L’explication derrière le gros raté de Noa Traversier

Noa Traversier vs. Irlande

C’est une erreur qui collera longtemps à la peau du troisième-ligne de Bayonne Noa Traversier. Quasiment à la demi-heure de jeu, alors que la France mène deux essais (non transformés) à zéro, les Bleuets semblent en pleine confiance face à une équipe d’Irlande cantonnée dans ses 22, constamment sous pression, comme incapable de produire le moindre jeu.

La France lance une nouvelle attaque menée par l’ailier de l’UBB Jon Echegary, repositionné arrière sur cette rencontre, qui transmet au troisième-ligne Noa Traversier.

En face, personne, juste l’en-but à 15 mètres. Un boulevard est ouvert. Lorsque Traversier reçoit le ballon après qu’Echegaray a fixé deux défenseurs, Traversier est tout sourire. Il n’y croit pas : pour sa deuxième titularisation avec les Bleuets, il va marquer son premier essai. Il éprouve une joie immense qui se lit sur son visage.

Le sourire est tellement grand qu’il lui barre la vue, et il ne voit pas le rapide demi de mêlée irlandais Will Wooton qui arrive à fond et qui lui fait lâcher la balle à deux mètres de l’en-but. La boulette. Traversier s’est-il rendu bassement coupable de suffisance ?

Tout de suite, cette action a été qualifiée de « gros raté », même de « exceptionnel non-essai » par la Fédération Française de la Lose (FFL). Cette triste séquence restera dans les annales. Sur le banc, ses coéquipiers étaient hilares en revoyant les images sur grand écran.

Mais juste après, c’est la douche froide qui a remis les idées en place à tout le monde car cette erreur a ouvert une période difficile pour l’équipe qui a vu un (lui-même), puis deux, puis trois joueurs finir sur le banc avant la pause. Si bien qu’à la fin, avec le score de 12-22 on se dit que la France peut se sentir chanceuse d’avoir eu une faible équipe d’Irlande face à elle.

En conférence de presse d’après-match, le manager Cédric Laborde est revenu sur cet épisode. On le sentait fulminer depuis son box dans les tribunes, on imaginait l’immense coup de gueule à la pause. Mais après le match, sans doute rassuré par la victoire et soucieux de préserver le mental de ses jeunes joueurs, le ton était plus calme.

« Faut savoir, c’est une petite anecdote entre les deux, parce que Noa, c’est pas du tout ce genre de joueur. C’est plutôt un taiseux, un guerrier », expliquait-il.

« Et le petit truc marrant, c’est que Jon et Noa viennent du même endroit, de Bidart. Ils ont commencé le rugby ensemble, dans le même petit club du Pays basque. Donc, quand Jon lui fait la passe, y a tout ça qui se passe en fait… C’est son pote, en équipe de France, qui lui fait la passe pour aller marquer.

« Après le match, quand je débriefe avec lui, il me dit : “Mais j’étais trop heureux que ce soit mon pote qui me fasse marquer !” Et c’est ça qui l’a un peu sorti du contexte, qui lui fait commettre cette erreur. Mais bon, ce n’est pas un coutumier du fait, c’est quelqu’un de très humble. Je pense que ça lui servira de leçon aussi. »

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
