L'Italie est revenue de loin contre la Géorgie

Mal embarquée, l’Italie a trouvé les ressources en deuxième période pour revenir puis prendre l’avantage sur la Géorgie ce dimanche (20-17).

Copieusement dominée par l’Argentine pour son premier match de la tournée d’automne, le week-end dernier à Udine (18-50), l’Italie a corrigé le tir ce dimanche face à la Géorgie, vaincue 20-17 à Gênes.

De quoi se rassurer un petit peu face à un adversaire certes plus accessible, une semaine avant de recevoir la Nouvelle-Zélande.

Mais que ce fut compliqué ! Les hommes de Gonzalo Quesada ont monopolisé le ballon (68% de possession), ont copieusement occupé le terrain adverse (74% d’occupation), ont multiplié les passes et passé beaucoup de temps dans les 22 m adverses mais à l’heure de jeu, ce sont bien les Lelos qui étaient devant au tableau d’affichage.

En effet, les Azzurri n’avaient inscrit que deux pénalités à la pause par Paolo Garbisi (21e, 30e) alors que la Géorgie jouait ses rares coups à fond avec une réussite certaine.

La Géorgie a fini par s’épuiser

L’ailier Aka Tabutsadze était à la conclusion d’un joli mouvement des siens (22e), puis Vasil Lobzhanidze doublait la mise peu avant la mi-temps (37e) pour donner un petit matelas d’avance aux visiteurs (6-17).

Mal en point, les Transalpins continuaient dans leur volonté du jeu et les Géorgiens finissaient par s’épuiser à plaquer plus que de raison (255 plaquages à l’arrivée, contre seulement 78 aux Italiens). les Lelos multipliaient les fautes (15 pénalités contre eux, 6 contre l’Italie) et concédaient un essai de pénalité assorti d’un carton jaune qui remettait complètement l’Italie dans le match (13-17, 52e).

Revigorés, les Italiens ne lâchaient plus leur proie et malgré des difficultés récurrentes en mêlée, finissaient par passer devant grâce au remplaçant Alessandro Fusco qui marquait deux minutes après son entrée en jeu (20-17, 62e).

Carbonisée, la Géorgie était incapable de réagir. L’Italie monopolisait le cuir durant les dernières minutes sans toutefois parvenir à se mettre à l’abri. Sans conséquence.

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

I am not really sure how this tour benefits France beyond showing NZ ways to beat them. They already know how to beat NZ.

Ireland won a series there in 2022 which prompted a year long shift in strategy to specifically beat Ireland. This was confirmed recently by Will Jordan.

Winning tight matches isn’t necessarily about psychology. It’s about having weapons to get over the line. For SA that was a scrum to win penalties and a kicker to either kick the penalty over or down the line if a try is needed. See SA v England in 2023 SF.

England used their jacklers to win penalties to get them deep into the 22 a couple of times late against France. Ireland improvised with drop kicks to win versus SA.

NZ spent decades fretting over choking in RWCs. Their strategy was often to develop such an outstanding team that pressure wouldn’t come into it. All they needed to do (France 99, 07) was to use some of their prep to learn how to neuter their opponents.

NZ have learned that lesson well and it should have gotten them a RWC win in ‘23 after knocking Ireland out. They will do the same against France or attempt to.

It doesn’t matter with SA v NZ because those teams are set up to beat/not lose against each other.

I don’t see NZ whipping the French second string and there is no benefit in showing NZ their hand.

I don’t agree with the image of International Rugby or respect comment. International Rugby should put all their focus on expanding the game (Tier 2) which was the supposed purpose of a RWC not as a status symbol for Tier1As.

No offense to Marshall and NZ, but if they demand respect they should give some too. Ireland certainly were not respected after their 22 series win and France won’t be either.

Waratahs snap losing streak against ill-disciplined Brumbies

My world came crashing down when I lost my entire life savings to a fraudulent investment scam. I had trusted an online platform promising high returns, only to watch my money vanish overnight. The scammers blocked me, and the authorities said recovery was nearly impossible. I felt broken, ashamed, and hopeless. Then, a day, i went on a search on the internet, forums hoping to find a way to recover my lost savings, then i came across a thread narrating how a well reputable firm named  "Alpha Spy Nest", a cybersecurity and digital forensics team specializing in scam recovery helped recover their lost/stolen savings. Desperate, I reached out, praying for a miracle. Their team was professional, understanding, and confident. They explained how they track digital footprints, freeze transactions, and pressure scammers using legal and technical methods.  They ask for the screenshots, trading platform, total amount lost to the scammer and also  wallets address which the transaction was made through. I provided them with the required details and information. Within few hours, they traced the funds to a crypto wallet and identified the scam ring’s operations. Using their connections with financial institutions and law enforcement, they initiated a recovery process. 10 hours later, I received a mail from Alpha Spy Nest that they had recovered 95% of my money. It wasn’t the full amount, but it was a lifeline.  More than the money, they restored my hope. Their dedication proved that justice could prevail. Today, I’m rebuilding, wiser and more cautious. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my funds they gave me a second chance.  If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up.
