Pourquoi le XV de France féminin doit se méfier de l’Ecosse

Bryan Easson, le sélectionneur de l'Ecosse, et Rachel Malcolm, la capitaine.

L’arrière des Bleues et du Stade Bordelais Morgane Bourgeois (21 ans, 5 sélections) le reconnaît aisément : « toutes les équipes du Tournoi montent en puissance et tous les matchs prennent de l’ampleur ».

Après l’Irlande vainqueur du WXV 3, place maintenant à l’Ecosse qui a remporté le WXV 2 en Afrique du Sud, à la différence de points avec l’Italie qui sera le troisième adversaire des Bleues.

En une édition seulement, le WXV de World Rugby a vraiment apporté un plus à la compétitivité des équipes féminines, proposant une compétition de très haut niveau à l’automne chaque année. Si l’an passé la France avait battu l’Ecosse 55-0 à Vannes, cette année ce ne sera pas la même.

L’exploit contre le Pays de Galles

En battant le Pays de Galles 20-18 lors de la première journée pour la première fois depuis 2004, les Écossaises ont remporté leur septième victoire consécutive, toutes compétitions confondues, et la première sur le sol gallois depuis 20 ans.

« On a connu des moments difficiles, mais on savait que ce groupe avait quelque chose de spécial à offrir et nous allons continuer à progresser », indiquait le sélectionneur Bryan Easson à l’issue de la rencontre.

L’exploit a été récompensé par un gain de deux places au classement mondial féminin World Rugby. L’Ecosse se classe maintenant 6e, son plus haut niveau historique jamais atteint.

Les menaces

Dans ce groupe, les menaces ont pour nom Coreen Grant sur une aile (auteure du premier essai après un cadrage-débordement suivi d’une course de 35 mètres), Rhona Lloyd sur l’autre aile, Helen Nelson, tireuse d’élite du XV du Chardon avec un 100% au pied (4/4) ou encore Caity Mattison qui a placé les joueuses dans les bonnes zones.

A noter aussi l’arrivée pour ce clash contre la France de la deuxième-ligne d’Édimbourg Natasha Logan, impressionnante lors du récent Celtic Challenge et qui pourrait maintenant avoir l’occasion de briller sur la scène internationale.

23 des 34 joueuses du Tournoi sont sous contrat

Si l’Ecosse parvient aujourd’hui à faire de tels résultats, c’est aussi suite à la réorganisation de la filière féminine vers la professionnalisation. Ainsi, 23 des 34 joueuses du Tournoi des Six Nations sont actuellement sous contrat avec Scottish Rugby, la fédération.

« Les contrats font sans aucun doute la différence », a déclaré cette semaine la demie de mêlée Jenny Maxwell, elle-même sous contrat, au podcast BBC Scotland Rugby.

« Ces contrats font aussi la différence pour moi et pour les filles de la PWR (Premiership Women’s Rugby), qui peuvent consacrer du temps à aller jouer dans ces clubs qui vont nous offrir du très bon rugby chaque semaine.

« Avant l’arrivée des contrats, on faisait encore des progrès. C’était juste un peu plus lent. Nous avons toujours su que nous étions capables de le faire. Mais il s’agit juste de finir le travail. »

Les dernières victoires ont suffi à renforcer la confiance des joueuses et du staff si bien que beaucoup estiment que l’équipe actuelle est la plus forte de l’histoire de l’Écosse.

« Je pense que la profondeur que nous avons dans l’équipe en ce moment est meilleure qu’elle ne l’a jamais été », a notamment confirmé Jenny Maxwell.

Les joueuses ont les clés

Comme pour la France, le staff de l’Ecosse a souhaité mettre en place un groupe de leaders – six – afin de responsabiliser l’équipe, à l’image de Rachel Malcolm, arrière et capitaine.

« Nous préférons que les joueuses prennent l’initiative plutôt que de dépendre uniquement de l’entraîneur, ce qui permet de renforcer le pouvoir du groupe. C’est probablement là notre principal atout. Notre progression découle également de la cohérence observée dans nos choix de sélection et dans notre encadrement », explique Bryan Easson.

« Nous disons aux joueuses que la salle d’équipe est la leur, que le vestiaire est le leur, et que la façon dont elles s’y comportent reflétera la façon dont elles s’entraînent. La façon dont elles s’entraînent se répercute ensuite sur leur façon de jouer. C’est donc elles qui déterminent leur culture et leurs attitudes.

« C’est la raison pour laquelle on peut constater une réelle solidarité entre nous, un sentiment de famille, qui fait qu’il est agréable de travailler ensemble. »

Samedi 30 mars, la France affrontera l’Écosse au Hive Stadium d’Édimbourg, dans ce qui représente le défi le plus difficile pour l’Écosse depuis leur dernière confrontation il y a un peu plus d’un an.

Si l’Écosse parvient à réitérer l’esprit combatif démontré à Cardiff, le résultat devrait être bien moins déséquilibré que celui observé lors du match précédent au Stade de la Rabine à Vannes. Cette fois, les Ecossaises ne passeront pas à côté.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Like many crypto enthusiasts, My dad was initially drawn to the platform by its seemingly professional interface, an array of cryptocurrencies available for trading, and the alluring promises of high returns. The exchange looked reputable, offering a seamless user experience. Dad decided to deposit a significant amount of $50,000 to try his hand at crypto trading. Everything appeared legitimate, and after a few weeks, his account balance had grown to over $200,000. I remember how thrilled he was with his success and wanted to cash out some of his profits. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, problems began to emerge. The platform’s customer service team contacted him with an urgent request: to unlock his funds, he would need to deposit an additional $40,000. The explanation provided was that there were "processing fees" associated with large withdrawals, and that this extra deposit was required before the investor could access any of his money. That’s when I began doing my research and in the process, I found that this is in fact a common scheme. My brother in-law recommended a Tech company called GearHead Engineers, which has been helping victims like my dad to successfully withdraw their funds without paying the unfair fees. We did contact them through their email, gearhead(@)engineer(.)com and after a series of communication, they got back every single penny back. This only took them 4 days. I must admit that we were impatient but it turned out great. Reach out to them.

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality.Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.
