Le petit conseil de Finn Russell à Owen Farrell sur le Top 14

BATH, ANGLETERRE - 26 AVRIL : Finn Russell (Bath Rugby) rit avec Owen Farrell et Jamie George (Saracens) avant le match de rugby de la Gallagher Premiership entre Bath Rugby et Saracens au The Recreation Ground, le 26 avril 2024 à Bath, en Angleterre. (Photo par Patrick Khachfe/Getty Images)

Après avoir joué cinq ans (2018-2023) sous les couleurs du Racing 92, le demi d’ouverture écossais Finn Russell sait de quoi il parle. Désormais à Bath, il n’en garde pas moins un souvenir très fort de ses années passées en France. Une expérience qu’Owen Farrell, ancien ouvreur des Saracens va s’apprêter à vivre à son tour pour au moins deux années.

C’est l’entraîneur anglais Stuart Lancaster qui a réussi à le convaincre de tenter l’aventure à un moment où Farrell était plus enclin à freiner sa carrière après une Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 en France qu’il avait mal vécue sur le plan psychologique et personnel.

Prévenant, Finn Russell a mis en garde l’ancien capitaine de l’Angleterre pour qu’il ne se grille pas d’entrée de jeu.

Paul Gustard on potential “signing of the season” Owen Farrell

Coach Paul Gustard is full of praise for Racing 92 signing Owen Farrell

« C’est un championnat long, et je doute qu’il soit habitué à une telle durée », a expliqué Russell au Daily Mail.

« Il faut adopter un autre état d’esprit. Mais je pense que Stuart Lancaster gérera les joueurs différemment des entraîneurs français. Lancaster et Farrell ont déjà une bonne relation et travailleront bien ensemble. Tout dépendra de leur vision et de celle des Français. »

L’enjeu pour le Racing 92 est de ne pas réitérer le rendez-vous manqué de Siya Kolisi qui avait signé pour trois ans en 2023 et qui a jeté l’éponge après moins d’une saison.

« C’est là que les tensions pourraient surgir, je pense », estime Finn Russell. « Owen s’adaptera très bien. J’ai eu une excellente relation avec lui en 2021 avec les Lions. On m’avait dit qu’il était très impliqué et exigeant, mais je n’ai rien constaté de tel. Je l’ai trouvé plutôt détendu et relaxé.

« On a bien rigolé ensemble. S’il garde cette attitude en France, tout se passera bien. J’espère qu’il réussira à s’intégrer au Racing. J’espère aussi qu’il apprendra la langue, car ça l’aidera beaucoup pour communiquer. C’est assez facile quand on arrive là-bas et qu’on parle anglais. »

Owen Farrell et Finn Russell ont tous deux participé aux tournées des British & Irish Lions en 2017 en Nouvelle-Zélande et en 2021. Alors que la tournée de 2025 est prévue dans 11 mois, l’Écossais est déjà considéré comme un sérieux candidat pour le poste de numéro 10 des Lions.

« Je crois que nos approches du jeu sont différentes, ce qui pourrait créer quelques frictions, mais je pense que nous serions assez bons coéquipiers pour surmonter tout ça et trouver un compromis », explique Finn Russell.

« On devrait pouvoir atteindre un équilibre entre nos styles. C’est un joueur exceptionnel, et j’adorerais jouer avec lui. Je ne sais pas s’il participera, mais si l’occasion se présente, j’adorerais partager le terrain avec lui – peut-être de retour au Racing dans quelques années, qui sait ? »

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

WhatsApp +15617263697

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

As a devoted father of two, my primary concern has always been the safety and well-being of my family. This commitment to my family's security was put to the test on February 6, 2025, when I embarked on a quest to find a trustworthy home security system that could offer us the protection we needed. After conducting some research online, I stumbled upon a security company that seemed promising, and I took the initiative to reach out through their messaging platform. Hours later, my phone rang, and I was greeted by a representative claiming to be from a well-known home security company. They were reaching out to inform me about a special promotional offer, which immediately piqued my interest. However, as the promised week came and went without so much as a peep from the company, my feelings of unease began to escalate. I attempted to contact the company again to inquire about the delay, only to find that the number I had called was suddenly disconnected. It was at that moment—when the reality of the situation hit me—that I understood I had fallen victim to a scam. The devastation that followed was profound; losing $40,000 was not merely a financial setback but a personal failure in my eyes—an inability to safeguard my family's future. The experience left me feeling vulnerable, exposed, and utterly defeated. Determined to reclaim my lost resources, I knew that swift action was essential. I turned to the internet for help and began researching options for recovering my funds. During this search, I came across BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, a company with a track record of assisting individuals who had encountered similar unfortunate situations. Intrigued by the success stories of people who had benefited from their services, I made the decision to reach out to them. From the moment I contacted BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was met with professionalism and empathy. Their team was understanding of my plight and remained reassuring throughout the process. They immediately set to work on investigating the fraudulent transaction and kept me informed at every step, alleviating some of the anxiety that had consumed me since the incident.Thanks to their diligence, expertise, and unwavering commitment, BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was eventually able to recover an astounding $35,800 of the $40,000 I had lost. The relief I felt was immeasurable; it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only did they help restore my finances, but they also provided me with something

invaluable—peace of mind.Their contact info is listed below.
