Les Bleues veulent « profiter » du match contre le pays de Galles à Brive, samedi 12 avril, qui sera le dernier à domicile du Tournoi avant deux déplacements, dont celui en Angleterre, s’est projetée l’ouvreuse Carla Arbez après un entraînement en forme d’opposition contre l’Afrique du Sud.

« On s’est préparées de la manière la plus sereine possible. En plus ça va être à la maison, donc il faut qu’on en profite et cela peut nous porter lors des moments plus faibles », a souligné la joueuse du Stade bordelais en conférence de presse mardi, à quatre jours de la réception des Galloises à Brive, dans un stade qui sera comble.

Après deux victoires en Irlande puis contre l’Ecosse à La Rochelle et une semaine de pause, les Bleues enchaînent leurs trois derniers matchs du Tournoi, contre le pays de Galles, l’Italie et surtout l’Angleterre à la dernière journée.

« Il faut valider » ce bon début du Tournoi lors du match contre le pays de Galles, « faire plaisir au public et à nous-mêmes pour basculer sur l’Italie et une belle finale comme on arrive à le faire d’habitude », a aussi expliqué la troisième ligne Axelle Berthoumieu.

Pour se préparer aux Galloises, les Bleues ont fait une opposition contre les Sud-Africaines, qui passent la semaine à Marcoussis et qu’elles retrouveront en phase de groupes de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2025 en août.

« Ce ne sont pas les plus techniques, mais ce sont les plus coriaces. On veut développer notre défense et on savait qu’elles seraient à 100 % donc ça faisait une belle opposition », a expliqué Carla Arbez.

« C’est une équipe qu’on ne joue pas trop mais cela tombe bien car le pays de Galles est une équipe très solide. Donc on sera aussi bien attendu en défense. C’était un vrai match pour se mettre en confiance pour ce week-end », a complété Axelle Berthoumieu.

Late Makazole Mapimpi try earns the Sharks win away to Edinburgh

Jake White described this as the strongest Sharks lineup ever. There is no doubt that it is at least an impressive roster. They did win, which is obviously an achievement against a good Edinburgh side. However …


For much of the first half Edinburgh seemed easily able to create 2 on 1 opportunities on both wings, with the defensive wingers biting in on the inside runner and cover defence being AWOL. Conversely the Sharks showed little ability to get behind the Edinburgh defensive line, with the sole exception of a nicely-exploited Am mismatch against a second row (which led to the Fassi try).


In general the Sharks, with their full complement of Bok firepower, do not look that dangerous in attack, and while tackling was good on the whole and goal line defence was impressive at times, they were exhibiting surprising breakdowns in open play defensive structures.


Also, the Sharks continue to be inaccurate, with material impact on the scoreboard. Missing two very kickable penalties is not the way to be the best. It looked to me like the Sharks contestable kicks were not well enough executed, and were too hard to recover.


Not sure what the running attack was trying to do, but my guess is that they were trying to pull off a Harlequins-style bash-and-offload game off of 12 (Esterhuizen). That’s not a terrible idea with the personnel available, but it would require creativity and a precision on second phase that was not in evidence.


Lastly, you have to have better discipline. It’s great that the team can cope with a 13 vs 14 period (of almost 10 minutes), but smart teams a avoid cards.


Having said that it was great to see the win. I thought that Edinburgh were cynical and niggly. Always hanging around on the wrong side of the breakdown, lots of intentional obstruction, illegal dummying at the base of the ruck, etc. They played a dirty game and the ref tolerated it. Always good to see that not succeed.


Overall the “best Sharks lineup ever” scraped the win, but under-performed their Bok-laden potential. Again.

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
