Le sélectionneur du Japon, Eddie Jones, appelle son équipe à rester soudée malgré des résultats décevants depuis son retour il y a près d’un an, marqués par plusieurs lourdes défaites.

Avec un bilan de quatre victoires pour sept défaites, dont des revers de plus de 40 points face à la Nouvelle-Zélande, la France et l’Angleterre, Jones refuse de céder au pessimisme.

De retour de la tournée européenne, conclue par une lourde défaite 59-14 contre l’Angleterre à Twickenham, l’Australien a admis qu’il n’existait pas de « solution miracle » mais reste convaincu que l’équipe progresse. « Ce sont des expériences indispensables pour cette équipe », a-t-il déclaré à son retour devant les journalistes.

« Je sais que vous vous dites tous qu’on a pris 50 points, mais ce sont ces matchs qui doivent nous faire grandir », a justifié Eddie Jones. « Le vrai défi, c’est à quelle vitesse nous pouvons apprendre », a-t-il ajouté.

Qu’une solution : continuer à bosser

À 64 ans, Jones, qui avait déjà dirigé le Japon entre 2012 et 2015, a misé sur une vague de nouveaux talents, dont un arrière encore étudiant.

Il reconnaît que l’inexpérience de ses joueurs a pesé « à des moments-clés des matchs », mais reste optimiste. Selon lui, le Japon a le potentiel pour devenir « la meilleure équipe offensive du monde ».

« Il y a un écart entre ce que nous sommes et ce que nous devons être, et il n’y a qu’une solution : continuer à bosser », a conclu le sélectionneur.

« La seule chose qui nous permettra d’y arriver, c’est le travail acharné, la persévérance et une sélection cohérente », a insisté Eddie Jones, confiant malgré les remous.

Le Japon bénéficie désormais de partenariats stratégiques avec l’Australie et la Nouvelle-Zélande, assurant des test-matchs réguliers contre ces puissances mondiales dans les années à venir.

Une pression constante

Jones, revenu à la tête des Brave Blossoms seulement six semaines après son départ des Wallabies, fait face à une pression constante. Son mandat avec l’Australie, marqué par une année catastrophique, avait pris fin dans la tourmente, et il avait nié à plusieurs reprises les rumeurs d’un retour à la tête du Japon.

Parallèlement, des critiques sur son passage à la tête de l’équipe d’Angleterre refont surface. L’ancien demi de mêlée anglais, Danny Care, l’a qualifié de « tyran » et de « despote » dans son autobiographie, ajoutant de l’huile sur le feu.

Jones, qui avait conduit l’Angleterre à la finale de la Coupe du monde 2019 avant une défaite face à l’Afrique du Sud, affirme également avoir été pris à partie par un supporter à la mi-temps du match contre l’Angleterre, son premier retour à Twickenham depuis son éviction en 2022.

Rassie Erasmus explains so-called Willie Le Roux Bok selection snub

It started with a gut-wrenching realization. I’d been duped. Months earlier, I’d poured $133,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity a cryptocurrency investment platform promising astronomical returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowed, and the numbers in my account dashboard climbed steadily. I’d watched my Bitcoin grow, or so I thought, until the day I tried to withdraw it. That’s when the excuses began: “Processing delays,” “Additional verification required,” and finally, a demand for a hefty “release fee.” Then, silence. The platform vanished overnight, taking my money with it. I was left staring at a blank screen, my savings gone, and a bitter taste of shame in my mouth.I didn’t know where to turn. The police shrugged cybercrime was a black hole they couldn’t navigate. Friends offered sympathy but no solutions. I spent sleepless nights scouring forums, reading about others who’d lost everything to similar scams. That’s when I stumbled across a thread mentioning a group specializing in crypto recovery. They didn’t promise miracles, but they had a reputation for results. Desperate, I reached out.The first contact was a breath of fresh air. I sent an email explaining my situation dates, transactions, screenshots, everything I could scrape together. Within hours, I got a reply. No fluff, no false hope, just a clear request for more details and a promise to assess my case. I hesitated, wary of another scam, but something about their professionalism nudged me forward. I handed over my evidence: the wallet addresses I’d sent my Bitcoin to, the emails from the fake platform, even the login credentials I’d used before the site disappeared.The process kicked off fast. They explained that scammers often move funds through a web of wallets to obscure their tracks, but Bitcoin’s blockchain leaves a trail if you know how to follow it. That’s where their expertise came in. They had tools and know-how I couldn’t dream of, tracing the flow of my coins across the network. I didn’t understand the technical jargon hash rates, mixing services, cold wallets but I didn’t need to. They kept me in the loop with updates: “We’ve identified the initial transfer,” “The funds split here,” “We’re narrowing down the endpoints.” Hours passed , and I oscillated between hope and dread. Then came the breakthrough. They’d pinpointed where my Bitcoin had landed a cluster of wallets tied to the scammers. Some of it had been cashed out, but a chunk remained intact, sitting in a digital vault the crooks thought was untouchable. I didn’t ask too many questions about that part; I just wanted results. They pressured the right points, leveraging the blockchain evidence to freeze the wallets holding my funds before the scammers could liquidate them. Next morning, I woke up to an email that made my heart skip. “We’ve secured access to a portion of your assets.” Not all of it some had slipped through the cracks but $133,000 worth of Bitcoin, my original investment, was recoverable. They walked me through the final steps: setting up a secure wallet, verifying the transfer, watching the coins land. When I saw the balance tick up on my screen, I sat there, stunned. It was real. My money was back.The ordeal wasn’t painless. I’d lost time, sleep, and a bit of faith in humanity. But the team at Alpha Spy Nest Recovery turned a nightmare into a second chance.  I’ll never forget what they did. In a world full of thieves, they were the ones who fought to make things right.
