Face à l’Écosse, les Bleus ont un job à finir

Dernière à jouer lors du ‘Super Saturday’, l’équipe de France sait ce qu’elle devra faire face à l’Écosse pour soulever le trophée du Tournoi des Six Nations 2025.

Une semaine après son impressionnante victoire chez les Irlandais tenants du titre, le XV de France est en position idéale pour remporter le Tournoi des Six Nations, à condition d’éviter tout relâchement contre l’Écosse, samedi au Stade de France où la victoire s’imposera.

Les hommes de Fabien Galthié sont avertis que recevoir l’Écosse avec le titre dans le viseur lors de la dernière journée n’est pas une garantie : en 2021, alors que les Bleus devaient gagner avec le bonus offensif et plus de 21 points d’écart, ils s’étaient finalement inclinés 27-23.

« On en a reparlé légèrement parce que ce n’était pas exactement le même scénario », a expliqué l’ouvreur Romain Ntamack en conférence de presse.

La mission de 2025 semble en effet plus aisée : même si l’Angleterre fait carton plein samedi au pays de Galles, la différence entre les points inscrits et encaissés est tellement en faveur de la France (+106 contre +20) que les quatre points d’une victoire non bonifiée suffiront à coup sûr pour rester devant au classement et décrocher le deuxième titre de l’ère Galthié après le Grand Chelem de 2022.

Les Bleus sauront à quoi s’en tenir au coup d’envoi de France – Écosse

Dans tous les cas, la France, qui joue après l’Irlande en Italie et l’Angleterre dans le traditionnel ‘Super Saturday’ terminant le Tournoi, saura à quoi s’en tenir au coup d’envoi.

Jusqu’à présent, l’Écosse n’a pas fait la meilleure impression dans cette édition, mais reste un adversaire très dangereux qui n’a perdu que d’un point en Angleterre (16-15) et a fait le travail avec deux victoires bonifiées contre l’Italie (31-19) et le pays de Galles (35-29).

Mais en face, la France s’avance avec le plein de garanties, que ce soit son attaque de feu ou son banc destructeur, ainsi qu’une grande confiance après sa performance majuscule en Irlande (42-27). Record d’essais dans un Tournoi, meilleure différence de points, meilleur marqueur individuel sur une édition pour Louis Bielle-Biarrey, meilleur réalisateur français de l’histoire pour Thomas Ramos… les Bleus peuvent aussi chasser nombre de records samedi.

« Ils jouent un rugby qui s’appuie vraiment sur leurs points forts. Parfois, avec un pack massif, certaines équipes ralentissent le jeu. [Les Français] sont capables d’associer cette puissance à un style offensif, ce qui signifie que le jeu sera rapide, qu’il y aura des passes après contact et que les arrières auront le ballon », a loué le sélectionneur écossais Gregor Townsend, estimant voir « le meilleur rugby » pratiqué par une équipe de France.

Malgré cet hommage, les Bleus sont prémunis contre tout relâchement, ont assuré staff et joueurs au cours de la semaine. Fabien Galthié en a remis une couche au moment de la présentation de la composition des équipes jeudi.

« Il faut être vigilants parce qu’on est des Latins, c’est vraiment dans notre génétique de parfois être dans l’incapacité de reproduire des performances. J’ai toujours une alerte là-dessus, je ne lâcherai pas les joueurs là-dessus », a-t-il insisté.

Dupont sera-t-il au Stade de France ?

D’autant que les Bleus devront faire sans Antoine Dupont, gravement blessé au genou droit lors du match contre l’Irlande. L’habituel capitaine est resté auprès de ses partenaires au cours de la semaine malgré la douleur, mais sa présence au Stade de France pour soutenir ses coéquipiers est incertaine, selon Galthié.

Le capitanat est confié logiquement au troisième ligne Grégory Alldritt, qui avait tenu ce rôle lors du Tournoi 2024, et son poste derrière la mêlée est occupé par Maxime Lucu, auteur d’une entrée éblouissante contre les Irlandais après la demi-heure de jeu.

Fabien Galthié a aussi décidé d’appliquer la même recette que lors des deux derniers matchs, en alignant un banc avec sept avants et un seul arrière.

Malgré la blessure de Dupont et la sortie sur commotion du centre Pierre-Louis Barassi contre l’Irlande, l’option avait fonctionné grâce au replacement d’Oscar Jegou, habituel troisième ligne, au centre.

Poste qui sera cette fois occupé par le revenant Gaël Fickou, dont l’expérience – il va égaler Philippe Sella au premier rang des joueurs français les plus capés dans le Tournoi (50 matchs) -, offre d’autres garanties de ne pas céder au moindre relâchement.

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. Their team quickly got to work, explaining the recovery process in a way that put my mind at ease. It was clear they had dealt with cases like mine before, and their expertise gave me a flicker of hope.

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.

If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I wholeheartedly recommend Hack Buster Recovery. Their dedication, professionalism, and ability to deliver results are remarkable. 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. Thanks to them, I can now move forward with my life and focus on rebuilding my financial security.

'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.
