Les Etats-Unis étaient déjà complètement passés à côté du premier tournoi de la saison à Dubaï, ne remportant aucune de leurs rencontres.

Ali Dabo n’a pas tardé à ouvrir le score dès la première minute, mais David Still a vite répondu pour remettre les Américains à deux points, alors que Liam Delamare terminait de purger ses deux minutes de pénalités.

Pas de quoi inquiéter les Bleus. Une course en solitaire de Varian Pasquet redonnait de l’air (12-5). Sur le renvoi suivant, Ali Dabo captait astucieusement le ballon dans les airs avant de transmettre à Simon Désert qui marquait son tout premier essai sur le circuit pour sa toute première sélection (19-5). Le même Simon qui sera trop juste pour stopper le deuxième essai de Still (19-12) juste avant la pause.

Celian Pouzelgues arrivait à maîtriser le ballon offert par Pasquet pour marquer dès le renvoi son deuxième essai du circuit après ses débuts à Dubaï une semaine avant (24-12). Riva marquait à son tour, puis Joe Quere-Karaba faisait parler ses impressionnants appuis pour aplatir lui aussi son tout premier essai sur le circuit (36-12). Enahemo Artaud, le troisième débutant de la rencontre, étendait loin son bras pour étendre le score (43-12). Restait encore un peu de temps pour Pouzelgues pour marquer, juste avant que l’Américain Michael Hand ne fasse son retour après ses deux minutes de pénalités.

Le prochain rendez-vous pour les Français sera contre la Nouvelle-Zélande, sachant qu’une nouvelle large victoire les qualifierait pour les demi-finales.

Une domination sans faille contre les USA

La saison dernière, la France avait déjà dominé ses duels contre les États-Unis en remportant trois de leurs cinq rencontres, avec une marge moyenne confortable de 19 points par match. Un point clé de ce face-à-face : l’équipe qui menait à la pause a toujours gagné. Depuis 2019, ce scénario s’est vérifié lors de leurs 17 duels. Ça s’est encore vérifié cette fois-là.

Cependant, jusqu’à ce samedi 7 décembre, le bilan tricolore face aux Américains en Afrique du Sud était moins reluisant. Sur trois confrontations, la France n’avait réussi à décrocher qu’une seule victoire, lors du quart de finale de Bowl à George en 2010-11.

Known for its iconic skyline, cutting-edge technology, and thriving economy, Dubai attracts people from all over the world, creating a melting pot of cultures and opportunities. With its growing real estate market, it has also become a hotspot for investors seeking profitable ventures.

Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way when I fell victim to a fake online real estate investment scheme.I had come across an online platform that promised high returns from real estate investments in Dubai. The website appeared professional, with attractive visuals and solid claims of lucrative deals. Enthusiastic about the opportunity, I decided to invest a considerable amount of money AED 300,000. The platform made everything seem so legitimate, with detailed reports, customer support, and even seemingly real testimonials. As someone who lives in Dubai and is familiar with the local real estate market, I believed this was a solid investment opportunity.However, things began to take a turn for the worse after I made the transfer. At first, the returns appeared on the platform, but when I tried to withdraw some funds, I encountered strange delays.

'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.
