Les Blacks Ferns cassent le protocole royal, et c'est très sympa à voir

L’équipe nationale féminine de Nouvelle-Zélande est actuellement en tournée en Angleterre, afin de disputer un match de préparation au WXV qui sent la poudre. Les Red Roses face aux Black Ferns, c’est en effet ce qui se fait de mieux dans le rugby féminin actuel.

Mais en attendant le duel, programmé samedi, les joueuses néo-zélandaises alternent entre entraînements et visites. C’est ainsi qu’elles ont été reçues à Buckingham Palace par le roi Charles III himself.

Sous les ors de la monarchie britannique, la rencontre a donné lieu à un moment très sympa durant lequel les Black Ferns n’ont pas hésité à bousculer le protocole royal toujours millimétré.

Les joueuses avaient visiblement préparé leur coup, encore fallait-il avoir le courage de se lancer. C’est l’ailière Ayesha Leti-I’iga qui s’en est chargé.

« On voulait toutes vous demander si on pouvait vous faire un câlin », commence-t-elle. « Si ça ne pose pas problème ».

« Un câlin ? », répond le roi, visiblement surpris. « Pourquoi pas ? », enchaîne-t-il immédiatement en ouvrant ses bras dans lesquels s’engouffre une demi-douzaine de joueuses aux anges.

« J’ai beaucoup apprécié cette occasion de vous rencontrer et de recevoir une étreinte si chaleureuse de la part de la plupart d’entre vous », a déclaré le roi un peu plus tard au cours d’un discours improvisé. « C’est très réconfortant ».

Le roi Charles, qui souffre d’un cancer, se rendra en Australie et effectuera une visite d’État à Samoa pour un sommet des dirigeants du Commonwealth.

Mais il ne se rendra pas en Nouvelle-Zélande. « Je suis extrêmement désolé de ne pas pouvoir venir en Nouvelle-Zélande fin octobre à cause des ordres du médecin, mais j’espère qu’il y aura une autre excuse [pour venir] d’ici peu ».

Et recevoir un autre câlin.

The numbers show Super Rugby Pacific just got even tougher

“The competition is tough, because you’ve got to spit out performances every week, and to be able to do that consistently you’ve got to have good depth.”

You’ve got to look forward to next weekend more than anything too.

The bonus points view is a good one. The majority of bonus points earned in the first three rounds last season were for scoring three tries more than the opposition, while three quarters of bonus points in 2025 have gone to the losing side getting to within seven points of the victors.

They really use this sorta system? Much smaller pool of bonus points available, that would mean they have far less impact. Interestingly you must be withen winning range/chance in France’s Top 14 league, rather that just draw territory, so 6 points instead of 7. Fairly arbitrary and pointless (something the NRL would do to try and look cool), but kinda cool.


I said it Nick’s and other articles, I’m not sure about the fixed nature of matchups in these opening rounds. For instance, I would be interested in seeing an improved ranking/prediction/reflection ladder to what we had last year, were some author here game so rejigged list of teams purely based of ‘who had played who’ so far in the competition. It was designed to analyze the ladder and better predict what the real order would be after the full round robin had completed. It needed some improvement, like factoring in historical data as well, as it was a bit skiwif, but it is the sort of thing that would give a better depiction of what sort of contests weve had so far, because just using my intuition, the matchups have been very ‘level appropriate’ so far, and were jet to get the other end of the spectrum, season ranked bottom sides v top sides etc.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

I initially started trading with Pips Global because of the variety of trading accounts they offered, including their Funded Next accounts. These accounts seemed like an appealing opportunity, as they gave traders the chance to trade with a larger balance after successfully passing a challenge. For someone like me who was looking to scale up my trading without having to risk a significant amount of my own capital, it seemed like the perfect option. At first, I started with their Micro account, which had high leverage, fast market execution, and tight variable spreads. All these features seemed to align well with my trading goals, and I felt confident moving forward.However, things took a turn for the worse as I continued trading. I ended up losing a significant amount, around 30,000 AUD, due to what I now believe was a scam. The trades I placed weren’t executing properly, and there were discrepancies with the spreads and market conditions. I tried to reach out to Pips Global’s customer support, but I wasn’t receiving the kind of help I expected. It became increasingly clear that the platform wasn’t as reliable as I had originally thought, and I felt completely stuck.In my search for a solution, I came across PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, a service that specializes in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent brokers. Their team was highly professional, thorough, and patient. They guided me step by step through the entire recovery process, keeping me informed at every stage. They also provided me with solid advice on how to avoid falling into similar traps in the future. Thanks to PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, I was able to recover my 30,000 AUD, which was an incredible relief after such a stressful experience.If you’re considering trading with Pips Global, I strongly recommend doing thorough research before committing. Website; https://pyramidhacksolution.com While their Funded Next accounts and other account options might seem enticing, my personal experience with them was ultimately disappointing. I would advise anyone looking to trade with them to be cautious, especially if things don’t seem to be going as expected.If you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, I can’t recommend PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION enough. WhatsApp; +447414280914 Their expertise in fund recovery was a lifesaver, and they were instrumental in helping me get my money back. Thanks to their support, I’m now back on track, and I’ve learned a valuable lesson about being more cautious with online trading platforms.
