Un Tournoi des Six Nations aux multiples enjeux

L’année 2025 a des airs de transition pour l’équipe de France des moins de 20 ans. Les vice-champions du monde attaquent un nouveau cycle.

« On a une nouvelle génération 2005 et 2006 et un nouveau staff que, pour la plupart, nous avons connu en équipe de France quand on était plus jeunes », explique Antoine Deliance, troisième ligne du LOU qui était capitaine des Bleuets lors du match contre l’Italie (victoire 40-29), en novembre dernier.

Pour l’heure, tout semble rouler du côté des Bleuets avant leur premier gros défi. « Il y a une très bonne connexion. On a fait plusieurs stages, entre novembre et maintenant, et tout se passe bien », ajoute Deliance.

« On veut aussi chercher à emmagasiner un maximum d’expérience collective pour préparer toute la fin de saison », complète le Bayonnais Xan Mousques.

Des retrouvailles très attendues

Même si tout semble nouveau, hors de question de viser autre chose que le titre sur ce Six Nations U20 2025. « On en attend beaucoup et on a des objectifs élevés. On ne se cache pas : on veut gagner ce Tournoi », explique Xan Mousques.

Ce Tournoi sera notamment marqué par des retrouvailles grandioses. « Sur ce premier bloc, on a un gros défi qui nous attend en Angleterre, sachant qu’on a perdu la finale [de Coupe du Monde U20] cet été contre eux. Pour eux, il s’agira du premier match à domicile depuis leur victoire. Ce sera donc un très gros défi. »

« Il leur reste une grosse ossature [de la Coupe du Monde] surtout devant où ils avaient quelques 2005. C’est une équipe qui sera très, très dure à prendre. »

Après ce match au « goût de revanche », les Bleuets auront aussi un déplacement costaud à Cork, pour y affronter l’Irlande. « Ce sont un peu les deux meilleures nations au niveau U20 », reprend Mousques. En somme, les Français auront le droit à un Tournoi qui montera crescendo.

« Un bel événement » pour se rôder

La compétition débutera par un match à domicile contre le pays de Galles. « Ça va être un bel événement, une belle expérience dans le stade de Vannes [La Rabine] qui est un très beau stade avec une belle ferveur », se réjouit Xan Mousques, habitué aux ambiances chaudes de Jean-Dauger. « On le voit en Top 14 tous les week-ends. Il nous tarde d’aller découvrir cet univers breton, c’est cool. »

Malgré cela, la fête ne sera belle que si la victoire est au bout de ce match qui s’annonce « rude et serré » d’après Antoine Deliance.

« Sur le Six Nations, tous les matchs sont compliqués, on le sait, que ce soit chez nous ou à l’extérieur. Mais pour l’instant, on se prépare et on se concentre sur notre propre jeu pour être le plus en place possible et faire les meilleures performances possibles. »

Et cette préparation passe, notamment, par des entraînements combinés avec le XV de France qui permettent aux Bleuets de s’aguerrir auprès de leurs ainés.

« Cela nous apporte énormément. Le XV de France, c’est très fort, ça joue vite. Tout est plus fort et plus rapide. Nous, ça nous permet aussi de voir où on a des trous et ce que l’on doit travailler encore plus. Cela nous permet de nous tester contre plus fort, donc ce n’est que du positif. »

Rendez-vous donc le samedi 1 février à la Rabine pour voir les fruits de ce travail à l’œuvre.

Fissler Confidential: Manie Libbok to exit Stormers?

VERIFIED CRYPTOCURRENCY RESTORATION/FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERY(at)TECH-CENTER. COM


As a designer, I’m always on the lookout for new tools to improve my workflow. So, when I saw an ad on LinkedIn for a “revolutionary” design software, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. The ad promised to streamline my design process with amazing features at an unbeatable price. Without a second thought, I clicked the link and made the purchase. But soon after buying the software, I realized it was a scam. The software never worked as promised, and when I tried to reach out for support, the company vanished without a trace. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless. 5,000 NZD, a significant amount for anyone, especially a freelancer, was gone, and there was no way to get it back… or so I thought. I was at a loss for what to do next. That’s when I discovered FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. At first, I wasn’t sure if they could help. Could anyone actually recover money lost to online scams? But, desperate and with no other options, I decided to reach out. I contacted FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, they explained the process in detail, reassured me that they would do everything in their power to recover my funds, and kept me updated every step of the way. To my amazement, just two days after I reached out, they successfully recovered 4,800 NZD of the 5,000 NZD I had lost. The relief I felt when I saw that money back in my account was indescribable. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Since then, I’ve made it a point to share my experience with other designers in the community. I want to raise awareness about the scams that are out there and remind others to be cautious when browsing for new software. Scammers can target anyone, even professionals like us. But I also want to let fellow designers know that if they do fall victim to fraud, they don’t have to give up. FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY is there to help. Now, I always tell others: Be skeptical of ads that seem too good to be true, especially on platforms like LinkedIn. But if you do get scammed, there’s hope. Don’t hesitate to contact FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERY(at)TECH-CENTER. CO M, (WhatsApp): +1 (740)705-0711. They helped me get my money back in just two days, and they can help you too.

Warm greetings,

Mr. Gilbert Jonathan

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. If you find yourself in a similar situation or involved in a suspicious investment platform, contact RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS
