Ma’a Nonu devient co-propriétaire du San Diego Legion (MLR)

Ma’a Nonu

Alors qu’on l’attend pour la première fois dans le groupe de 30 joueurs du RC Toulon convoqués pour affronter Perpignan samedi 22 mars lors de la 19e journée de Top 14, le centre néo-zélandais de 42 ans Ma’a Nonu fait également la Une de l’actualité aux États-Unis depuis quelques jours.

Le club San Diego Legion – qui pointe à la 1re place de la Major League Rugby Western Conference – a annoncé en début de semaine que le vétéran aux 103 sélections avec les All Blacks devenait officiellement co-propiétaire du club pour lequel il a d’ailleurs joué entre 2020 et 2024.

« Je suis honoré de franchir cette nouvelle étape avec le San Diego Legion, » a déclaré Nonu. « Ce club et ses supporters ont beaucoup compté pour moi pendant mes années de joueur. Je crois en cette vision de faire grandir le rugby aux États-Unis et je suis ravi de pouvoir y contribuer, sur le terrain comme en dehors. »

« Ce passage à la copropriété témoigne du lien fort entre Nonu et le club, mais aussi de sa foi dans le potentiel de la ligue. Son expérience, son leadership et sa passion seront des atouts majeurs alors que le Legion poursuit sa quête d’un titre et participe activement à l’essor du rugby sur le continent nord-américain. Son implication devrait aussi avoir un effet d’entraînement pour toute la MLR, en renforçant son attractivité et en attirant de nouveaux talents et investisseurs à l’échelle internationale », indique le San Diego Legion dans un communiqué.

Un impact à comparer avec l’investissement de David Beckham dans le foot

Une source proche de la Major League Rugby s’est dite enthousiaste, en comparant cette arrivée à celle de David Beckham dans le foot. Même si ce n’est pas la même ampleur, elle y voit un parallèle avec le parcours de Beckham, qui avait lancé l’Inter Miami après avoir brillé pendant cinq saisons au LA Galaxy.

« Les fans et tout le club sont ravis de voir Ma’a rejoindre le groupe d’actionnaires et représenter le Legion à l’échelle mondiale, » a déclaré Ryan Patterson, membre fondateur du San Diego Legion en 2017. « Il a été un moteur de la culture de la gagne sur le terrain, et il continuera à l’être en dehors. »

« Ma’a n’est pas seulement une icône du rugby, c’est aussi une personne et un leader remarquable dans la communauté mondiale du rugby. Son engagement envers le club, sur le terrain comme en coulisses, est exceptionnel. On est vraiment très heureux de le compter parmi nous », poursuit Darren Gardner, également cofondateur.

Ma’a Nonu formé en France pour devenir entraîneur

Ma’a Nonu se trouve actuellement en France, à Toulon, où il avait sollicité le manager Pierre Mignoni courant février pour parfaire ses talents de coaching, désirant devenir entraîneur. Il a finalement signé comme joker médical jusqu’à la fin de la saison pour un troisième chapitre après deux premières aventures : de 2015 à 2018, puis entre 2020 et 2021.

Actuellement troisièmes du Top 14, les Toulonnais accueillent Perpignan samedi soir au stade Mayol, avec un objectif clair : rester invaincus à domicile cette saison en championnat.

Un bon signal pour la MLR. À voir si sa formation d’entraineur en France lui a donné l’idée de militer pour une politique similaire à celle des JIFF aux U.S.

Brumbies on high alert: Len Ikitau’s stark warning over ex-boss

Exploring new cultures, meeting people, and experiencing the world has been a lifelong dream of mine. Last year, I decided to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe. I spent months researching destinations, creating itineraries, and saving up $8000 for the adventure. When I came across a travel agency offering an unbeatable package deal, I thought I had struck gold. The website looked professional, the reviews seemed genuine, and the agent I spoke to was incredibly persuasive. I paid the full amount upfront, excited to finally make my dream trip a reality. However, as the departure date approached, I noticed red flags. My emails to the agency went unanswered, and when I tried calling, the number was disconnected. Panic set in as I realized I had been scammed. My dream trip was slipping away, and I had lost $8000.Devastated, I turned to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for help. I had heard about their success in tracing online fraud and recovering funds for victims like me. I provided them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and the emails from the scammer. Tech Cyber Force Recovery team was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account to which my money had been transferred.

James O'Connor earns first Crusaders start against Moana Pasifika

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
