S’il y avait bien quelque chose que Scott Robertson, le sélectionneur des All Blacks ne souhaitait pas, c’est perdre deux de ses joueurs avant le clash contre la France le 16 novembre.

Le débutant Sam Darry, blessé au genou à l’entraînement, est forfait pour le reste de la tournée des All Blacks en Europe, tandis que Sam Cane, victime d’une blessure à la tête contre l’Irlande vendredi, est forfait pour le match contre la France.

« La blessure de Sam Cane a nécessité la pose de points de suture, il va se soumettre à un protocole commotion », a indiqué le sélectionneur. « Le médecin a fait un sacré boulot, c’était une coupure profonde. » Si bien que le faire rejouer trop tôt pourrait rouvrir la vilaine entaille.

Les recrues potentielles des All Blacks XV

Pour le prochain affrontement, les Kiwis feront donc appel à des renforts issus de leur équipe des All Blacks XV, actuellement en tournée en Europe. Cependant, le sélectionneur Scott Robertson n’a pas encore déterminé quel joueur sera promu pour renforcer le groupe principal.

Parmi les candidats potentiels figurent les trois seconde-lignes alignés pour affronter la Géorgie lors du prochain match des All Blacks XV ce dimanche à Montpellier au GGL Stadium (14h) : Naitoa Ah Kuoi, Isaia Walker-Leawere, et Fabian Holland. Ah Kuoi et Walker-Leawere débuteront la rencontre, tandis que Holland sera sur le banc.

Walker-Leawere, déjà appelé en renfort plus tôt dans la saison lors des blessures de Scott Barrett et Patrick Tuipulotu pendant le Rugby Championship, s’est montré solide lors du match contre le Munster le week-end dernier. Cependant, il reste connu pour attirer l’attention des arbitres en raison de son jeu rugueux.

Fabian Holland, 22 ans, s’est distingué en étant élu homme du match lors de cette rencontre et est vu comme celui avec le plus grand potentiel parmi les trois. Grâce à un récent assouplissement des critères d’éligibilité de World Rugby, le Néerlandais est désormais éligible pour représenter les All Blacks.

Le retour de Codie Taylor et Beauden Barrett ?

De son côté, Naitoa Ah Kuoi pourrait être le choix le plus fiable, grâce à son excellence en touche défensive dans le Super Rugby Pacific, et sa popularité auprès des supporters pour son tempérament extraverti.

Les All Blacks doivent actuellement composer avec les absences de Brodie McAlister, Josh Lord, Peter Lakai, Christian Lio-Willie, Harry Plummer et AJ Lam en raison de blessures.

En revanche, Robertson a également donné des nouvelles encourageantes concernant Codie Taylor et Beauden Barrett, tous deux absents contre l’Irlande suite à des commotions cérébrales.

« Tout indique qu’ils devraient être disponibles. Ils ont passé tous les tests nécessaires à ce jour. Ce serait formidable de les sélectionner, ils ont travaillé dur, », a-t-il précisé.

Une belle entame des Autumn Nations Series

La Nouvelle-Zélande a bien lancé ses Autumn Nations Series avec deux victoires : contre l’Angleterre (24-22) à Twickenham, puis contre l’Irlande qu’elle a usée 23-13 vendredi 8 novembre à Dublin.

Les Néo-Zélandais ont montré une belle énergie à l’Aviva Stadium, malgré l’absence de leur ouvreur habituel, Beauden Barrett, remplacé par Damian McKenzie. McKenzie, joueur des Chiefs, a inscrit 18 points au pied, illustrant une précision qui pose un « problème de riche » pour le sélectionneur Scott Robertson.

« Vous pouvez avoir un peu tout avec lui, mais quand il est en forme, il est de classe mondiale », avait résumé cette semaine l’ancien entraîneur des Crusaders à propos de “D-Mac”.

McKenzie a notamment impressionné en convertissant une pénalité de 45 mètres en début de seconde période, quelques secondes seulement après la chute du ballon du tee (49e, 13-12).

Cette tournée d’automne met en lumière une Nouvelle-Zélande plus solide et incisive qu’au Rugby Championship, qu’elle a terminé en deuxième position derrière l’Afrique du Sud.

George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
