L’équipe de France des moins de 20 ans retrouve l’Italie samedi 22 février à 20h45. Cette équipe d’Italie avait battu les Bleuets l’an dernier, à Béziers (20-23), décrochant au passage son premier succès dans cette catégorie contre la France.

« L’an dernier, ils ont été très rudes sur les contacts », a expliqué Sialevailea Tolofua en conférence de presse. « On avait été beaucoup mis sous pression. La défaite de l’année dernière et la victoire serrée d’il y a deux ans nous ont montré que cette équipe attaque fort d’entrée. »

« Elle est très forte sur les bases, en défense, sur les avants », ajoute le Bayonnais Baptiste Tilloles. « Ce sera compliqué, on le sait, comme l’an dernier. »

Une fois les bases posées, dans quel état d’esprit l’équipe se trouve-t-elle avant le déplacement en Italie ?

« On a tout fait pour remédier à la défaite de l’année dernière », reprend Sialevailea Tolofua. « On a envie de faire une performance contre les Italiens », annonce Tilloles.

Être solide contre l’Italie

La détermination ne faisant pas tout, les Bleuets ont ciblé le secteur dans lequel ils ont pêché en 2024 pour ne pas repartir bredouilles d’Italie : le combat.

« Aujourd’hui, on a les outils pour les contrer on doit monter en intensité pour les contrer dans l’avancée, physiquement », confie Tolofua. « On a fait le focus sur nos lancements de jeu pour être sûrs de nos forces », ajoute Tilloles.

L’Italie, de son côté, a débuté ce Tournoi des Six Nations U20 de façon assez étrange, d’abord en s’imposant nettement en Écosse (22-10) avant de perdre de 2 points à la maison (18-20) contre le pays de Galles que la France avait corrigé (63-19) en ouverture.

« Il ne faut pas les prendre de haut », annonce Tolofua. « On a tout fait pour remédier à la défaite de l’année dernière. C’est à nous de montrer ce que l’on a dans le ventre et ne pas se fier à ce qu’ils ont fait contre le pays de Galles. Ils seront remontés à l’idée de jouer contre nous, surtout chez eux. Ils vont nous attendre. »

Au-delà de la revanche à prendre sur la confrontation de 2024, les Français auront aussi à cœur de se reprendre après la défaite essuyée contre l’Angleterre, à Bath.

« On s’est retrouvé lundi, on a analysé le match de l’Angleterre collectivement et le groupe est très revanchard », explique Baptiste Tilloles. « On doit se servir de la défaite contre l’Angleterre pour la suite, pour continuer de progresser. Je sais que l’on s’est bien préparé et qu’on a fait le maximum pour faire un résultat, même s’il faut se méfier de toutes les équipes. »

Le Mondial après le Tournoi

Si les espoirs de Grand Chelem ont, comme chez les A, été balayés par l’Angleterre, le reste du Tournoi revêt quand même une certaine importance.

« Il reste trois matchs et c’est à nous de nous rebalancer », explique Tolofua. Comprendre : on doit terminer sur trois succès.

En effet, les Bleuets doivent utiliser les dernières rencontre de ce Tournoi pour se préparer en vue de leur prochaine grande échéance : le Championnat du Monde de Rugby des Moins de 20 ans 2025.

Après avoir été déchu de leur couronne par l’Angleterre en 2024, les Bleuets, qui restaient sur trois titres de rang, auront à cœur de récupérer leur dû. « On est dans une optique de progresser et continuer de grandir en vue de la Coupe du Monde », relate Baptiste Tilloles.

Pour ce faire, les Français devront corriger un aspect de leur jeu qui leur a coûté cher contre l’Angleterre : l’indiscipline.

Dans le but de s’améliorer dans ce domaine, les Bleuets ont la chance de compter sur un arbitre qui vient les aider à chaque rassemblement.

« On doit améliorer notre précision et notre rigueur dans les contacts », conclut le Toulousain.

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.
