Angleterre - Écosse : le XV de la Rose s'en sort encore par miracle

L’Écosse a marqué trois essais à Twickenham mais Finn Russell n’en a transformé aucun, et l’Angleterre s’est imposé d’un petit point. Comme face à la France, le XV de la Rose a été dominé, mais a su être efficace et a pu compter sur la maladresse du buteur écossais.

L’Angleterre, d’abord asphyxiée, a fait chuter l’Écosse (16-15) pour la première fois depuis 2020, samedi à Twickenham dans un match à grand suspense : de quoi prolonger son rêve de titre dans le Tournoi des Six Nations.

Mené 7 à 10 à la pause, le XV de la Rose a renversé son rival ancestral grâce à des pénalités de Marcus Smith (56e, 67e) et de Fin Smith (71e), puis il a tenu bon malgré un ultime gros frisson.

L’ailier Duhan van der Merwe, encore redoutable, a en effet inscrit un troisième écossais à l’approche de la sirène (79e, 16-15).

Mais son demi d’ouverture Finn Russell, en échec samedi face aux perches, a manqué la transformation.

Le coup de sifflet final a laissé place à un vacarme de tous les diables, à la hauteur de l’attente des supporters.

L’Angleterre attendait de battre l’Écosse depuis mars 2017 à Twickenham, une petite éternité dans ce qui constitue la rivalité la plus ancienne du rugby international, vieille de près de 150 ans.

L’équipe au maillot blanc n’avait plus battu les voisins depuis 2020, date de son dernier sacre dans le Tournoi des Six Nations.

Un nouveau trophée reste possible au regard du calendrier, qui verra les Anglais affronter l’Italie et le pays de Galles dans les deux dernières journées.

L’Irlande, double tenante du titre, reste solidement en tête du classement après avoir amassé trois victoires en trois journées, mais il lui faudra affronter le XV de France à la prochaine…

Le Chardon a piqué fort en début de match

En attendant, la sélection de Steve Borthwick repousse un peu plus loin les derniers mois difficiles, poussifs, qui l’avaient vu tenir tête aux cadors du rugby mondial, mais en perdant souvent d’un rien.

Samedi, le petit rien était de son côté, comme il y a deux semaines lorsqu’elle a renversé la France (26-25), déjà à domicile.

C’est un petit miracle, aussi, au regard de la première période, où elle a subi la domination outrageuse des Écossais, solidement installés dans son camp.

Le XV du Chardon a piqué très fort par l’intermédiaire de ses arrières, et notamment Duhan van der Merwe, surpuissant et déterminant sur le côté gauche.

L’ailier d’Édimbourg a allumé la première mèche sur une accélération puis une passe après contact pour Blair Kinghorn qui a trouvé Tom Jordan, lequel a servi à l’intérieur son demi de mêlée Ben White pour le premier essai du match (4e, 0-5).

Van der Merwe est aussi à l’origine du deuxième essai écossais, lorsqu’il a esquivé un plaquage de Marcus Smith et trouvé Huw Jones (19e, 7-10).

La nette domination des Écossais dans le jeu s’est en partie évaporée, cependant, sous les deux transformations manquées par Finn Russell. L’ouvreur de Bath n’a pas non plus résisté à la charge de Tommy Freeman, auteur du seul essai anglais de la première période (9e, 7-5).

Les locaux ont failli en mettre un deuxième, mais van der Merwe a plaqué Marcus Smith, et Ollie Lawrence a manqué sa chistera, envoyée en touche (40e+2).

La pause a visiblement fait du bien aux Anglais, revenus avec une défense mieux organisée et un engagement supérieur en attaque, poussant leurs adversaires à la faute.

Deuxième victoire consécutive contre un grand nom pour les Anglais

Ils ont égalisé puis pris les devants sur des pénalités de Marcus Smith (56e, 67e), avant de confirmer sur une autre pénalité, tirée cette fois par l’ouvreur Fin Smith (71e, 16-10).

Le 32e essai de van der Merwe, pour sa 47e sélection, n’a pas permis aux Écossais de renverser à leur tour la partie. Finn Russell, en coin, a échoué dans son ultime coup de pied.

La sélection de Steve Borthwick, après plusieurs mois difficiles, signe enfin deux succès consécutifs contre un grand nom du rugby mondial, deux semaines après avoir battu la France (26-25) déjà à domicile.

Elle parvient au passage à battre l’Écosse, ce qu’elle n’avait plus fait depuis 2020 dans le Tournoi, et depuis mars 2017 à Twickenham.

Il lui reste à battre l’Italie et le pays de Galles pour espérer dépasser l’Irlande, la double tenante du titre, en tête du classement après avoir amassé trois victoires en trois journées.

Premiership Cup semi-final draw and dates confirmed

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin.
