Un succès d’autant plus marquant face aux champions sortants qu’il a été obtenu à 13 contre 15 : avec les deux piliers blessés et le carton rouge reçu par le ‘pilar’ remplaçant Daniel Lienert-Brown (57e), les gars de Dunedin n’ont eu d’autres choix que de sortir un joueur de plus pour compenser l’impossibilité de disputer les mêlées (règle de la carence).

C’est là que Tavatavanawai a enfilé sa cape de super héros. Trois turnovers en défense, un 50-22 capital et des gains de ligne d’avantage à chaque prise de balle ou presque.

Le joueur de 27 ans a marqué les esprits et Justin Marshall s’est empressé de plaider sa cause, estimant qu’il méritait de revêtir le maillot noir.

Tavatavanawai a repoussé les Fidji pour privilégier les All Blacks

« Je vais être franc : si Timoci Tavatavanawai ne fait pas partie des discussions autour de la sélection des All Blacks, c’est que quelque chose ne va pas », a lâché l’ancien demi de mêlée, 81 sélections avec la Nouvelle-Zélande, dans le podcast DSPN.

« Il pourrait jouer pour les Fidji depuis longtemps, mais il a toujours dit non, car il veut représenter les All Blacks. Il ne s’agit pas seulement d’un grand match ce week-end. Les trois dernières saisons, il a évolué à un niveau régulièrement incroyable. Il a souvent été élu Homme du match en NPC (le championnat des provinces néo-zélandaises, NDLR).

« J’ai beaucoup la façon dont il est passé de l’aile au poste de premier centre. C’est exactement ce qu’a fait Ma’a Nonu, ce qui a fait de lui l’un des meilleurs N.12 du monde. »

L’ancien Montpelliérain juge que Tavatavanawai « dispose de tout ce dont les All Blacks ont besoin pour en faire un atout de choix sous leur maillot. Il sait faire jouer autour de lui, il a montré ce week-end que son jeu au pied était bon, on sait à quel point il est bon ballon en main. Défensivement, c’est un roc. Il est rapide, très difficile à plaquer. Il faut deux défenseurs pour le stopper chaque fois qu’il porte le ballon ».

Tavatavanawai pourrait découvrir les All Blacks face à la France

Surnommé ‘Jim the Difference’ dans sa province de Malborough (nord-est de l’île du sud), Tavatavanawai a signé une prestation démentielle contre les Blues : 16 courses avec ballon, sept défenseurs battus, deux passes après-contact, neuf plaquages à 100% de réussite, trois ballons grattés en 80 minutes.

« S’ils (le staff des All Blacks, NDLR) ne se demandent pas comment utiliser ce joueur, comment l’intégrer aux All Blacks, c’est qu’ils ne regardent ce qu’ils sont censés regarder. S’il continue comme ça, c’est selon moi un joueur que les All Blacks devraient regarder de près », poursuit Marshall.

« Quand tu as joué ailier et 12, tu peux jouer 13. Et ce sont des postes qu’ils ont dit devoir renforcer parce qu’il n’y a pas assez de profondeur au centre. Il doit faire partie des conversations, aucun doute là-dessus. D’après ce que j’ai vu, il a vraiment du talent. »

Scott Robertson et ses adjoints ont quelques mois pour observer le phénomène et prendre une décision. Le prochain match de la Nouvelle-Zélande est prévu le 5 juillet prochain, avec le premier des trois tests estivaux face à la France.

Sam Prendergast leading race for Lions 10 jersey claims recent tour captain

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)

Premiership Cup semi-final draw and dates confirmed

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin.
