Sans Ronan O'Gara, un rugby français moins fort ?

Ronan O'Gara est en danger à La Rochelle

Dans le quotidien The Irish Examiner, avant la rencontre entre La Rochelle et le Munster, Ronan O’Gara déclarait : « Ma seule volonté quand j’ai terminé ma carrière au Munster en 2013, c’était d’en devenir l’entraîneur. »

« Et pourtant, aujourd’hui, j’affronte le Munster. Il y a forcément un lien assez fort entre les joueurs et moi. J’ai passé une semaine étrange, comme si on était revenu dans le passé, ou que le temps s’était accéléré, je ne sais pas… »

On a plutôt eu l’impression d’avoir un bon vieux flashback lors du drop passé Jack Crowley à la 70e minute, un coup de pied que n’aurait pas renié le coach rochelais.

« C’était assez ironique de les voir gagner comme ça, sur un tel drop. Personnellement, j’en ai tenté et passé pas mal, et je peux dire que celui-ci, il était beau. »

« L’espace d’un instant, j’ai cru que Jack Crowley était avec moi, avant de tilter que ce n’était pas la bonne équipe ! »

Au plus profond de lui-même, il y a fort à parier qu’O’Gara s’est dit : « Quitte à perdre, autant que ce soit contre le Munster. » Ce sentiment doux-amer n’est qu’une maigre consolation pour celui qui disait déjà de son club, actuellement 10e en Top 14, qu’il était en « chute libre » après n’avoir gagné que huit matchs sur 20 en championnat.

Pour n’importe qui ne suivant pas assidument le rugby français, cela semble absurde, surtout vu de l’étranger, mais Ronan O’Gara se retrouve aujourd’hui sous pression. Comme le disait le journaliste irlandais Peter O’Reilly récemment dans The Times : « O’Gara n’a jamais été aussi vulnérable en douze ans de coaching. Il ne reste que six matchs en Top 14 et son équipe se retrouve en difficulté en vue des phases finales, elle qui a toujours terminé parmi les six premiers depuis son arrivée en 2019. »

Le rapport entre le Top 14 et les entraîneurs étrangers a toujours été complexe et ressemble plus à une relation enflammée entre un homme et sa maîtresse qu’à un paisible mariage de longue date. La flamme se consume deux fois plus vite.

Lors du Tournoi des Six Nations 2025, la France est l’équipe qui a marqué le plus d’essais – 30 – et qui en a concédé le moins – 11. Le week-end dernier, quatre des six équipes du Top 14 se sont qualifiées pour les quarts de finale de Champions Cup, malgré les 27 essais encaissés au total. La France défend manifestement mieux que ses clubs.

Malgré cela, il y a moins d’un an, dans Midi Olympique, on pouvait lire que Shaun Edwards, entraîneur de la défense des Bleus, était remis en question. « Quelque chose s’est incontestablement cassé. La preuve étant que depuis le début de l’année 2023, les Bleus ont encaissé à six reprises plus de trois essais, alors que cela ne leur était jamais arrivé durant les trois premières années… [Edwards] était déjà apparu quelque peu déconnecté du reste du staff pendant la dernière Coupe du Monde, passant de longues heures en solitaire. »

Pourtant, on peut affirmer sans mal que l’arrivée d’Edwards est la plus belle chose qui soit arrivée aux Bleus ces dix dernières années. Pour O’Gara, le constat est le même. Certes, La Rochelle est sur la pente descendante et semble avoir atteint son meilleur niveau il y a déjà deux ou trois ans. Mais la présence continue du technicien irlandais dans le championnat a offert à ce dernier une visibilité inédite à l’étranger.

Il semble toutefois que le rugby français n’ait pas envie de découvrir jusqu’où il pourrait évoluer et semble se contenter de son propre jardin, certes plutôt fleuri. Mais, si cette mentalité permet de gagner quelques Boucliers de Brennus voire un titre de champion d’Europe, cela ne conduit pas à une victoire en Coupe du Monde.

Si O’Gara quittait La Rochelle, c’est la France qui en pâtirait. Ronan O’Gara a la personnalité pour faire le lien entre la culture rugbystique locale et l’exigence du rugby international.

Malheureusement, s’il a réussi à monter sur le toit de l’Europe à deux reprises avec les Maritimes, l’absence de Bouclier dans l’armoire à trophées pourrait avoir raison de sa présence sur le banc des Rochelais.

Si ROG n’aura pas de mal à retrouver un poste après La Rochelle, lui qui a été annoncé au pays de Galles, en Australie, à Leicester ou encore au Munster, reste à voir si La Rochelle saura trouver le coach pour décrocher son premier titre en Top 14.

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.

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.

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.
