Les raisons qui ont poussé Jordie Barrett à signer au Leinster

Jordie Barrett - PA

Le Leinster a annoncé la signature du trois-quarts centre des All Blacks Jordie Barrett, qui rejoindra les Hurricanes sur une courte durée la saison prochaine.

La première raison qui a convaincu le joueur de 27 ans d’arriver à ce deal, c’est qu’il a signé un nouveau contrat avec New Zealand Rugby jusqu’en 2028, ce qui lui permet de prendre une saison sabbatique en 2025, au cours de laquelle il rejoindra les quadruples champions d’Europe, à Dublin.

Le All Black à 57 sélections sera associé à l’entraîneur principal Jacques Nienaber au Leinster, qui a mené ses coéquipiers à la victoire en octobre de l’année dernière lorsque l’Afrique du Sud a remporté la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 en France.

Barrett jouera également au côté du Springbok RG Snyman, qui devrait quitter le Munster, l’un des adversaires du Leinster, à la fin de la saison.

En plus, son contrat prévoit qu’il arrive en décembre de cette année, qu’il passera six mois avec le Leinster, mais qu’il pourra rejoindre son club des Hurricanes pour la saison 2026.

Son père a joué dans la province

L’autre motivation est d’ordre plus personnel que l’on a compris lorsque l’arrière polyvalent a déclaré que l’Irlande était un « endroit spécial » pour lui et sa famille.

Jordie a en effet raconté qu’il avait passé du temps dans le comté de Meath lorsqu’il était enfant quand son père, Kevin ‘Smiley’ Barrett, jouait pour le club de Athlone, les Buccaneers, lors de la saison 2000-2001.

Le journal local West Meath Independant rapporte que « le père et la mère de [Jordie] – Kevin et Robyn – ont déménagé à Ballinacree à l’automne 1999, où ils géraient une ferme laitière et où Kevin jouait avec les Buccaneers à Athlone ». Jordie n’avait que deux ans et demi à cette époque.

« L’Irlande va être un endroit idéal pour développer mon rugby dans un environnement différent où j’apprendrai beaucoup de choses différentes », a-t-il dit.

« L’Irlande est un endroit spécial pour la famille Barrett. Nous avons tellement de liens familiaux à Oldcastle, dans le comté de Meath et dans tout Dublin. Avoir l’opportunité de retourner en Irlande et de rencontrer des membres de la famille, des amis et des relations qui ont été nouées il y a vingt ans, c’est vraiment cool. »

Un transfert facilité par New Zealand Rugby

Pour le Leinster, cette opportunité arrive à point nommé. « Nous sommes ravis que Jordie ait accepté de nous rejoindre après la tournée néo-zélandaise début décembre, d’autant plus qu’il a choisi le Leinster avant un certain nombre d’autres options très intéressantes », estime Leo Cullen, l’entraîneur du Leinster.

« Jordie est un All Black comptant plus de cinquante capes, doté d’un ensemble de skills exceptionnelles et qui évolue au plus haut niveau du rugby depuis plusieurs saisons. Il a envie de vivre une nouvelle expérience au Leinster et je suis sûr que nous apprendrons beaucoup l’un de l’autre au cours de son séjour parmi nous.

« La famille Barrett a des liens étroits avec l’Irlande et le Leinster en particulier, c’est donc une sorte de retour aux sources pour Jordie !

« Je suis sûr que tous nos supporters seront très enthousiastes à l’idée d’accueillir l’un des meilleurs joueurs du monde et de voir de près ce qu’il apporte à l’équipe.

« Nous aimerions également remercier la Fédération néo-zélandaise de rugby pour son soutien dans le cadre de ce transfert. »

Partager l’expérience

Le Néo-Zélandais a fait sa 100e apparition avec les Hurricanes en mars, après avoir fait ses débuts avec eux en 2017 à l’âge de 20 ans.

Il a débuté sous le maillot numéro 12 samedi 13 avril lors de la victoire des leaders du Super Rugby Pacific face aux Chiefs (36-23), et jouera un rôle central dans la suite de leur campagne.

Ce nouveau contrat sera également un encouragement pour le sélectionneur des All Blacks, Scott Robertson, qui pourra compter sur Barrett jusqu’à la Coupe du monde 2027 en Australie.

« Je suis très reconnaissant à New Zealand Rugby et aux Hurricanes de m’avoir envoyé leurs meilleurs vœux, ce qui est formidable. Je suis très concentré et j’apprécie le temps que je passe actuellement avec les Hurricanes. J’ai hâte d’avoir l’opportunité de revenir chez les Hurricanes, une franchise qui représente beaucoup pour moi », a déclaré Jordie Barrett à l’intention des Hurricanes.

« Le Leinster me donne l’occasion de découvrir un autre type de rugby et de renouer avec une partie de mon enfance. J’espère pouvoir faire profiter les Hurricanes de certaines de mes expériences lorsque je reviendrai.

« Pour moi, c’est très positif. Ce sera pour moi un endroit idéal pour me développer en tant que joueur de rugby dans un environnement différent où j’apprendrai beaucoup de choses différentes. Je vais retrouver de la fraîcheur avant un nouveau cycle de Coupe du monde, que j’espère fructueux, et de belles années à venir avec les All Blacks, les Hurricanes et Taranaki.

« J’aimerais être là, dans vingt ou trente ans, avec mes enfants ou mes petits-enfants, en sachant que je n’ai rien laissé au hasard et que j’ai saisi cette opportunité de m’améliorer. »

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

'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.
