Ravi de pouvoir être « premier dans tous les combats », l’Anglais Jack Willis a dit savourer l’ « immense honneur » d’être capitaine du Stade Toulousain pendant la période des doublons, au moment où le leader du Top 14 s’apprête à recevoir Bayonne samedi lors de la 17e journée.

Toutes les stats et les données

À 28 ans et pour sa troisième saison dans la Ville rose, le troisième ligne a trouvé sa « place dans le groupe » et prend une autre dimension pendant les rassemblements internationaux, lui qui n’est pas sélectionnable avec l’Angleterre, car évoluant en France.

On vous voit prendre votre rôle de capitaine durant les doublons très à cœur, était-ce le bon moment pour endosser ce rôle ?

« Oui je pense, j’ai été très surpris quand on me l’a annoncé pour la première fois, c’était un immense honneur. J’ai fait de mon mieux pour montrer l’exemple, et j’ai adoré ça. Il y a plein de super leaders ici, il faut juste prendre son temps pour trouver sa place. Les autres voient que je fais de mon mieux pour le groupe, que c’est vraiment mon objectif. »

Pendant les doublons, vous accompagnez les plus jeunes qui sont alignés, quel regard portez-vous sur eux ?

« C’est une super opportunité pour eux pendant cette période. Ils peuvent montrer de quoi ils sont capables. On a énormément de très bons internationaux, mais quand ils s’en vont, ça libère de la place et ça crée des opportunités. »

« Dans le rugby anglais, on crie plus »

« Je pense que c’est une bonne chose pour le club, qui peut lancer de nouveaux joueurs d’année en année. Ça montre qu’on a de super jeunes au centre de formation. On essaie de jouer avec de l’agressivité, et beaucoup de cœur. »

On vous voit d’ailleurs célébrer certaines actions défensives comme des essais…

« C’est plus anglais que français de faire ça ! J’essaie de célébrer ce genre de moments pour amener de l’énergie au groupe. Dans les deux cultures, les gens veulent gagner, mais dans le rugby anglais, on crie plus (…) Mais je crois que c’est plus dur (d’être capitaine) si tu es ailier, car tu n’es pas le premier dans tous les combats. »

Prenez-vous un peu de recul quand les internationaux français réintègrent le groupe ?

« Ça dépend, je pense que ce qui est très important pour un leader, c’est de comprendre qu’il faut prendre la parole au bon moment. Il ne faut pas qu’il y ait trop de personnes qui parlent. On a de très bons capitaines, comme Antoine (Dupont), Thomas (Ramos), Julien Marchand et François Cros. Quand ces gars sont tous là et qu’ils prennent la parole, je préfère les laisser parler, à moins que j’estime que quelque chose doive être dit. »

« J’adore la façon dont on joue ici »

Quels sont les capitaines dont vous vous inspirez ?

« Quand j’étais jeune, j’ai connu James Haskell, aux Wasps. Il était très agressif sur le terrain. Mais quelqu’un que j’ai trouvé très bon aux Wasps, c’était Joe Launchbury. Il avait tout le temps la tête sur les épaules, toujours ‘la tête froide’ (dit-il en français, NDLR). Il disait les bonnes choses au bon moment, il était toujours en phase avec le groupe. »

Comment avez-vous adapté le jeu à la main de Toulouse à votre profil de combattant ?

« J’adore la façon dont on joue ici, c’est très différent de ce qu’on fait en Angleterre, où c’est beaucoup plus structuré. J’ai beaucoup aimé adapter mon jeu ici. Mon jeu après contact est bien meilleur maintenant, je regarde les espaces qu’il y a plutôt que de juste baisser la tête et foncer. J’ai beaucoup travaillé avec l’entraîneur des ‘skills’ David Mélé. On a beaucoup travaillé le jeu après contact, les passes, surtout pendant ma première année pour me mettre au niveau du reste du groupe. Mais c’est aussi dû à notre manière de nous entraîner, très intensément, avec beaucoup de passes rapides. Il faut s’adapter. »

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. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance. If you ever find yourself in a crypto scam, don’t lose hope—there are still heroes in the digital world.
