Le sélectionneur de l’équipe féminine de l’Angleterre John Mitchell a décidé de nommer Zoe Aldcroft capitaine des Red Roses.

La deuxième ligne de Gloucester-Hartpury, qui avait déjà endossé ce rôle durant le dernier WXV au Canada remporté par son équipe, prend la succession de Marlie Packer. Cette dernière garde tout de même des prérogatives puisqu’elle est désigné vice-capitaine en compagnie de la trois-quarts centre Megan Jones.

« C’est un honneur et une récompense incroyable de prendre le capitanat des Red Roses », a réagi Aldcroft, 58 sélections. « C’est un privilège de recevoir une telle marque de confiance de la part de John Mitchell et du staff.

« Prendre la suite de Marlie signifie beaucoup pour moi. Je lui suis extrêmement reconnaissante pour les connaissances et les conseils qu’elle a partagés avec moi au fil des ans, et je sais que je serai bien soutenue par elle, par Meg et par l’ensemble de notre groupe de direction ».

Marlie Packer, capitaine invaincue mais flanker menacée

La presse anglaise perçoit cette nomination comme une marque de défiance envers Packer. Invaincue comme capitaine depuis qu’elle a succédé à Sarah Hunter en 2023, la flanker de 35 ans se retrouve confrontée à une concurrence de plus en plus vive à son poste.

De plus, si elle conserve ses qualités dans l’affrontement directe et demeure une menace dans les rucks, Packer souffre d’un manque de mobilité, pénalisant dans le jeu que Mitchell cherche à mettre en place.

Zoe Aldcroft, élue meilleure joueuse du monde en 2021, peut elle jouer deuxième ligne, son poste préférentiel ces dernières saisons, mais également à tous les postes de la 3e ligne. Elle a par ailleurs déjà dirigé l’Angleterre, notamment contre l’Ecosse lors du Tournoi des Six Nations 2024, et est la capitaine de Gloucester-Hartpury, le club double champion d’Angleterre en titre.

Les Anglaises, N.1 mondiales, abordent une année 2025 importantissime avec la Coupe du Monde en ligne de mire, qu’elles disputeront à domicile avec l’étiquette de grandes favorites. La compétition démarrera le 22 août pour les Red Roses, qui défieront les Etats-Unis pour le match d’ouverture.

USA embracing ‘pressure’ in final event before World Championship

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin. Although I was skeptical, my desperation pushed me to contact them for help.From the very first interaction with GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , I was impressed by their understanding and willingness to help. Their team guided me through the recovery process, providing the support I needed during this challenging time. They explained each step clearly and kept me informed throughout the entire journey.

This experience not only restored my financial situation but also taught me invaluable lessons about the importance of conducting thorough research before making any investments. I now have a solid investment strategy in place and am much more cautious about where I allocate my funds.I want to emphasize the importance of being vigilant in the world of cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin offers tremendous potential as an investment, it also attracts scammers looking to exploit unsuspecting individuals.
