De retour dans le XV de départ, Léo Barré s’est montré à son aise lors de la large victoire française contre l’Italie (73-24), dimanche à Rome dans le cadre de la troisième journée du Tournoi des Six Nations.

Avec deux essais et un apport offensif déterminant, l’arrière du Stade Français a largement contribué au succès tricolore.

Léo Barré (22 ans, 7 sélections) avait manqué les deux premières rencontres du Tournoi à cause d’une commotion cérébrale subie contre Vannes fin janvier, qui l’avait écarté des terrains.

Pendant son absence, l’incontournable Thomas Ramos avait occupé le poste d’arrière, puis le retour de Barré contre l’Italie a entraîné le repositionnement du Toulousain à l’ouverture au détriment du Bordelo-Béglais Matthieu Jalibert.

Le choix avait surpris, mais la performance du Parisien semble avoir donné raison à Fabien Galthié sur ce point-là.

Allant offensif, qualités aériennes, précision au pied

Et l’arrière pourrait bien avoir rebattu les cartes avant le retour de suspension de Romain Ntamack, prévu lors de la prochaine journée en Irlande, dans deux semaines.

Le joueur formé au Stade Français a été le premier à percer la défense italienne, allant aplatir entre les poteaux après dix minutes de jeu, mais son essai a été refusé pour un en-avant de Ramos au début de l’action.

Bien entré dans son match, Barré s’est ensuite illustré en montrant ses qualités sous les ballons hauts. Dans ce secteur qui a régulièrement fait défaut au XV de France lors de ses dernières sorties, l’arrière de 1,89 m a fait parler sa détente et son sens du timing pour rassurer.

Il a également fait étalage de sa précision dans le jeu au pied, en enfermant les Italiens sur des coups de pied rasants en coin difficiles à négocier, et sur lesquels il a su coffrer ses vis-à-vis pour les mettre sous pression tout près de leur en-but.

Balle en main, il a aussi fait parler sa justesse, en décalant Louis Bielle-Biarrey après contact (24e). Quelques secondes plus tard, l’ailier servait Antoine Dupont et permettait aux Bleus de creuser l’écart (21-10).

Avant la pause, Barré s’est chargé lui-même d’alourdir un peu plus la note pour la Nazionale, en cassant deux plaquages à la suite d’une passe de son capitaine Dupont (35-17, 39e).

Barré « content de retrouver du plaisir »

Une semaine après avoir retrouvé les terrains en disputant l’intégralité de la rencontre contre Pau avec son club, en grande difficulté en Top 14, l’arrière n’a pas paru manquer de rythme.

Comme ses partenaires de club, derniers du championnat, il a vécu un début de saison morose, loin des standards qui lui avaient valu d’être titularisé contre l’Angleterre et le pays de Galles lors du dernier Tournoi et d’être appelé pour la tournée estivale en Argentine.

« La situation du club fait un peu chier, moi personnellement je n’ai pas fait un bon début de saison », a dit Barré au micro de France 2 à la sortie du terrain à l’issue du match.

Un match qu’il a disputé jusqu’au bout : à la 68e minute, au moment de faire entrer en jeu Maxime Lucu, le seul membre des lignes arrière présent sur le banc des remplaçants, le staff tricolore a préféré en effet faire sortir Thomas Ramos.

Resté sur la pelouse, il en a profité pour ajouter un essai à son compteur et participer au succès record des siens.

« Je suis content de retrouver ce maillot, de retrouver du plaisir », a-t-il ajouté.

Un plaisir qu’il voudra faire durer à Dublin.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

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)
