Et si Vannes créait l'exploit en Top 14 ?

Vannes a décroché son premier succès à l’extérieur en Top 14 ce week-end, sur la pelouse de La Rochelle (14-23). Cette victoire vient redonner du baume au cœur des Bretons une semaine après la défaite 29-37 à domicile contre l’UBB alors qu’ils menaient 29-7 à la mi-temps.

Toutes les stats et les données

Si cette victoire ne permet pas encore aux Vannetais de décoller au classement (ils restent lanterne rouge avec 15 points), elle les maintient toutefois à 4 points de la 12e place.

C’est un moindre mal tant, dans le contenu, le RCV est au niveau du Top 14. Il ne semble lui manquer qu’un brin d’expérience pour s’installer définitivement en première division et faire en sorte que les performances du calibre de celle de ce week-end deviennent monnaie courante.

Néanmoins, ce n’est pas la première fois que ce genre de constat nous vient à l’esprit. Ces dernières années, en Top 14, des équipes séduisantes mais pour qui la roue n’a jamais fini par tourner dans le bon sens, il y en a eu.

La question se pose donc : Vannes est-il déjà condamné à la Pro D2 ?

Rien n’est fait

Évidemment, on a envie de répondre non. Déjà, parce que nous n’en sommes qu’à la 11e journée de Top 14 et que tout est encore possible.

De plus, Vannes évolue sans complexe et signe des performances rarement vues de la part de promus contre des cadors du championnat. En effet, même s’ils ont fini par s’écrouler contre les Bordelais, les Vannetais les ont mis à mal pendant une mi-temps complète.

Le souci, c’est que l’histoire récente du Top 14 ne plaide pas en la faveur des lanternes rouges après la première moitié du championnat (ou presque). Faisons le point.

Entre 2012/13 et 2022/23 – 2019/20 étant exclue car suspendue à cause du Covid 19 –, toutes les équipes qui pointaient à la dernière place du Top 14 ont terminé en Pro D2. Au tableau des équipes tombées à l’échelon inférieur, on retrouve Mont de Marsan, Biarritz (deux fois), Lyon, Agen (deux fois), Bayonne, Oyonnax, Perpignan et Brive.

Dix saisons de malheur au dernier…

La dernière équipe classée 14e après 11 journées à s’être maintenue, c’était Biarritz en 2011/12. Une autre époque.

La saison dernière, après 11 journée, c’est Montpellier qui était lanterne rouge. Oyonnax, qui a terminé à la dernière place, était 11e et comptait 20 points.

Comme Vannes, les Oyomen étaient dans le coup, dans le contenu, mais ils ont fini par craquer, notamment à cause d’un déficit physique général.

Pour autant, les motifs d’espoir semblent bien plus importants pour les Vannetais. D’une part, ils ne sont pas « capot ouvert » après l’heure de jeu et parviennent à rivaliser dans le combat du début à la fin des matchs.

Ensuite, ils peuvent compter sur des joueurs qui connaissent bien le très haut niveau. Francis Saili, par exemple, a porté le maillot des Auckland Blues, du Munster, des Harlequins ou encore du Racing 92, entre autres.

En troisième ligne, le Tongien Sione Kalamafoni a disputé trois Coupes du Monde et compte plus de 200 matchs sous le maillot de Gloucester, Leicester et des Scarlets.

Mais évidemment, le RCV est porté, devant, par Mako Vunipola, vice-champion du monde 2019 et 79 sélections avec l’Angleterre. Du haut de ses deux titres de champion d’Europe et cinq titres de champion d’Angleterre en club, il offre à ses coéquipiers une confiance très précieuse quand on lutte pour le maintien, qui plus est pour la première fois de l’histoire du club.

Vannes, une équipe qui a de la ressource

Rares sont les équipes capables de battre La Rochelle à Deflandre, pelouse sur laquelle les Rochelais n’ont perdu qu’une fois la saison dernière. Pourtant, Vannes l’a fait, qui plus est contre une équipe rochelaise au complet, hors période de doublon.

De plus, Vannes a déjà joué tous les « gros » et n’aura plus qu’à affronter Bayonne et Pau, deux équipes à sa portée, pour boucler sa phase aller en Top 14.

Ces éléments laissent penser que le RC Vannes a les cartes en main pour échapper à une relégation qui s’est avérée inévitable pour les équipes dans sa position ces dix dernières années.

Mais, pour cela, il faudra vite transformer l’expérience acquise sur le plan comptable.

Sean Everitt: 'People will say it’s the same old, but it’s not'

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

WhatsApp +15617263697

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!

What Newcastle 'can’t legislate for' as they face fellow basement dwellers

BITCOIN RECOMMENDED EXPERT HIRE DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY SERVICES


The ink doesn't wash off, but I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever. I'd stashed $130,000 worth of crypto away to turn my tattoo parlor into a fantasy parlor—black walls, neon lights, the hum of needles mixed with classic rock music. But fate is cruelly ironic.One night, having spent an eight-hour shift etching half a snake wrapped around a dagger, I came home to find the shop robbed. Cash register emptied out, machines thrown around like playthings, and the worst of all, my phone stolen. That phone had my 2FA codes, the sacred keys to my digital riches.Panic washed over me like road rash on bare flesh. Without 2FA, my Bitcoin was more secure than a welded-shut vault. I plunged into horror. Every hour out of reach was like watching a masterpiece rot in the sun.Desperate, I griped to a client at a cover-up session. He had a Bitcoin logo stitched on his sleeve, alongside a skull laughing maniacally in a Digital hat. He leaned back in the chair, grinning like an old road captain, and said, "Brother, you need Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Those guys do magic."So, taking his tip, I did call them up. From the very first phone call, they were sharper than a new needle. They were in the business—talking carrier records, blockchain synchronization, and security breaches like old truckers swapping stories of carburetor war battles and close calls.They labored fast. Five days went by before I got the call. "We got it," the technician said. My heart was revving like a helicopter engine. My Bitcoin was once more in my hands, safe and sound.The Digitals did not cease. They guided me through backups, multi-device login, and offline wallets. "One key in your pocket, another in the wind," they said. Biker street smarts meets crypto security.Now, my studio is thriving. That neon sign? It glows brighter than ever. And on my forearm? A new tattoo: a Digital hat, with flames and Bitcoin logos surrounding it. A reminder that in this world, both on the road and on the internet, it's not about not falling, it's about knowing who you can call to pick you up. Digital Tech Guard Recovery: They're by your side, even when the ride gets rocky
