Pourquoi l’Angleterre craint plus les tests d’automne que la Coupe du Monde

BORDEAUX, FRANCE - 27 AVRIL : La capitaine de l'Angleterre Marlie Packer (G) et Zoe Aldcroft soulèvent le trophée du Six Nations alors que l'Angleterre célèbre après sa victoire du Grand Chelem après le match entre la France et l'Angleterre au Stade Chaban-Delmas, le 27 avril 2024 à Bordeaux, en France.

John Mitchell, l’entraîneur de l’équipe féminine d’Angleterre, estime que son équipe sera confrontée à une série de matchs plus difficiles au cours des deux prochains mois que lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby Féminin de l’année prochaine.

Les Red Roses doivent en effet affronter la France et la Nouvelle-Zélande à Kingsholm et à l’Allianz Stadium lors de deux week-ends consécutifs en septembre, avant de se rendre au Canada pour défendre leur titre de championnes du WXV 1.

À Vancouver, l’équipe de Mitchell affrontera à nouveau le Canada, les États-Unis et les Black Ferns pour tenter de conserver le trophée qu’elle a remporté en Nouvelle-Zélande en novembre 2023.

Par conséquent, les Red Roses – numéro un au classement mondial féminin World Rugby – joueront quatre matchs contre leurs trois principaux adversaires en l’espace de cinq semaines seulement.

« C’est probablement la pré-saison la plus importante menant à l’objectif final [de remporter la Coupe du Monde de Rugby Féminin 2025] », explique Mitchell.

« Il est évident qu’il est plus difficile de gérer le court terme qu’une Coupe du monde avec les tests de préparation avant le WXV.

« C’est un défi énorme. D’un point de vue logistique et rugby pur, ce sera tout aussi difficile, sinon plus, que de gagner une Coupe du Monde.

« Pour gagner une Coupe du monde, il faut gagner les trois derniers matchs, mais nous avons deux fois la Nouvelle-Zélande, une fois la France et une fois le Canada. Ce sont les trois meilleures équipes du monde ! »

Même si John Mitchell se concentre actuellement sur ces matchs contre la France et la Nouvelle-Zélande ainsi que sur la campagne des Red Roses dans le WXV 1, remporter une troisième Coupe du monde est l’objectif ultime de l’entraîneur kiwi et de ses joueuses.

Pour y parvenir, il est conscient que son équipe doit continuer à progresser après une première saison presque parfaite.

« Notre rugby fonctionne, c’est certain, mais nous voulons aller plus vite. Nous cherchons à étoffer notre attaque et notre défense », assure-t-il.

« Nous avons ce que nous appelons les forces de l’ADN à notre disposition, mais je constate que l’équipe est plus épanouie lorsque toutes les joueuses participent activement aux phases d’attaque et de défense, plutôt que de se reposer uniquement sur des éléments individuels.

« Les compétences des joueuses s’améliorent indéniablement, et nous renforçons notre résilience, ce qui sera essentiel pour les 400 jours à venir avec la Coupe du Monde à domicile qui se profile. »

Même s’il ne prévoit pas de faire trop de rotations pendant les matchs restants de 2024, Mitchell a délibérément travaillé avec un groupe élargi de joueuses pour tenter de gagner en profondeur avant la Coupe du monde.

La finale du Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) 2024-25 devant se jouer le 16 mars 2025, à la veille du début du Tournoi des Six Nations féminin, le sélectionneur de l’Angleterre sait que ses ressources seront mises à l’épreuve au printemps.

« Nous devrons sans doute prévoir deux équipes pour le tout début du Tournoi des Six Nations, car les finalistes [du PWR] joueront en quelque sorte juste avant le coup d’envoi du Six Nations », a-t-il ajouté.

« Affronter la France et la Nouvelle-Zélande ne nous donne probablement pas l’opportunité de faire beaucoup tourner l’équipe en raison de la proximité du cycle de la Coupe du Monde. Par conséquent, le développement des joueuses est probablement plus crucial pour le prochain cycle.

« Il est maintenant temps de déterminer quelles équipes sont prêtes à affronter quels adversaires et de garantir la cohésion nécessaire. »

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
