Angleterre : concentration maximale pour battre la France

Lors des Summer Series féminines entre le Pays de Galles et l'Angleterre au Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi à Parme, en Italie, mardi 9 juillet 2024 (Photo de Ben Brady / Inpho).

Steph Else, numéro 8 de l’équipe féminine d’Angleterre U20, a exhorté ses coéquipières à se concentrer sur leur « discipline et sur l’essentiel » alors qu’elles tentent de remporter une rare victoire dans la catégorie jeune contre la France, dimanche 14 juillet à Parme.

Steph Else, sacrée Jeune Joueuse de Rugby Féminin de la saison en Premiership, faisait partie de l’équipe qui s’est inclinée 74-0 contre les Bleuettes à Rouen en avril.

C’est la plus grande défaite jamais subie par une équipe féminine d’Angleterre et la joueuse de Gloucester-Hartpury a admis cette semaine que cette défaite avait laissé l’équipe dans « une grande souffrance ».

Cependant, Else, qui a mené l’Angleterre à la victoire 55-24 contre le Pays de Galles mardi dans le cadre du Summer Series féminin, estime que l’équipe s’est améliorée depuis.

Elle est convaincue que les Anglaises ont ce qu’il faut pour remporter une deuxième victoire dans l’histoire de cette rencontre, dans le nord de l’Italie.

« Je pense que nous commençons à monter en puissance », dit-elle à RugbyPass. « Lors du premier match (des Summer Series contre l’Irlande), je ne pense pas que nous ayons enclenché la troisième vitesse.

« Et je pense que maintenant nous commençons à passer la vitesse supérieure, et je trouve que ça se voit vraiment dans notre jeu et dans les résultats que nous obtenons aussi. »

Interrogée sur ce que l’Angleterre doit faire pour battre la France, Else ajoute : « Il faut que nous soyons au point sur nos fondamentaux.

« Parfois, nous nous sommes presque laissé aller au niveau de la discipline. Je pense qu’au début du match, c’est comme ça que le Pays de Galles est entré dans le match.

« Mais une fois que nous avons réglé cette question, que nous avons clarifié les choses et gardé nos mains hors du ruck ou d’autres choses de ce genre, nous avons commencé à avancer et le score a continué à refléter la façon dont nous voulions jouer.

« Mais oui, je pense que c’est juste une question de discipline et d’application de nos fondamentaux. »

Else est satisfaite de la performance de l’équipe contre le Pays de Galles et pense que la synergie offensive entre les avants et les arrières s’est améliorée au cours des deux matchs en Italie.

« Nous n’avons pas atteint le niveau que nous souhaitions lors du match contre l’armée (une victoire 99-5) ou lors des deux premiers matchs de la saison », explique-t-elle. « Maintenant, nous montrons vraiment ce que nous pouvons faire en tant qu’équipe et à quel point nous sommes capables de nous entendre.

« Je pense que [contre le Pays de Galles] nous avons montré beaucoup de liens entre les arrières et les avants, et je pense que ça a été notre principale difficulté tout au long de la saison, la cohésion entre les arrières et les avants. »

Plus généralement, Steph Else explique le retard de l’Angleterre sur la France au niveau des catégories jeunes par le temps que les joueuses passent à s’entraîner ensemble.

De nombreuses joueuses de l’équipe d’Angleterre de LJ Lewis font déjà partie de l’équipe première des clubs de PWR et participent également au Super Rugby du British Universities and College Sport (BUCS), côté études et engagements internationaux.

Else, par exemple, a disputé 19 matchs de championnat et de coupe pour Gloucester-Hartpury au cours de la saison 2023-24, en plus d’apparaître dans le BUCS Super Rugby avec Hartpury.

« Elles ont beaucoup plus de temps ensemble que nous », observe-t-elle. « Je pense qu’avec le temps dont nous disposons, nous sommes une très bonne équipe.

« Mais elles ont l’occasion d’être ensemble beaucoup plus souvent tout au long de l’année. Alors que nous sommes avec nos clubs de PWR, nous sommes avec le BUCS, et évidemment nous n’avons pas les moyens d’être ensemble autant que nous le devrions.

« Mais je pense que nous nous débrouillons très bien compte tenu du temps que nous avons passé ensemble. »

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

I live in an unstable region, so I'm always ready for surprise curfews or my aunt dropping by uninvited to borrow some cooking oil. To protect my future from both, I swept $530,000 under the floor in Bitcoin- my emergency parachute.Well, things went downhill. Protesters filled the streets like a rowdy rave, with pepper spray in place of glow sticks. In the chaos, security personnel took my laptop and everything that wasn't bolted down. That's where I store the keys to my Bitcoin wallet. When I say I swallowed a brick, I am not kidding.I pictured myself telling my future self, who lived under a tarp, how I used to have half a million dollars but lost it since I had forgotten to encrypt my drive. "Great job, Past Me," I would be saying while heating canned beans over a candle.But fate, or possibly my guardian angel who was finally done laughing at me, intervened. During a hushed meeting with a journalist friend (we whispered like we were plotting an espionage thriller), he mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. These folks were not just tech geniuses; they practically wore digital capes.I phoned, and the reassuring voice I received was so reassuring, I almost asked them to fix my love life too. They labored in their homes with the frenzy of an explosives specialist defusing a bomb. They constructed my wallet information from recovery fragments I barely remember creating. It was like magic shows where magicians extract bills from a hat, except the hat has been confiscated by the authorities.Thirteen days passed, and I received the call. My money had been returned. I was so relieved that I hugged my aunt, who naturally took the chance to request additional cooking oil.Tech Cyber Force Recovery did not just save my Bitcoin; they saved my future. And they gave me a newfound respect for proper backups and encryption. If you are in a tricky spot or just want to avoid awkward family requests during every political crisis, call them. They are the real deal and possibly part wizard, part therapist.CALL OR WHATSAPP THEM THOUGH+.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7

Waratahs turn to 'tough bugger' for captaincy with more history on the line

I am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished.  he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money. Seeking assistance, I discovered RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS. They assessed my circumstances and confirmed my worst fear: I had become a victim of a pig-butchering romance scam. I was disheartened, as I genuinely believed I had found love again following a difficult divorce. Fortunately, RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS specializes in recovering Bitcoin sent to fraudulent or scam wallets. After collaborating with RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS, they successfully recovered my scammed Bitcoin. They are my permanent solution for cybersecurity. I strongly endorse RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS for crypto tracing and recovery.

'We had a good plan, we saw the opportunity to beat the Sharks': Leo Cullen

I think Leinster had a plan to win both matches.

The defensive pressure was impressive and it made things hard for sharks with the greasy ball. That’s not an academy team though, a lot of those guys have two SA tours under their belt and a load of Leinster caps. There were a few new caps but so few as to not effect the system. Gunne was a first start but he has had a good few appearances and is a talent in play and attitide.


Sharks reaction to some early errors seemed to shout “Here we go again”.

As good as Leinster played and as hard as they made it, I assumed that Sharks would have the quality to find a way. Leinster slowed the rucks just enough to cause Sharks some issues and overruns etc.

The great Eben Etzebeth was missing and he is clearly great in motivating and driving a team as well as in play. Some thing more than Etzebeth missing. The Leinster players not playing today will be cheering and sucking energy from that performance as much as if they were there. That’s the spirit in the club. Anyone can see how bonded and loyal Snyman, Barrett and Slimani are in a small period of time. I think Leinster have a special setup up there, but Sharks are definately below average in belief, confidence and spirit based on Saturday.

Obviously a straight forward kick for a draw was available at the end but I don’t think that would have been acceptable and Sharks must go for the win at home.


Note: Zebo said in coverage that if Erasmus has the reigns with Sharks they would be no1 in URC and Champions Cup ‘By a distance’. I don’t agree with that ofcourse but in between sucking up to Erasmus he is clearly pinpointing what he believes is a coaching issue.
