Les 3 menaces de la France identifiées par Gregor Townsend

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - MARCH 08: Gregor Townsend, Head Coach of Scotland looks on as the team warms up prior to the Guinness Six Nations 2025 match between Scotland and Wales at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on March 08, 2025 in Edinburgh, Scotland. (Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)

Le sélectionneur de l’Ecosse a suivi de près la déculottée de l’Irlande par la France et a pris des notes sur son futur adversaire qu’il rencontrera samedi 15 mars à 21h au Stade de France, en clôture du Tournoi des Six Nations 2025.

Certes la France devra faire sans Antoine Dupont, forfait. Mais ce n’est pas nécessairement un soulagement pour Gregor Townsend qui s’attend à un rude combat dans tous les cas.

« Maxime Lucu évolue dans une excellente équipe de Bordeaux », a-t-il fait remarquer lors d’une rencontre avec des journalistes. « Ils ont inscrit près de 70 points face à Exeter [victoire 69-17 à l’extérieur en Coupe d’Europe en janvier], et il avait été brillant ce jour-là. La France dispose donc d’autres numéros neuf de grande qualité. Et la profondeur du rugby français est impressionnante, que ce soit dans l’équipe elle-même, chez les trois-quarts, dans le groupe élargi…  S’ils optent pour un banc avec sept avants et un seul trois-quarts, c’est bien la preuve qu’ils ont des joueurs de très haut niveau à chaque poste. »

Défense hermétique

Ce qui tracasse Townsend également, c’est la qualité de la défense des Bleus. Face à l’Irlande, les attaques ont été incessantes pendant le premier quart d’heure. Au bout de 15 minutes, l’Irlande affichait même plus de 80% de possession et autant d’occupation. Ils sont repartis bredouille. Et d’un coup d’un seul, le match s’est inversé et pour leur première entrée dans les 22, les Français ont failli marquer.

« J’ai beaucoup revu ce match contre l’Irlande », a poursuivi Townsend. « J’ai regardé la première mi-temps avant de monter dans le bus de l’équipe pour notre propre match. L’Irlande a eu beaucoup de possession dans les 20 premières minutes, mais elle n’a pas réussi à franchir la défense française ni à marquer. Ce n’est pas dans leurs habitudes, eux qui sont généralement très efficaces dans les 22 mètres adverses. »

Ne pas gâcher de ballon

Troisième menace identifiée : l’opportunisme des Français. Et là encore, Townsend prend en référence le match contre l’Irlande.

« Chaque erreur irlandaise a été immédiatement sanctionnée par la France, qui a ensuite pris confiance. Quand les Bleus déroulent, que ce soit avec leurs avants qui combinent parfaitement ou grâce à leurs trois-quarts capables de coups d’éclat, ils deviennent extrêmement dangereux.

« Et à domicile, la semaine prochaine, ils seront portés par cette énergie et cette passion qu’ils affichent toujours au Stade de France », assure-t-il.

« Nous devons faire en sorte d’être précis, c’est sans doute le plus important. Chaque ballon que nous aurons, il faudra l’exploiter au mieux. Et ensuite, être aussi solides que possible en défense. Ils joueront un rugby différent, un jeu qui attaque beaucoup autour des rucks, à l’image de ce que fait Toulouse. »

La journée charnière de mercredi

Malgré le gros enjeu à venir – c’est tout simplement le titre qui se jouera sur la pelouse de Saint-Denis le 15 au soir, le staff de l’Ecosse ne compte pas changer ses habitudes et mise sur une bonne récupération de ses joueurs.

Repos ce lundi, entraînement léger mardi et séance à grosse intensité mercredi. « Plutôt que de répartir la charge sur deux jours, nous allons tout concentrer sur une seule journée avant de prendre l’avion jeudi », a confirmé le sélectionneur.

« L’engagement des joueurs montre que nous n’avons pas besoin de bouleverser notre approche. En revanche, notre défense devra s’adapter, car la France joue différemment du Pays de Galles, avec moins de largeur dans son jeu. Il faudra sans doute analyser certains points en dehors du terrain pour bien anticiper ce qui nous attend, mais la séance de mercredi nous permettra de tout caler. »

Premiership Cup semi-final draw and dates confirmed

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance.
