La rencontre avait débuté avec du retard à cause d’une scène aussi inquiétante que surréaliste. Un parachutiste censé déposer le ballon du match s’est retrouvé accroché au toit du Stadium à cause du vent. Les personnes sur place ont d’abord agi dans l’urgence en empilant les boucliers et même un jeu gonflable pour enfant en cas de chute, avant que les pompiers ne viennent secourir l’individu avec une nacelle, au grand soulagement de tout le monde.

Le premier essai du Stade a été marqué dès la deuxième minute. Les Toulousains ont vite touché le couloir droit, où Blair Kinghorn a percé. Le ballon a ensuite été libéré au large, Ramos a navigué, trouvé Meafou qui a échoué juste avant la ligne, mais Willis a aplati sur le temps de jeu suivant.

Sale a réagi dans la foulée en inscrivant un essai à la 4e minute via Luke James. Après plusieurs temps de jeu passés à balayer le terrain, les soutiens ont été là à chaque percussion. Les Toulousains ont manqué quelques plaquages et l’arrière a pu échapper à Graou pour aplatir côté droit.

Sur les dix premières minutes, les débats ont été équilibrés, les gratteurs s’illustrant des deux côtés. Les Toulousains ont eu du mal à s’installer dans le camp des Sharks, même si Capuozzo, après un bon travail personnel et un coup de pied à suivre, pensait envoyer Thomas Ramos à l’essai dans l’en-but à la 11e minute. Mais l’arrière n’a pas réussi à contrôler le ballon.

Dans le combat, notamment en mêlée, et dans le jeu au sol, les Anglais ont réussi à contrarier les locaux. En place offensivement et faisant davantage preuve d’agressivité, les Sharks ont mis Toulouse en difficulté. Ils se sont récompensés de leurs efforts à la 20e minute sur une pénalité de George Ford récupérée après une faute de Meafou. Les Anglais ont ainsi pris un avantage mérité.

Plus incisifs au plaquage, les Sharks ont montré pourquoi ils sont l’une des meilleures défenses d’Angleterre. Chaque offensive toulousaine a fini par un turnover ou un ballon gratté par les Anglais. Sale a fini par aller à l’essai à la 29e minute après une belle séquence. Après plusieurs percussions efficaces, Jonny Hill a aplati côté droit pour permettre aux Anglais de prendre le large.

Impressionnants d’efficacité, les Sharks pensaient inscrire un troisième essai via Tom Roebuck, leur serial marqueur, sur un joli coup de pied rasant dans le petit espace sur l’aile droite de Robert du Preez, mais le pied de l’ailier anglais est entré en contact avec la ligne de touche au moment où ce dernier a touché le ballon.

À la mi-temps, les Sharks menaient 15-10 après une première période étonnante de maîtrise et dominée dans les zones de combat.

Du côté des Rouge et Noir, le constat était lucide : « Il faut que l’on remette la main sur le ballon et que l’on regagne nos duels en défense et en attaque », disait Ange Capuozzo au micro de France 2. Quant à Julien Marchand, interrogé par BeIn Sports, il allait dans le sens de son ailier. « Il faut que l’on remette les choses dans l’ordre, les rucks, les plaquages… Toutes les choses qui font gagner un match, on ne les met pas en place. »

Sale a d’abord montré qu’il n’allait pas baisser le rythme, mais Toulouse est revenu avec de meilleures intentions en deuxième période. À la 47e minute, après une pénaltouche, Cros a trouvé l’espace dans le couloir et est allé égaliser en force avant que Ramos ne transforme pour donner l’avantage aux siens.

Mais les Anglais se sont vite remis à faire déjouer les Toulousains, forçant Ugo Mola à faire entrer du sang neuf plus tôt que prévu dans la rencontre. Toulouse a multiplié les fautes techniques à la main comme au pied pendant un quart d’heure après cet essai.

C’est donc en s’en remettant aux fondamentaux que Toulouse a inscrit son troisième essai. Sur une pénaltouche puis sur un ballon porté, les avants se sont remis au combat, ont enchaîné deux percussions, puis Julien Marchand a pu passer la ligne en force.

Le Stade s’est brièvement remis dans le sens, reprenant notamment le dessus en mêlée, mais ils ont eu du mal à se défaire de l’équipe anglaise, cette dernière étant toujours présente pour enrayer les actions toulousaines.

Les locaux pensaient enfin inscrire l’essai libérateur à la 73e via Joel Merkler après plusieurs séquences parfois désorganisées, mais Capuozzo avait mis le pied en touche plus tôt dans l’action.

Las, sur le ballon récupéré par ce même Capuozzo à l’issue de la touche anglaise, l’Italien s’est offert un slalom incroyable depuis l’entrée des 40 m pour aller aplatir sous les poteaux.

Malheureusement, au moment de marquer, Capuozzo s’est retrouvé avec la jambe en porte-à-faux et a dû sortir sur civière.

Du parachutiste accroché au toit et du coup d’envoi décalé à la blessure d’Ange Capuozzo, l’élément fort du moment du côté de l’attaque toulousaine, la qualification aura été laborieuse et couteuse.

À la 76e minute, Guillaume Cramont a profité d’un gros dégagement et d’un immense contre-ruck sur la ligne de Sale pour y aller de son essai.

Sans Antoine Dupont, les Rouge et Noir ont vécu une après-midi certes victorieuse, mais ont été longtemps contrariés par des Anglais organisés qui ont joué crânement leur chance.

Pour rappel, après la blessure de Dupont, le staff a décidé de se passer d’un joker médical et de compter sur Graou et Saito en 9 ainsi que sur la polyvalence de Capuozzo pour combler cette absence.

Le quart de finale contre un Toulon en forme promet un duel bien plus équilibré qu’annoncé.

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.

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.
