Il n’y a pas que la Champions Cup qui reprend ses droits ce week-end. Sa petite sœur, la Challenge Cup, est également de retour pour les 8es de finale et six clubs français sont en lice. RugbyPass analyse les forces en présence qui vont se dresser face à nos clubs.

Gloucester n’y arrive pas à l’extérieur, Montpellier devrait en profiter

Avantage MHR dans ce duel entre deux doubles vainqueurs de la compétition. Gloucester a en effet terminé 4e et dernier qualifié de sa poule. Les Anglais ont été solides à domicile, mais ont explosé lors de leurs deux déplacements. À Vannes puis à Bayonne, les ‘Cherry and White’ ont pris cher : 43-19 et 55-17.

C’est un peu la même chose en Premiership, où la dernière victoire de Gloucester remonte au… 27 septembre, à l’occasion de la 2e journée. Ce qui ne l’empêche pas de figurer à la 4e place du championnat à égalité avec Leicester, 3e, et juste devant la meute composée de Sale, des Saracens et des Harlequins.

À voir l’état d’esprit et la composition affichés au GGL Stadium, car un important déplacement chez les Sarries se profile le 19 avril. Mais sur le papier, avec des joueurs comme le demi de mêlée gallois Tomos Williams, le N.8 et ancien Montpelliérain Zach Mercer, les Pumas Santiago Carreras et Matias Alemanno ou l’ailier toujours virevoltant Christian Wade, Gloucester peut avoir fière allure et menacer le MHR, invaincu jusqu’à présent en Challenge Cup.

La Section Paloise n’avait pas fait de la Challenge Cup une priorité, mais a réussi à prendre la 3e place de sa poule en alignant ses jeunes pousses et les joueurs en manque de temps de jeu. Elle n’a pas eu de chance au tirage en héritant de Bath, leader incontesté de Premiership, reversé de Champions Cup.

Le club de la ville thermale est passé au travers de son début de compétition, concédant d’entrée une défaite à domicile devant La Rochelle (20-24), suivie d’une courte défaite à Trévise contre le Benetton (21-22). En ajoutant la lourde défaite au Leinster lors de la 4e journée, Bath n’a remporté qu’une rencontre européenne cette année, contre l’ASM rapidement réduite à 14.

Largement en tête du championnat anglais (dix points d’avance sur Bristol), le club du Somerset n’a perdu qu’une seule fois depuis début octobre. Son attaque tourne à plein régime, menée par un Finn Russell brillant.

Si Bath vient dans le Béarn motivé et avec la plupart de ses cadres (Will Muir, Sam Underhill, Cameron Redpath, Thomas du Toit…), cela risque d’être compliqué pour les Palois.

L’Aviron a atteint son premier objectif européen, en organisant un 8e de finale à Jean-Dauger. Invaincus dans son antre, les hommes de Grégory Patat ne comptent pas s’arrêter là. Ils ont hérité des Bulls de Pretoria, reléguée de Champions Cup.

Les Sud-Africains ne doivent leur survie européenne uniquement au fait qu’ils sont tombés sur encore moins motivés qu’eux lors de la dernière journée. Ils ont dominé le Stade Français au Loftus Versfeld (48-7) après trois défaites inaugurales.

Dès lors, dans quel état d’esprit vont débarquer les Bulls, qui se sont préparés à Biarritz en ce début de semaine ? Pas forcément le plus conquérant, à en croire le site officiel de la franchise. Le page d’accueil annonce en effet que le prochain match des Bulls aura lieu… au Munster le 19 avril.

Une publication partagée par Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque (@bopb_officiel)

« On veut poursuivre notre route dans la Challenge Cup parce qu’on souhaite gagner le plus de trophées possible. Il reste beaucoup de choses à jouer, seize équipes et tout est possible ! », jugeait toutefois Jake White en janvier à l’annonce du tirage au sort.

Troisièmes du United Rugby Championship, les Bulls restent sur une victoire probante sur les Zebre (63-24) et enchaîneront après la parenthèse européenne par deux matchs au Munster, donc, et à Glasgow.

Répétition générale entre l’USAP et le Racing avant des retrouvailles sous haute tension

Racing 92
Toutes les stats et les données

La seule confrontation franco-française ne sera pas dénuée d’intérêt, car Perpignan et le Racing sont également à la lutte pour le maintien en Top 14, et se retrouveront une seconde fois à Aimé-Giral le 19 avril dans le cadre domestique.

Avec trois victoires sur les quatre derniers matchs de championnat, ça va mieux pour les ‘ciel et blanc’ qui ne sont toutefois pas à l’abri d’une rechute. L’USAP, elle, est en grandes difficultés avec une série de cinq matchs sans victoire et n’a que deux points d’avance sur Vannes, lanterne rouge.

Dans ces conditions, une de ces deux équipes jouera-t-elle le jeu à fond ? Perpignan n’a jamais envoyé son équipe type en Challenge cette saison, ce qui ne l’a pas empêché de perdre Jack McIntyre, Patrick Sobela ou encore Mathieu Tanguy sur blessure dans la compétition.

Reversés de Champions Cup après une campagne pas si catastrophique (deux victoires, deux défaites), les Racingmen pourraient redonner du lustre à leur saison en poursuivant leur aventure européenne.

Les Sharks, un gros morceau pour le LOU

Rencontre
Challenge Cup
Lyon
34 - 21

Sharks
Toutes les stats et les données

Engagés en Champions Cup grâce à leur victoire en Challenge l’an dernier, on ne peut pas dire que les Sharks aient valorisé la compétition reine, en envoyant des équipes bis à l’extérieur. Résultat, ils vont attaquer la défense de leur titre sur le terrain du LOU.

Peut-être joueront-ils plus le jeu, avec quatre matchs sur la route du doublé, d’autant que la franchise sud-africaine attaque une mini-tournée d’un mois en Europe avec deux matchs d’URC programmés fin avril.

Battus chez eux par le Leinster la semaine dernière, les Sharks, 4es de leur championnat, devront engranger des points à Edimbourg ou sur le terrain de l’Ulster pour rester parmi les qualifiables.

Mais avant cela, il y aura donc un détour par le Matmut Stadium pour l’armada bardée de Springboks : Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi, Vincent Koch en première ligne, Siya Kolisi en troisième ligne, les frères Hendrikse à la charnière ou encore Makazole Mapimpi, pour ne citer que ceux alignés face au Leinster.

Montpellier vs Perpignan | Live & Latest Rugby Union Scores & Results | RugbyPass

In France, we deeply value financial security and independence. After my divorce, my life took a chaotic turn, and amidst all the turmoil, I misplaced the backup phrase for my Bitcoin wallet, which held a significant amount, $220,000. I was already grappling with emotional challenges, and the thought of losing my Bitcoin felt like the final blow.

In moments like these, I couldn't help but think of the French saying, “Il ne faut jamais dire jamais,” which means “Never say never.” Little did I know that this would become a mantra for my recovery journey. I spent days searching for that elusive phrase, going through old documents and turning my apartment upside down, but it was as if the universe had conspired against me—the backup was simply gone.

Feeling desperate and overwhelmed, I confided in a friend who works in the cryptocurrency space. He recommended Hack Buster Recovery, mentioning that they had helped many French investors in similar situations. Skeptical but out of options, I decided to reach out.

From the moment I contacted Hack Buster Recovery, I was struck by their understanding of my situation. They were professional and compassionate, reassuring me that I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Their team quickly got to work, explaining the recovery process in a way that put my mind at ease. It was clear they had dealt with cases like mine before, and their expertise gave me a flicker of hope.

Within just a few days, I received the news that would change everything: they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin! The relief I felt was indescribable. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. In such a tough time in my life, Hack Buster Recovery became a beacon of hope.

If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I wholeheartedly recommend Hack Buster Recovery. Their dedication, professionalism, and ability to deliver results are remarkable. They will lift the burden off your shoulders, just as they did for me. In moments of chaos, trust me when I say that Hack Buster Recovery can be the difference between despair and hope. Thanks to them, I can now move forward with my life and focus on rebuilding my financial security.

'He has found that sweet spot': Hurricanes extend Ngane Punivai

Life can unravel in an instant. For me, that moment came when deceitful cryptocurrency brokers vanished with £40,000 of my savings, a devastating blow that left me paralyzed by shame and despair. The aftermath was a fog of sleepless nights, self-doubt, and a crushing sense of betrayal. I questioned every choice, wondering how I’d fallen for such a scheme. Hope felt like a luxury I no longer deserved. Then, Tech Cyber Force Recovery emerged like a compass in a storm. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. What I found, however, was a team that radiated both expertise and empathy. From our first conversation, they treated my crisis not as a case file, but as a human tragedy. Their professionalism was matched only by their compassion, a rare combination in the often impersonal world of finance.

What happened next defied logic. Within 72 hours of sharing my story, they traced the labyrinth of blockchain transactions, outmaneuvering the scammers with surgical precision. When their email arrived, “Funds recovered, secure and intact,” I wept. It wasn’t just the money; it was the validation that justice could prevail. Tech Cyber Force Recovery didn’t just restore my finances, they resurrected my dignity. But their impact ran deeper. They demystified the recovery process, educating me without judgment. Their transparency became a lifeline, transforming my fear into understanding. Where I saw chaos, they saw patterns; where I felt powerless, they instilled agency. Today, I’m rebuilding not just my savings, but my trust in humanity. Tech Cyber Force Recovery taught me that vulnerability isn’t weakness, and that seeking help is an act of courage. To those still trapped in the aftermath of fraud: miracles exist. They wear no capes, but they wield algorithms and integrity like superheroes. To the extraordinary Tech Cyber Force Recovery team, your work is more than technical prowess. It’s alchemy, turning despair into resilience. You gave me more than my funds; you gave me my future. May your light guide countless others through their darkest nights. From the depths of my heart: Thank you.

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin.
