L’arbitre australien Angus Gardner atteindra un cap symbolique ce samedi 8 mars à Dublin en officiant sur son 50e match international. Il sera au sifflet pour le choc du Tournoi des Six Nations entre l’Irlande, double tenante du titre, et la France, son principal rival dans la course au trophée.

Gardner devient ainsi le premier arbitre australien à atteindre ce palier, après que son compatriote Stuart Dickinson s’est arrêté à 47 tests avant sa retraite en 2011. Il rejoint également le cercle restreint des 15 arbitres ayant dirigé 50 rencontres internationales, une liste à laquelle s’est récemment ajouté le Néo-Zélandais Ben O’Keeffe, qui a atteint cette marque lors de la victoire de l’Irlande sur l’Angleterre en ouverture du Tournoi 2025.

Âgé de 40 ans et demeurant à Sydney, Gardner a fait ses débuts au niveau international en novembre 2011 lors du succès de la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée contre le Vanuatu (78-3). Depuis, il a arbitré trois Coupes du Monde (2015, 2019 et 2023) et a été sacré Arbitre de l’Année par World Rugby en 2018, année où il a également dirigé sa première finale de Super Rugby.

Des stats à l’avantage de la France

Pour son retour sur la scène internationale, Angus Gardner sera aux commandes d’un match crucial du Tournoi des Six Nations, quatre mois après avoir officié lors de la victoire étriquée des All Blacks face à l’Angleterre (24-22) en novembre dernier, lors de l’Autumn Nations Series.

Les Bleus gardent un bon souvenir de leur unique affrontement contre l’Irlande sous son arbitrage : une victoire 30-24 à Paris en 2022, qui les avait mis sur la voie de leur Grand Chelem. Ce jour-là, Gardner avait rapidement sanctionné les Irlandais, leur infligeant neuf des dix pénalités concédées dans les 42 premières minutes.

Pris hors-jeu à trois reprises et pénalisés deux fois en mêlée, les hommes d’Andy Farrell avaient souffert, tandis que Melvyn Jaminet, implacable face aux perches, avait transformé ses six tentatives. Malgré un déficit d’essais (3-2), les Bleus avaient gardé le contrôle au score.

Les statistiques sous la direction de l’arbitre australien sont clairement à l’avantage de la France. Les Bleus ont remporté leurs trois derniers tests arbitrés par Gardner, avec des succès serrés contre l’Argentine (23-21) et l’Angleterre (33-31) en plus de leur victoire contre l’Irlande.

À l’inverse, le XV du Trèfle a perdu ses trois derniers matchs sous son sifflet, s’inclinant également face au Pays de Galles (25-7 à Cardiff en 2019) et contre le Japon (19-12 lors de la Coupe du Monde 2019).

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
