Le Castres Olympique jouait gros ce soir car après leur succès capital contre le Munster (16-14), les Tarnais avaient l’occasion de se rapprocher des huitièmes de finale en cas de victoire, surtout après leur faux départ à Northampton.

Face à eux, les Sud-Africains des Bulls, encore à zéro point au classement après deux revers, devaient impérativement s’imposer pour garder un espoir de qualification, eux qui atteignaient régulièrement les phases finales.

Une entame sud-africaine tranchante

Sous une météo humide et froide, les Castrais ont signé une performance retentissante malgré une entame difficile, marquée par un essai de Wessels dès la 7e minute sur un ballon porté (0-7), les Tarnais ont réagi avec sang-froid. Bien en place défensivement et patients dans la construction de leur jeu, ils ont réussi à égaliser grâce à une action lumineuse conclue en bout de ligne par Palis (18e, 7-7), après la transformation de Fernandez. Juste avant la pause, ce dernier a donné l’avantage aux siens après une faute au sol (31e, 10-7).

Au retour des vestiaires, Castres a maintenu son emprise malgré les velléités de réaction des Bulls. La mêlée tarnaise a fait souffrir les visiteurs, permettant à Fernandez d’ajouter trois points supplémentaires (45e, 13-7). Les Bulls ont réduit l’écart grâce à une pénalité de Van der Walt (53e, 13-10), mais ils se sont heurtés à une défense tarnaise impitoyable symbolisée par l’entrée en force du banc à partir de la 50e minute.

L’intensité castraise a été récompensée par un premier essai en force de Baget, transformé par Fernandez (64e, 21-10), marquant un tournant dans la rencontre.

La fin de match a été un festival offensif pour les locaux, galvanisés par un public en feu. Dumora a inscrit un essai acrobatique en coin (71e, 28-10), suivi du deuxième essai de Baget, offrant le bonus offensif (73e, 35-10). Goodhue (76e, 42-10) et Baget, auteur d’un triplé sur une percée exceptionnelle (79e, 49-10), ont scellé le sort de cette rencontre. Popelin a parfaitement assuré ses transformations, sauf une, contribuant à ce succès éclatant.

Cette victoire bonifiée relance complètement Castres dans la course à la qualification. Avec une mêlée conquérante, une défense solide et des attaquants en pleine réussite, les hommes de Xavier Sadourny ont livré une prestation aboutie, infligeant une lourde défaite à des Bulls débordés, pourtant ambitieux en début de rencontre.

Le CO tentera de valider son billet pour les phases finales le week-end prochain sur la pelouse des Anglais des Saracens. Un gros défi en perspective pour une équipe tarnaise qui a perdu treize de ses quatorze derniers déplacements toutes compétitions confondues.

Ce serait la première qualification en phase finale depuis 22 ans du CO Castres Olympique qui avait pris l’habitude de ne pas jeter toutes ses forces dans les batailles européennes lors des nombreuses campagnes précédentes.

Rieko Ioane to join Leinster in bombshell move

Yeah exactly. I wanted to watch the last game because I saw the headline that Nick had done an article on it. I saw all the same flaws I had come to expect cause NZ troubles at international level. He grubbered it through with two men unmarked out wide, because he doesn’t have the passing or vision to get it to them. He through a wobbly spiral that nearly got intercepted getting to space out wide after that. Even his little pop pass for a try was uncertain and if anybody else was their would have been plucked out of the air but the defence. As it was the guy went over at close range for a try, but like you say, we know from the past that he still would have made that wrong type of passing choice (should have been a simple yet firm double pump) against better defenses. There were a bunch of other minor things too, getting bumped off, all just in the first half. Not that he didn’t do a lot of Leinster of course, I just care about what he can do in black, and well I definitely wasn’t going to get any good examples out of a onesided contest like that so gave up at about the 33/35min mark.


I was so disappointed because I really do want him to develop and be able to use all his skills. I still remember really enjoying his audacity as a young fella to try things for the All Blacks. Things that when they went wrong got him unceremoniously vilified. I suppose he was another example of a player from that error mismanaged, or impacted by mismanagement, thrust into the starting role of a All Black fullback, mostly to allow Beauden to play 10. He really wasn’t ready at all to be used full time like he was. But I still feel that if he can just get to the right size he can make carrying the ball (and defence) his best attribute, and that will make it so much easier everywhere else. On the 10, what the 13 needs to be doing, and on himself to not require anything too special with the other options of pass or kick, because he’ll give himself so much extra time if the defence is actually worried about him breaking the line.


I was shocked to find the Jordie was Nicks main example for how well they’re playing LOL!

Defensive woes won't stop Moana Pasifika from being contenders

I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.

One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.

Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.

Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.

By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.

I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com
