiers des sélectionneurs australiens. Reste à voir s’il maintiendra cette position au-delà de 2025.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
