L'Italie a tenu tête à l'Angleterre une mi-temps

Par AFP
LONDRES, ANGLETERRE - 9 MARS : Le 3e ligne anglais Ben Earl marque le septième essai de son équipe malgré le plaquage du demi de mêlée italien Martin Page-Relo lors du match du Tournoi des Six Nations 2025 entre l'Angleterre et l'Italie à l'Allianz Stadium le mars 2025 à Londres, Angleterre.

L’Angleterre a brisé la résistance de l’Italie (47-24) et libéré sa puissance offensive dimanche à Twickenham pour maintenir intact son rêve de titre dans le Tournoi des six nations, cinq ans après le dernier.

Le XV de la Rose, sacré pour la dernière fois en 2020, sera en mission samedi prochain au pays de Galles et misera dans le même temps sur une contre-performance de l’actuel leader, la France, contre l’Écosse.

Les voisins britanniques ne donneront peut-être pas le coup de pouce voulu, mais les Anglais ont tout fait pour y croire jusqu’au bout, en tout cas.

« Nous devons juste faire ce que nous avons à faire la semaine prochaine », a commenté le deuxième ligne Ollie Chessum sur la chaîne ITV. « Le pays de Galles chez eux, c’est toujours un gros match », a-t-il mis en garde.

D’abord accrochés par des Italiens efficaces en attaque, Maro Itoje et ses partenaires ont déroulé leur partition offensive sans fausse note avec sept essais, dont six transformés par le jeune ouvreur Fin Smith.

« Nous voulions faire circuler le ballon, trouver des espaces et être agressifs avec le ballon en main », a résumé le capitaine Itoje.

Le bonus offensif leur permet de prendre la deuxième place du Tournoi (15 pts) aux dépens de l’Irlande (3e, 14 pts) avant l’ultime journée. Le XV de France (16 pts) compte un point de plus que l’Angleterre, la seule équipe qui l’a battu durant cette édition.

Ollie Lawrence blessé

À Cardiff face au dernier, le sélectionneur Steve Borthwick ne pourra en revanche sûrement pas compter sur le puissant centre Ollie Lawrence, blessé tout seul en tout début de match sur blessure, et sorti du terrain au bord des larmes.

Cet incident a contraint les Anglais à se réorganiser : Elliot Daly a basculé au centre, laissant le poste d’arrière à l’entrant Marcus Smith.

Il explique peut-être en partie les difficultés des hommes au maillot blanc dans la première demi-heure, atteinte sur le score de 14-14, avec deux essais pour chaque équipe.

Légèrement devant à la mi-temps (21-17), ils ont usé l’Italie de Paolo Garbisi en seconde période avec les jambes de feu de Marcus Smith et un deuxième essai de l’ailier Ollie Sleightholme, notamment, sur une dernière passe du talonneur Jamie George, à l’honneur pour sa 100e cape.

Ben Earl a franchi l’en-but italien après la sirène pour un ultime essai, avant que Fin Smith ne manque sa transformation en coin, son seul échec.

Les visiteurs devront encore attendre avant de battre l’Angleterre, ce qu’ils n’ont jamais réussi à faire en 32 confrontations.

En conclusion du Tournoi, ils recevront à Rome un XV d’Irlande déterminé à finir sur une bonne note, une semaine après sa défaite contre la France.

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)
