Le XV de France doit oublier le Grand Chelem et passer à autre chose

Faute d’avoir concrétisé sa supériorité, le XV de France a été surpris à la dernière minute par l’Angleterre (26-25) : les Bleus doivent évacuer la cruauté de cette défaite et la déception d’un Grand Chelem déjà envolé pour rebondir dans un Tournoi encore gagnable.

Frustration : le mot était dans les bouches de tous les joueurs et du staff, tant le XV de France a gâché des occasions d’essais quasi immanquables, accumulant maladresses et cafouillages (27 fautes de main au total).

Sur le jeu, « par moment, cela ressemblait au scénario d’il y a deux ans », estime le sélectionneur Fabien Galthié, en référence à la victoire française historique de 2023 en terres anglaises (53-10). « Sauf qu’il y a deux ans, cela marquait. »

Les ailiers Louis Bielle-Biarrey (5e) et Damian Penaud (22e), le demi de mêlée Antoine Dupont (21e) et le pilier Peato Mauvaka (43e) : autant d’en-avants pour autant d’essais que les Bleus auraient dû marquer, sans que personne n’arrive totalement à expliquer ce manque d’adresse.

« Il y avait des conditions humides, avec un ballon glissant… Mais on a peut-être joué les ballons avant de les avoir », tente d’expliquer le troisième ligne François Cros.

Tout n’est pas à jeter dans la prestation du XV de France

Pour Galthié, ses joueurs auraient dû « ne pas vouloir marquer immédiatement et accepter de faire un ruck de plus ».

Quelle qu’en soit la raison, cette maladresse a accouché d’un scénario cruel, regrette Cros : « On a laissé les Anglais à portée de fusil et on s’est fait contrer en fin de match », avec l’essai du trois-quarts Elliot Daly (79e), tout juste entré en jeu et qui a fait parler sa fraîcheur face à des Français usés physiquement et peut-être aussi moralement.

« Il faut savoir tuer l’adversaire, et malheureusement, on n’a pas su le faire », ne peut que déplorer l’arrière Thomas Ramos.

Tout n’est pourtant pas à jeter dans la prestation des Bleus, dont les séquences offensives souvent séduisantes ont ouvert des boulevards dans une défense anglaise aux abois.

« On est une équipe ambitieuse, on l’a encore montré aujourd’hui. Ce qui est intéressant, c’est ce qu’a produit cette équipe pendant quasiment 80 minutes sur la feuille de route et le contenu », positive le sélectionneur.

Reste qu’une nouvelle deuxième place dans le Tournoi des Six Nations, que le XV de France n’a emporté qu’une seule fois sous la direction de Galthié (2022, Grand chelem à la clé), laisserait un goût amer au vu des qualités de la génération dont il dispose.

Gagner à Dublin, un impératif désormais

« Je pense qu’on est une équipe qui mérite plus que d’apprendre après des matchs comme ça », lâche Ramos, qui déjà s’est projeté vers la suite du Tournoi. « Rien n’est encore perdu, même si le Grand Chelem est maintenant derrière nous. Je suis persuadé qu’on est capables de gagner (contre) n’importe qui, n’importe où ».

Mais le chemin de la victoire dans ce Tournoi passera par Dublin, un périple sans doute encore plus périlleux que celui de Twickenham, face aux doubles tenants du titre irlandais, bien décidés à marquer l’histoire avec un triplé qui n’a jamais été réussi depuis que le Tournoi se joue à six.

Les Irlandais, qui avaient infligé une leçon aux Bleus à Marseille l’an passé (38-17) et ont déjà disposé des Anglais (27-22) et des Écossais (32-18), auront eux peut-être le Grand Chelem à portée de main.

« Je crois surtout qu’il faut aujourd’hui se concentrer sur notre match en Italie (le 23 février) parce que ce sera un match qui est très important pour basculer sur les deux derniers », avertit Ramos.

Comme lui, les Bleus ont sans aucun doute encore en tête le nul miraculeux de l’an passé à Villeneuve-d’Ascq (13-13), où seul un improbable loupé face aux perches de Paolo Garbisi sur la pénalité de la gagne avait épargné aux Bleus une infamante défaite à domicile.

« On a encore les cartes en main pour gagner le Tournoi », assure Cros.

It was supposed to be a dream trip, a long-awaited journey from the USA to China to visit family and explore new places. I had spent months planning every detail, from the itinerary to the accommodations. But what started as excitement quickly turned into a nightmare when I fell victim to a fake flight ticket scam, losing $580,000 in the process. The betrayal I felt was indescribable. I had trusted the website, which looked legitimate, and even received what appeared to be a confirmation email. It wasn’t until I arrived at the airport that I realized I had been scammed. The ticket was fake, and my money was gone.I felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and helplessness. How could I have been so careless? I had worked so hard to save for this trip, and now it was all gone. I reported the incident to the authorities, but I was told that recovering the funds would be nearly impossible. That’s when I stumbled upon Hack Buster Recovery. At first, I was skeptical after all, I had already been scammed once. But I was desperate, and their reviews seemed genuine. I decided to take a chance and reached out to them. From the very first interaction, the team at Hack Buster Recovery was professional and empathetic. They listened to my story, asked for all the necessary details, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me hope. Over the next few days, they kept me updated on their progress, explaining each step of the recovery process in a way that was easy to understand. I was amazed by their expertise and dedication.To my absolute astonishment, within a week, Hack Buster Recovery successfully recovered my $580,000. I couldn’t believe it. The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. They not only got my money back but also restored my faith in humanity. Their team went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of, and I will forever be grateful for their incredible work.This taught me a valuable lesson about being cautious online, but it also showed me that there are still good people out there willing to help. Hack Buster Recovery is a true lifesaver, and I can’t recommend them enough. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope and reach out to them.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

It all started when I was lured into investing by an FX trader I met on Instagram. The trader seemed professional and confident, sharing stories of massive returns from their investments. They promised that I could make five times that back within seven days by investing a certain amount. The offer was too good to pass up, and it was a golden opportunity to grow my money. After all, the trader had proof of their success and seemed trustworthy. I decided to invest, and over the next five weeks, I paid a total of $7,200 to the trader's company. Each time I tried to withdraw my funds or the supposed earnings I’d accumulated, they came up with new excuses and reasons why I needed to pay more money before I could access my earnings. They claimed I had to cover additional fees, taxes, or "security deposits" before processing my withdrawal. At first, I hesitated, but with every new claim, they made it seem like I had no other choice if I wanted to see my money again. It was a frustrating and confusing process, and each time I questioned them, they reassured me that I would get my money soon. Eventually, I realized I had been scammed. I was fed up and desperate, but I didn’t know what to do. That’s when, luckily, I stumbled upon a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They recommended a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of crypto recovery experts who specialize in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent investment schemes. At first, I was hesitant. After all, I’d already been deceived once, and I wasn’t sure if I could trust another company. However, I decided to take the risk and contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery. I shared my transaction history and details with them, and within just seven hours, they asked for my wallet address. To my amazement, I received $6,300 back into my wallet. I can’t express how grateful I am to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for their help. They were professional, prompt, and thorough in their approach, and they truly helped me recover a significant portion of my lost money. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to recovery experts like Tech Cyber Force Recovery. They truly made a difference in my case, and I’m incredibly thankful for their support.You can reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery MAIL Techcybersforcerecovery@cyberservices.com
