SVNS : La France surfe sur sa médaille d’or olympique

L’équipe de France à 7 confirme son statut de champion olympique avec un début de saison solide, elle est actuellement troisième du SVNS Series après les deux premières étapes à Dubaï et Cape Town. Elle s’incline face à l’Afrique du Sud en finale du SVNS Cape Town après un parcours de titan en poule et en demi-finale. Les Bleus ont été impitoyables en phase de poule où ils ont écrasé leurs adversaires +38 face aux USA et +32 face aux Néo-Zélandais, un record pour les Français à ce niveau de la compétition.

L’équipe de France est en confiance à l’image de cette chistera de Zeghdar face aux Blacks. Les hommes de Benoît Baby ont marché sur l’eau en s’offrant une place en finale et en confirmant leur montée en puissance depuis le tournoi de Dubaï.

Les « Rookies » en mode patron au Cape Town 7s

La jeune garde bleue n’a pas attendu trop longtemps pour briller sur le SVNS Series, dans le sillage d’un Paulin Riva et Antoine Zeghdar monumental sur le tournoi, les jeunes ont impressionné dans les moments clefs.

La vitesse de Delamare, Desert et Poulzelgues sont des armes de destruction massive. Ils ont dynamité les défenses adverses à l’image de l’action folle de Simon Desert au buzzer en demi-finale contre les Fiji où il va déposer toute la défense fidjienne. Poulzelgues finit meilleur marqueur du tournoi de Cape Town. Quand on connaît la qualité de vitesse des Fidjiens, les performances individuelles françaises sont remarquables.

La précision de Arthaud au pied, Enahemo Arthaud a montré que l’on pouvait compter sur lui au poste de playmaking et surtout en tant buteur avec cette transformation dans les arrêts de jeu qui envoie la France en finale du Cape Town 7s. Il amène aussi dans le jeu au milieu du terrain beaucoup de pression sur les défenses adverses avec ses appuis, il provoque les défenses adverses régulièrement en poste de 5.

Point technique : La guerre du sol des Bleus

Malgré la défaite en finale, les Bleus ont impressionné dans le secteur du jeu au sol face aux maitres en la matière que sont les Sud-Africains, avec un combat titanesque de Riva et Zeghdar qui ont perturbé toutes les zones de contacts des Blitzboks et récupérant un grand nombre de ballons. Les Bleus étaient plus rapides sur les phases de ruck et plus réactifs sur les phases de contre-rucks notamment au milieu du terrain, où ils ont complètement déstabilisé leurs adversaires. La stat des turnovers est largement en faveur des Bleus sur le tournoi.

Les Olympiens assurent leur statut

Les cadres de l’équipe font plus que le job. Les Zeghdar, Parez, Riva ont réalisé un tournoi de haute qualité. Les Olympiens amènent ce que Antoine Dupont a amené aux Bleus à Los Angeles. Ce soupçon de confiance et de sérénité absolue. Nous avons vu des joueurs en total contrôle tentant des gestes spectaculaires qui réussissent. Ça réussit aujourd’hui car les joueurs jouent décomplexés et mettent l’intensité qu’il faut pour réaliser le geste idéal.

Quand on doute, automatiquement les gestes sont moins maitrisés et moins appliqués. Actuellement nous avons une équipe de France qui ne doute pas et qui amène la jeune garde pleine d’insouciance dans un jeu french flair que tous les supporters que nous sommes apprécient.

Les Blitzboks sont de retour

Les Sud-Africains n’ont cette fois ci pas tremblé et ont remporté le SVNS Cape Town 9 ans après leur dernier titre en 2015. Face à leur public, les Boks ont été cliniques en phase de poule avant se faire une frayeur en demi-finale face à la surprenante équipe d’Espagne. En finale, ils ont été malmenés par les Bleus dans le jeu au sol là où ils excellent d’habitude.

Coté joueurs, j’ai apprécié le retour de Ricky Duarttee, Rookie de l’année en 2023, qui a été magistral durant le tournoi pesant énormément sur le milieu de terrain. Il a été suspendu pendant six mois par la fédération sud-africaine pour des problèmes internes en termes de comportement ce qui lui a fait manquer les JO de Paris 2024. Il revient électrique sur le tournoi avec une solidité défensive énorme en 1 contre 1 et surtout une activité phénoménale au milieu de terrain.

Le nouveau visage de cet Afrique du Sud est le capitanat de Zain Davids, un joueur de + 100kgs, un bulldozer qui me rappelle le temps de Frankie Horne. C’est un joueur hors norme à la fois physique et tactique ce joueur qui prend de plus en plus d’épaisseur dans le système Blitzboks.

Et évidemment le coach Philipp Snyman, qui a repris les rênes de l’équipe en 2024 après un début chaotique. Il devient champion en tant coach du SVNS Cape Town après avoir mené l’équipe en tant que capitaine en 2015. Un symbole fort en Afrique du Sud qui rappelle l’héritage de la culture Boks année après année.

Rieko Ioane to join Leinster in bombshell move

Yeah exactly. I wanted to watch the last game because I saw the headline that Nick had done an article on it. I saw all the same flaws I had come to expect cause NZ troubles at international level. He grubbered it through with two men unmarked out wide, because he doesn’t have the passing or vision to get it to them. He through a wobbly spiral that nearly got intercepted getting to space out wide after that. Even his little pop pass for a try was uncertain and if anybody else was their would have been plucked out of the air but the defence. As it was the guy went over at close range for a try, but like you say, we know from the past that he still would have made that wrong type of passing choice (should have been a simple yet firm double pump) against better defenses. There were a bunch of other minor things too, getting bumped off, all just in the first half. Not that he didn’t do a lot of Leinster of course, I just care about what he can do in black, and well I definitely wasn’t going to get any good examples out of a onesided contest like that so gave up at about the 33/35min mark.


I was so disappointed because I really do want him to develop and be able to use all his skills. I still remember really enjoying his audacity as a young fella to try things for the All Blacks. Things that when they went wrong got him unceremoniously vilified. I suppose he was another example of a player from that error mismanaged, or impacted by mismanagement, thrust into the starting role of a All Black fullback, mostly to allow Beauden to play 10. He really wasn’t ready at all to be used full time like he was. But I still feel that if he can just get to the right size he can make carrying the ball (and defence) his best attribute, and that will make it so much easier everywhere else. On the 10, what the 13 needs to be doing, and on himself to not require anything too special with the other options of pass or kick, because he’ll give himself so much extra time if the defence is actually worried about him breaking the line.


I was shocked to find the Jordie was Nicks main example for how well they’re playing LOL!

Defensive woes won't stop Moana Pasifika from being contenders

I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.

One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.

Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.

Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.

By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.

I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com
