C’est plutôt inattendu mais pas immérité. Tommaso Menoncello a été élu meilleur joueur du Tournoi des Six-Nations 2024, Le jeune trois-quarts centre ou aile italien a rallié 33% des suffrages exprimés par les fans, et devance le N.8 anglais Ben Earl, le centre irlandais Bundee Aki et le trois-quarts aile de l’Écosse Duhan Van der Merwe.

A 21 ans tout juste, Menoncello disputait déjà son 3e Tournoi (il a fait ses débuts en 2022 contre la France) et a marqué les esprits, formant avec Juan Ignacio Brex une paire de centres complémentaire et dévastatrice.

« C’est une énorme surprise et un grand honneur d’être nommé Joueur du Tournoi des Six Nations », a confié le joueur, cité sur sixnationsrugby.com.

« C’est vraiment spécial de représenter mon pays et de porter le maillot de l’Italie aux côtés de mes amis et de mes coéquipiers. Réaliser des performances qui, je l’espère, inspirent les supporters, voilà ce qui me fait rêver. Le fait de remporter ce prix témoigne de la performance de l’ensemble de l’équipe d’Italie. C’est un signe de l’excitante aventure que le rugby italien s’apprête à connaître. »

Une récompense qui vient aussi saluer le parcours historique de l’Italie. Depuis leur intégration au Tournoi des Six Nations, jamais les Azzurri n’avaient terminé un Tournoi à l’équilibre. Cette année, si en termes de ranking l’avancée n’est pas spectaculaire (5e, comme en 2023), les Transalpins comptent autant de victoires que de défaites (2) et la balance aurait pu pencher du côté des victoires si la pénalité de Paolo Garbisi n’avait heurté le poteau en toute fin de match, contre la France (score final 13-13).

Menoncello est seulement le deuxième Italien à recevoir cette récompense. Un autre trois-quarts centre, Andrea Masi, avait été sacré en 2011. Le joueur du Benetton Trévise succède à Antoine Dupont, lauréat des deux derniers trophées (et même trois des quatre derniers), mais absent cette année pour cause d’engagement auprès de l’équipe de France à VII.

‘We don’t fear them’: Blitzboks ready for must-win clash with SVNS leaders

 I started getting into Bitcoin in late 2020 when the price was nearly at 30,000 USD, back at the time I was just following the footsteps of my friend, she saw it as a good long-term plan and I was on board with it so we started buying bit by bit at the end of every Month. Now fast forward to January 2023 when she came up with the great idea to go into crypto trading, this was supposed to be our game changer, we already accumulated a nice amount of Bitcoin since we started holding so once we invested with that we would make more than enough profits to last us and we won’t have to work anymore, amazing plan until it all went wrong, we invested with the wrong broker company that made away with all of our investments.. the agent blocked us Instagram and disappeared leaving us in the dark but all thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, getting in contact with Infinite Digital Recovery made it possible that we recovered back our money today, it took him less than 48hours to trace the transactions and accessed the company website database to recover our already hanging funds in our account, it was then we found out they continued trading with our Money and kept generating more profits, very fraudulent act and we made sure to take every penny of ours thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, You can also reach out to Infinite Digital Recovery for help for anyone in a similar situation, the contact details are below :
