Le XV de France se rend à Londres samedi pour défier l’Angleterre lors de la deuxième journée du Tournoi des Six Nations avec en ligne de mire la volonté de confirmer son rôle de favori dans la compétition et poursuivre l’excellente série face aux Anglais.

L’opposition sera bien plus relevée que l’échauffement face à de tendres Gallois lors de la première journée (43-0), quand bien même la dernière visite des Bleus à Twickenham, en 2023, avait tourné au triomphe (53-10).

Ce match est déjà hors des mémoires, ont assuré d’une seule et même voix les joueurs et le staff tout au long de la semaine.

Dans une année impaire a priori pas favorable aux victoires dans le Tournoi pour eux, les Bleus ont toujours la pression de remporter un deuxième titre depuis le début de l’ère Galthié, en 2020. Et pour s’offrir une éventuelle ‘finale’ contre les Irlandais à Dublin lors de la quatrième journée, la route passe par une victoire contre les Anglais.

Un succès permettrait aussi d’étendre la supériorité du XV de France sur celui de la Rose comme rarement : ce serait le quatrième succès de suite, une série réalisée seulement deux fois dans l’histoire, entre 1975 et 1979 ainsi qu’entre 1995 et 1998. Et pour retrouver la trace de deux succès consécutifs dans l’antre du rugby, il faut remonter à 1981 et 1983.

Les Bleus semblent avoir les armes pour s’imposer contre des Anglais dans le doute

L’objectif semble atteignable pour les hommes de Fabien Galthié : leurs adversaires restent sur sept revers consécutifs contre des équipes de l’élite du rugby mondial. La série a débuté en mars 2024 chez les Bleus (33-31) et s’est étirée le week-end dernier en Irlande (27-22).

Seul le Japon, battu en juin et en novembre (52-17 et 59-14), a permis de sauver l’honneur du sélectionneur Steve Borthwick dans l’intervalle.

Si les Bleus sont privés de certains cadres comme pour le premier match (Ollivon, Fickou, Flament), ils vont retrouver Damian Penaud sur l’aile. Sans Romain Ntamack, suspendu après son rouge contre les Gallois, Matthieu Jalibert sera aligné à l’ouverture pour une nouvelle page de son histoire contrariée avec le XV de France.

Ils semblent donc avoir largement les armes pour s’imposer à Londres.

Face à eux, le capitaine anglais Maro Itoje prévient : « Nous voulons être collectivement agressifs, être dans l’avancée, aller au contact et les stopper dans leur élan ».

Rendez-vous aux chandelles

Les Français devront également encore rassurer sur un secteur : la réception des coups de pied sur les chandelles. Depuis le désastre du quart de finale du Mondial-2023 dans ce domaine, le doute persiste sur ses ballons à double tranchant.

Ils le sont encore plus depuis quelques mois et l’interdiction des ‘escortes’, ces joueurs qui se mettaient sur la trajectoire des adversaires pour les ralentir.

Contre les Gallois, c’est un des rares secteurs où les Bleus n’ont pas été supérieurs.

À l’inverse, les Anglais ont multiplié les coups de pied, particulièrement les chandelles contre les Irlandais : en moyenne, un jeu au pied pour 3,5 passes à la main.

Interrogé sur le risque d’une pluie de chandelles, l’ouvreur Thomas Ramos a confirmé en conférence de presse : « On s’y attend. Ils sont capables, notamment la charnière, de mettre de bons ballons hauts sous pression, donc on a fait un focus sur ce point-là. (…) Notre objectif est de les laisser le plus loin de notre ligne d’en-but, donc d’aller jouer le plus haut possible ».

Les Bleus auront ensuite deux semaines pour préparer la troisième journée du Tournoi, avec un déplacement dans la capitale italienne.

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 decided to take a chance and reached out to them. From the very first interaction, the team at Hack Buster Recovery was professional and empathetic. They listened to my story, asked for all the necessary details, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me hope. Over the next few days, they kept me updated on their progress, explaining each step of the recovery process in a way that was easy to understand. 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. Hack Buster Recovery is a true lifesaver, and I can’t recommend them enough. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope and reach out to them.

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
