Singapour Sevens : l'Argentine et Team GB au bout du suspense

A Singapour, pour le dernier tournoi des Sevens World Series, la Nouvelle-Zélande a raflé la mise aussi bien chez les hommes que chez les femmes. Mais l’événement du week-end a été le sacre des Argentins, qui remportent le circuit pour la première fois.

Notre consultant Jean-Baptiste Gobelet, 44 tournois disputés à VII, 256 sélections au compteur, double champion d’Europe, revient sur le Singapour Sevens tout en se projetant sur la Grande Finale de Madrid et les Jeux Olympiques de Paris.

Une saison à la Messi ?

L’Argentine décroche le titre suprême des SVNS League World Series 2024 pour la première fois de son histoire. Les Sud-Américains continuent d’écrire leur histoire, signant un début de saison de rêve avec trois titres d’affilée sur quatre finales (Le Cap, Perth, Vancouver). Le Messi du Sevens argentin Santiago Gomez Corra a marché sur l’eau lors de ce World Series avec un ratio de points monumental : plus de 300 points au bout de cinq tournois. Les joueurs argentins écrasent tout sur leur passage, inscrivant avec des essais incroyables via leurs stars Rodrigo Isgro ou Marco Moneta. Avec 142 essais et plus de 900 points inscrits, les Pumas possèdent l’attaque la plus prolifique du SVNS World Series, et pourraient même dépasser la barre des 1000 points sur cette saison…

Malheureusement lors du Hong Kong Sevens, la machine s’est grippée avec la blessure de Moneta. Conséquence, leurs concurrents sont revenus dans les rétroviseurs au classement à un tournoi de la fin. La question, après cet échec, était de savoir si l’équipe était vraiment Moneta-dépendante. Il leur débloque énormément de situations grâce à sa vitesse et sa vision du jeu.

La réaction argentine ne s’est pas fait attendre lors du Singapour 7s avec un 33-5 assené en poule à l’équipe en forme du moment, la Nouvelle-Zélande. Les Argentins sont les seuls qui posent de nombreux problèmes aux All Blacks cette saison. Malgré tout, l’Argentine branchée sur courant alternatif va perdre son quart de finale face à l’Irlande dans un match à fort enjeu. On remarque une fragilité dans la maison Ciel et Blanc avec la blessure de leur match-winner. Malgré tout, il reste quelques mois afin de recharger les batteries pour aller chercher une médaille d’or aux JO et finir cette saison de rêve.

Mano a mano entre Irlande et Argentine

Un duel à distance pour la victoire finale des SVNS World Series se jouait lors du Singapour 7s entre Irlande (86 pts) et Argentine (94 pts). La dramaturgie atteignait son paroxysme en quart de finale. L’équipe du Trèfle battaient les Pumas 21-5, mettant les hommes de Santiago Gomez dos au mur : les Pumas se sont retrouvés dans l’obligation d’arracher la 5e place, synonyme du nombre de points nécessaires afin d’être champion 2024.

L’Irlande, le trouble-fête

Dans l’ombre des Argentins, les Irlandais réalisent une saison incroyable, affichant une régularité d’orfèvre (aucun résultat hors du Top 8) qui leur permet de gratter des points à chaque tournoi, jusqu’à pouvoir jouer le titre à Singapour ! Qui l’aurait cru ? Les Irlandais terminent à deux petits points des Argentins au classement général (104 pts). On sent cette équipe sans limites. Depuis leur intégration aux World Series, les coéquipiers de Harry McNulty ne finissent pas d’impressionner. Avec dans leur effectif des joueurs hors nomes comme Jordan Conroy et surtout Terry Kennedy, le meilleur marqueur sur le SVNS World Series (155 points, juste devant un certain Moneta avec 145 points).
Dans le sillage d’un Terry Kennedy virevoltant, les joueurs irlandais dégagent une sérénité hors du commun dans les matchs clefs. La finale du Singapour 7s en est la preuve : malgré deux essais précoces des Blacks (1re, 5e), les Irlandais sont restés au contact et se sont procuré quelques bonnes occasions de scorer.

La remontada de Team GB jusqu’à une médaille olympique ?

Team GB a dû réaliser une formidable remontada afin de se qualifier pour les playoffs de Madrid. Avec neuf points au compteur au terme des trois premiers tournois, Team GB réalisait le pire départ de la saison. Sans structure ni projet, l’équipe s’enfonçait de plus en plus bas. Mais les arrivées de Harry Glover, Ferguson ont permis de redynamiser l’équipe, devenue plus performante d’un point de vue comptable. Team GB coiffe sur le fil Team USA pour cette place en playoff et envoie les Américains dans la « Roulette Relegation » comme Mike Friday aime dire.

Cette remontada donne un peu d’air à Team GB, qui peut préparer plus sereinement leur tournoi de qualification olympique le 21 juin à Monaco.
Team GB et l’Afrique du Sud seront au coude à coude pour rafler le dernier ticket de repêchage, et devront prendre en compte un 3e larron, les Samoa. Cela s’annonce électrique. mais Team GB a l’expérience des tournois sous pression et leur retour en boulet de canon présage de bonnes perspectives pour les Britanniques.

Même si nous sommes ravis de revoir performer Team GB, je suis personnellement sceptique sur l’apport de Team GB au sein des World Series. Il faut comprendre que l’Angleterre, le pays de Galles et l’Écosse n’ont pas de comité olympique respectif. Ils sont unis sous la même bannière, Team GB, lors des JO, et ont décidé de s’unir aussi sur les World Series et les Coupes du Monde, faute de financement de leur fédération respective. La disparition de ces trois pays sur le circuit a un impact énorme à la fois sur le niveau sportif pour le moment, mais aussi sur l’aspect marketing.

La marque Team GB n’est pas aussi forte que la marque des Lions britanniques ou de l’équipe d’Angleterre. Il n’y a pas le même engouement sur une finale avec Team GB qu’avec l’Angleterre. Autre conséquence, on nous a enlevé la rivalité historique entre l’Angleterre et les différents pays. L’émulation et la ferveur lors des tournois ne sont plus la même dans les tribunes.

 Les Blacks voient double

Le réveil des équipes néo-zélandaises, masculine comme féminine, envoie un message fort à l’approche des JO de Paris. Ce double succès à Hong Kong et Singapour montre l’envie forte de la délégation néo-zélandaise de décrocher cette médaille d’or olympique qui manque tant à son palmarès.
Les hommes de Dylan Collier ont enchainé une 2e victoire coup sur coup et finissent fort leur saison pour finir sur le podium du SVNS World Series 2024.

Comme lors de la finale de Hong Kong, les Blacks ont exercé une forte pression défensive sur leurs adversaires et ont vite mené au score par Carter (1re) et Fehi (5e). Une fois le score pris, les joueurs de la fougère sont difficilement maniables notamment grâce a leur défense agressive ( 2e défense du circuit).

La France stoppée à Singapour

La France n’avait pas grand-chose à jouer sur cette étape du Singapour Sevens, un tournoi de fin de saison où beaucoup d’équipes en général font l’impasse en vue des compétitions estivales. L’équipe de France a fait tourner notamment ses playmakers au milieu du terrain (exit Riva, Parez, Dupont…). Même si je pense qu’il y avait une volonté de performer initialement dans la cité-état, on remarque que les esprits sont tournés vers la préparation olympique.

L’équipe de France a fait le boulot en sortant de poule face à l’Espagne, les Samoa et l’Afrique du Sud, malgré un manque de maitrise en fin de match face au Blitzboks. Malheureusement en quart de finale, elle n’a pas existé face à un Team GB surmotivé et large vainqueur à l’arrivée (7-35).

Le tournoi se termine pour les Bleus par une défaite face aux USA (17-19). Il faut vite tourner la page et les esprits vers Madrid, où l’équipe de France aura l’opportunité de briller à quelques semaines des JO de Paris. Avec le retour d’un certain Antoine Dupont pour la Grande Finale, on rentre dans la dernière ligne droite de la préparation olympique.

It was supposed to be a dream trip, a long-awaited journey from the USA to China to visit family and explore new places. I had spent months planning every detail, from the itinerary to the accommodations. But what started as excitement quickly turned into a nightmare when I fell victim to a fake flight ticket scam, losing $580,000 in the process. The betrayal I felt was indescribable. I had trusted the website, which looked legitimate, and even received what appeared to be a confirmation email. It wasn’t until I arrived at the airport that I realized I had been scammed. The ticket was fake, and my money was gone.I felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and helplessness. How could I have been so careless? I had worked so hard to save for this trip, and now it was all gone. I reported the incident to the authorities, but I was told that recovering the funds would be nearly impossible. That’s when I stumbled upon Hack Buster Recovery. At first, I was skeptical after all, I had already been scammed once. But I was desperate, and their reviews seemed genuine. I decided to take a chance and reached out to them. From the very first interaction, the team at Hack Buster Recovery was professional and empathetic. They listened to my story, asked for all the necessary details, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me hope. Over the next few days, they kept me updated on their progress, explaining each step of the recovery process in a way that was easy to understand. I was amazed by their expertise and dedication.To my absolute astonishment, within a week, Hack Buster Recovery successfully recovered my $580,000. I couldn’t believe it. The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. They not only got my money back but also restored my faith in humanity. Their team went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of, and I will forever be grateful for their incredible work.This taught me a valuable lesson about being cautious online, but it also showed me that there are still good people out there willing to help. Hack Buster Recovery is a true lifesaver, and I can’t recommend them enough. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope and reach out to them.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

It all started when I was lured into investing by an FX trader I met on Instagram. The trader seemed professional and confident, sharing stories of massive returns from their investments. They promised that I could make five times that back within seven days by investing a certain amount. The offer was too good to pass up, and it was a golden opportunity to grow my money. After all, the trader had proof of their success and seemed trustworthy. I decided to invest, and over the next five weeks, I paid a total of $7,200 to the trader's company. Each time I tried to withdraw my funds or the supposed earnings I’d accumulated, they came up with new excuses and reasons why I needed to pay more money before I could access my earnings. They claimed I had to cover additional fees, taxes, or "security deposits" before processing my withdrawal. At first, I hesitated, but with every new claim, they made it seem like I had no other choice if I wanted to see my money again. It was a frustrating and confusing process, and each time I questioned them, they reassured me that I would get my money soon. Eventually, I realized I had been scammed. I was fed up and desperate, but I didn’t know what to do. That’s when, luckily, I stumbled upon a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They recommended a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of crypto recovery experts who specialize in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent investment schemes. At first, I was hesitant. After all, I’d already been deceived once, and I wasn’t sure if I could trust another company. However, I decided to take the risk and contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery. I shared my transaction history and details with them, and within just seven hours, they asked for my wallet address. To my amazement, I received $6,300 back into my wallet. I can’t express how grateful I am to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for their help. They were professional, prompt, and thorough in their approach, and they truly helped me recover a significant portion of my lost money. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to recovery experts like Tech Cyber Force Recovery. They truly made a difference in my case, and I’m incredibly thankful for their support.You can reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery MAIL Techcybersforcerecovery@cyberservices.com

England player ratings vs Wales | 2025 Six Nations

I’m reaching out today with a heartfelt plea, hoping my experience can serve as a warning to others. I’m one of the millions who have lost everything to the Vourteige scam, and my story is a painful reminder of how easily trust can be exploited. It all started with promises of high returns: a 5-month contract, 2% monthly withdrawals on a free margin account. Everything sounded too good to be true, but I was drawn in by their convincing tactics and the allure of financial freedom. I trusted them so much that I borrowed a significant amount of money from banks, believing in the legitimacy of this investment. Unfortunately, I failed to see the warning signs and ignored the growing doubts I had.I ended up investing a substantial sum of $450,000, fully expecting to see profits and withdrawals, as promised. But that never happened. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t access any of my funds. The platform’s responses became more vague, and the withdrawals never came through. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and I was left in a situation that could have led to complete financial ruin.At this point, I felt utterly hopeless. I was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the thought of facing my family, especially my parents, with this news was unbearable. They had no~ idea how~ deep I had gone into this investment, and I couldn’t bear to lose their trust. The shame I felt was overwhelming.But just when I thought there was no way out, I discovered a legitimate recovery team called Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ They offered a glimmer of hope when everything seemed lost. The team worked tirelessly to guide me through the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover 100% of my lost crypto funds. I can’t express how grateful I am for their expertise, support, and the relief I now feel.I’m sharing my story not to relive the pain, but to warn others. If you’re considering investing in anything that promises high returns with little risk, please do your research. Check trusted websites like Reddit and others to see if others have had similar experiences. Be cautious, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t give up. There are legitimate recovery teams out there that can help. Protect yourself, your finances, and your loved ones. The risks are real, but there is hope for recovery. E m a i l : info @ trustgeekshackexpert .. com And w h a t's A p p  +1 7 1 9 4 9 2 2 6 9 3
