Les U20 féminines françaises, l’équipe à battre sur le U20 Summer Series

Pour la première fois les U20 féminines vont participer à une compétition internationale et la France fait figure de favorite dans cette nouvelle compétition, le U20 Summer Series organisé par Six Nations Rugby à Parme du 4 au 14 juillet.

En dix jours, chacune des six équipes du Six Nations – France, Angleterre, Ecosse, Pays de Galles, Irlande et Italie – devra disputer trois rencontres, ce qui est une grande première et un véritable défi pour ces équipes jeunes.

Les équipes du Six Nations avaient jusqu’alors participé à un festival pour les U18 en 2022 et 2023, auquel la France avait pris part avec succès. En 2022, la France remportait la toute première édition de ce que l’on appelait alors le Festival européen, après trois victoires contre l’Irlande et l’Angleterre. L’année suivante, la même équipe décrochait le Grand Chelem du Festival des Six Nations en remportant cinq matchs sur cinq. À cette époque, une telle compétition pour cette catégorie d’âge était déjà historique.

Le Summer Series Féminine 2024 est dans la suite logique et, comme l’indique Claire Cruikshank, sélectionneure de l’équipe d’Écosse des moins de 20 ans future adversaire de la France, « l’introduction d’une équipe des moins de 20 ans représente la prochaine avancée majeure pour le rugby féminin. C’est un élément qui a toujours manqué. »

La domination européenne

Ces résultats ont tout de suite fait de la France l’équipe à battre au niveau européen et la dernière rencontre en date face à l’Angleterre le 20 avril dernier à Rouen n’a fait que renforcer ce sentiment.

Avec un score final de 74-0, dont 22-0 à la mi-temps et huit essais marqués en seconde période (dont un triplé de la jeune ailière/arrière internationale Kelly Arbey), l’équipe a obtenu sa 20e victoire sur les 21 dernières rencontres. La dernière fois que l’Angleterre a battu la France à ce niveau remonte à 2011.

« On gagne très largement mais c’est un match très dur, acharné, les contacts sont forts. On ne passait pas comme dans du beurre. On a une opposition qui nous fait face et sur le tournoi qui va arriver, elles vont arriver vraiment remontées. De perdre aussi largement, tu prends un coup dans ton ego et il va falloir beaucoup s’en méfier », anticipe déjà la capitaine Zoé Jean.

Le Crunch sera le troisième et dernier match de la série le 14 juillet. Auparavant l’équipe de France des U20 féminine aura joué le Pays de Galles (4 juillet) et l’Ecosse (9 juillet).

« J’espère que le niveau de jeu amènera à aller encore plus loin, pourquoi pas à un Tournoi des Six Nations qui pourrait arriver plus tôt que prévu, ainsi qu’une Coupe du Monde comme ça se fait chez les garçons », rêve déjà Caroline Suné, manageuse des Bleuettes.

« Pour moi, c’est un tournoi crucial. La qualité du jeu qui sera produit, l’engouement, peut avoir des conséquences. »

En Italie, l’équipe de France pourra compter sur certaines joueuses qui ont depuis fait leurs premiers pas au sein du XV de France féminin telles que l’ailière/arrière Kelly Arbey (2 sélections) et Suliana Sivi (1 sélection) ou bien encore les septistes Lilou Graciet et Cléo Hagel.

Ce groupe puissant a un objectif ambitieux : conserver sa domination sur les autres nations européenne qu’elle cultive depuis quelques années.

« Le Summer Series, je le compare à ce qu’on avait vécu en U18. C’était la première et dans nos têtes on est à jamais les premières ; on a gagné. Et là, ce sera la première fois aussi », indique Zoé Jean, troisième-ligne centre du Stade Toulousain, un club synonyme de suprématie dans le rugby français et européen. Un signe ?

Waratahs turn to 'tough bugger' for captaincy with more history on the line

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!

Six Nations: 5 things we've learned from half-way point weekend

My wife won’t let me make love to her without the use of protection (condom) this has been going on for over 3 years ever since we got married and I have been worried about this cause she won’t let us make babies, a friend of mine referred me to a hacker to hack into her phone to know the root and why she won’t let me make love to her without protection so I hired darkhatthacker@gmail.com When the phone hack was successfully done I had access to her phone, from her WhatsApp to her text messages and also deleted messages then I saw that my wife has been having an affair with someone else and planning on relocating with the man, also she is getting married to him in few months time that’s why she has been avoiding getting pregnant for me. I cried my eyes out because I loved and respected her but all thanks to my friend for referring me to someone like darkhatthacker@gmail.com This hacker did a great job for me even till now my wife doesn’t know I know all her plans.

Sale Sharks refuse to give up on new stadium dream

It's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.

Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
