Si l’Irlande a perdu le Six Nations, c’est qu’elle n’a pas su s’adapter aux nouvelles règles

C’est face à la France que l’Irlande est passée à côté de l’histoire. En remportant la victoire, et en espérant faire de même en Italie la semaine suivante, le XV du Trèfle serait devenu la première nation à remporter trois Tournois des Six Nations consécutifs.

L’Irlande n’a dû se contenter que de la Triple Couronne pour redorer une campagne mitigée finalement conclue à la troisième place, à deux points de la France.

Selon Bernard Jackman, ancien talonneur irlandais international (9 sélections) et ancien coach du FC Grenoble (2011-2017), la raison de l’échec est à rechercher dans les changements de règles imposés par la fédération internationale que l’Irlande n’a pas su vraiment prendre à son compte.

« World Rugby n’a jamais été aussi ambitieux ou radical dans sa manière de retoucher les règles. La motivation est claire : rendre le jeu plus rapide, plus spectaculaire et plus sûr — tout ça à la fois », écrit-il dans sa chronique pour l’Irish Independent sous le titre : « La taille importe moins car les nouvelles règles favorisent la vitesse et la domination aérienne
».

Jackman commence par souligner que le jeu au pied reste présent, mais son usage a évolué : les duels aériens sont redevenus centraux grâce à une meilleure application des règles sur les lignes de soutien et d’escorte.

Un recul dans le jeu aérien

« Avant, les joueurs étaient tellement performants dans ce rôle d’escorte qu’il devenait presque impossible d’avoir un véritable duel dans les airs. Ceux qui n’étaient pas à l’aise sur les ballons hauts voyaient cette faiblesse masquée. Mais aujourd’hui, avec le risque de concéder une pénalité bête, les joueurs qui reculent laissent plus volontiers les chasseurs de ballon foncer sans obstacle. Résultat : on assiste à de superbes duels aériens, souvent suivis de turnovers qui viennent casser le rythme du match et désorganiser les défenses. »

Mais selon lui, l’Irlande a reculé dans ce domaine : « On semble aujourd’hui moins à l’aise dans les airs qu’on ne l’était autrefois. On n’est pas l’équipe la plus instinctive, ni la plus dangereuse en jeu déstructuré. C’est donc un secteur qui devrait attirer toute l’attention d’Andy Farrell à son retour de sa parenthèse avec les Lions. »

D’ailleurs, Jackman cite l’arrivée de Brian Fenton, ex-footballeur gaélique, pour travailler les réceptions comme un signe que l’Irlande cherche à combler ce retard.

La nouvelle force du banc et des joueurs hybrides

Jackman aborde aussi la question des bancs en 6-2 ou 7-1, de plus en plus courants chez les grandes nations : « Certaines nations sont mieux armées pour jouer en 6-2 ou 7-1. » Il note que la France n’hésite pas à « vider son banc autour de la 45e minute », un choix stratégique qui a payé contre l’Italie, l’Irlande et l’Écosse.

Il salue également l’émergence de joueurs hybrides à l’image du troisième-ligne Oscar Jegou repositionné au centre contre l’Irlande, par la force des choses. « Ce sont l’accélération et les appuis qui font la différence, bien plus que les kilos ou les centimètres », insiste celui qui est passé consultant.

En conclusion, Jackman estime que l’Irlande doit s’adapter si elle veut exister dans le rugby moderne : « On n’a pas encore de vrais profils hybrides ni assez de profondeur devant pour jouer en 6-2 ou 7-1, mais ça peut – et ça va – se développer. »
Et il fixe l’objectif : « On a deux ans pour préparer notre groupe pour la prochaine Coupe du monde. Si on veut y briller, il faudra coller aux nouvelles tendances du rugby mondial. »

Montpellier vs Perpignan | Live & Latest Rugby Union Scores & Results | RugbyPass

In France, we deeply value financial security and independence. After my divorce, my life took a chaotic turn, and amidst all the turmoil, I misplaced the backup phrase for my Bitcoin wallet, which held a significant amount, $220,000. I was already grappling with emotional challenges, and the thought of losing my Bitcoin felt like the final blow.

In moments like these, I couldn't help but think of the French saying, “Il ne faut jamais dire jamais,” which means “Never say never.” Little did I know that this would become a mantra for my recovery journey. I spent days searching for that elusive phrase, going through old documents and turning my apartment upside down, but it was as if the universe had conspired against me—the backup was simply gone.

Feeling desperate and overwhelmed, I confided in a friend who works in the cryptocurrency space. He recommended Hack Buster Recovery, mentioning that they had helped many French investors in similar situations. Skeptical but out of options, I decided to reach out.

From the moment I contacted Hack Buster Recovery, I was struck by their understanding of my situation. They were professional and compassionate, reassuring me that I wasn’t alone in this struggle.

Within just a few days, I received the news that would change everything: they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin! The relief I felt was indescribable. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. In such a tough time in my life, Hack Buster Recovery became a beacon of hope.

They will lift the burden off your shoulders, just as they did for me. In moments of chaos, trust me when I say that Hack Buster Recovery can be the difference between despair and hope.

'He has found that sweet spot': Hurricanes extend Ngane Punivai

Life can unravel in an instant. For me, that moment came when deceitful cryptocurrency brokers vanished with £40,000 of my savings, a devastating blow that left me paralyzed by shame and despair. The aftermath was a fog of sleepless nights, self-doubt, and a crushing sense of betrayal. I questioned every choice, wondering how I’d fallen for such a scheme. Hope felt like a luxury I no longer deserved. Then, Tech Cyber Force Recovery emerged like a compass in a storm. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. What I found, however, was a team that radiated both expertise and empathy. From our first conversation, they treated my crisis not as a case file, but as a human tragedy. Their professionalism was matched only by their compassion, a rare combination in the often impersonal world of finance.

What happened next defied logic. Within 72 hours of sharing my story, they traced the labyrinth of blockchain transactions, outmaneuvering the scammers with surgical precision. When their email arrived, “Funds recovered, secure and intact,” I wept. It wasn’t just the money; it was the validation that justice could prevail. Tech Cyber Force Recovery didn’t just restore my finances, they resurrected my dignity. But their impact ran deeper. They demystified the recovery process, educating me without judgment. Their transparency became a lifeline, transforming my fear into understanding. Where I saw chaos, they saw patterns; where I felt powerless, they instilled agency. Today, I’m rebuilding not just my savings, but my trust in humanity. Tech Cyber Force Recovery taught me that vulnerability isn’t weakness, and that seeking help is an act of courage. To those still trapped in the aftermath of fraud: miracles exist. They wear no capes, but they wield algorithms and integrity like superheroes. To the extraordinary Tech Cyber Force Recovery team, your work is more than technical prowess. It’s alchemy, turning despair into resilience. You gave me more than my funds; you gave me my future. May your light guide countless others through their darkest nights. From the depths of my heart: Thank you.
