Debrief : Malgré le contexte, les Bleus s'en sortent en Uruguay

Dans un contexte tendu par les affaires extrasportives qui polluent la tournée des Bleus en Amérique du Sud, l’équipe de France dite de « développement » a battu l’Uruguay, ce mercredi soir à Montevideo.

Avec une équipe complètement remaniée par rapport à celle alignée à Mendoza contre l’Argentine samedi, ces Bleus expérimentaux n’ont pas eu la partie facile.

Toutes les stats et les données

Même s’ils ont été menés au score tout au long de la rencontre, los Teros ont été à hauteur de l’affiche, l’Uruguay n’ayant pas souvent l’occasion d’accueillir une top nation.

Les Bleus, dominants devant, ont rapidement creusé l’écart en première période (17-0, 20e). Mais los Teros, à l’image de ce qu’ils avaient montré durant la dernière Coupe du Monde, se sont accrochés et sont revenus à 23-14 en début de deuxième période.

L’entrée de Posolo Tuilagi redonnait de l’air aux Bleus. Le colosse de l’USAP faisait deux tout-droit sur 40 m pour un doublé qui n’a pas fini de tourner sur les réseaux sociaux (60, 63).

Fidèle à elle-même, l’Uruguay ne lâchait rien et profitait d’une relance kamikaze des Bleus pour inscrire un essai casquette qui ne manquera pas de faire râler Fabien Galthié 43-21, 64e).

Puis en fin de match, les locaux égalisaient même au nombre d’essais (4 partout) sur une mêlée enfoncée à 5 m de la ligne bleue, récompensée d’un essai de pénalité (43-28, 78e).

Les Bleus voulaient gagner

On aurait pu croire que l’équipe de France allait privilégier le jeu pour ce match semi amical sur le terrain de la 17e nation au classement World Rugby. Mais en désignant les poteaux dès la 7e minute, les Bleus ont montré qu’ils étaient là avant tout pour gagner. Au total, Léo Berdeu a passé cinq pénalités : 15 points qu’on retrouve à l’arrivée.

Couilloud sur la lancée

Le demi de mêlée du LOU a montré qu’il n’avait rien perdu de ses qualités de finisseur en traversant l’Atlantique. Le meilleur marqueur d’essais du Top 14 (17) a inscrit un doublé en première période dans le plus pur style de puncheur.

Tuilagi en mode bulldozer

Si le public uruguayen ne connaissait pas encore Posolo Tuilagi, il a payé pour voir. Entré à la 59e, le 2e ligne avait planté deux essais quatre minutes plus tard. Deux essais venus conclure des courses de 30 m où le colosse d’origine samoane joue au Culbuto avec ses adversaires dans un fascinant mélange de puissance pure et de technique, le 2e ligne frisant les 150 kg se permettant en pleine course de changer le ballon de main pour raffûter d’un côté, puis de l’autre, des adversaires tombés comme des mouches.

Beria s’est montré

Giorgi Beria n’a pas raté sa première apparition en bleu, ou plutôt en blanc pour le coup. Le pilier gauche d’origine géorgienne (24 ans) a tenu la barraque en mêlée et a montré de belles dispositions balle en main, à l’image de cette passe après contact pour l’autre pilier, Thomas Laclayat, qui a initié l’action du premier essai de Couilloud. La blessure précoce de Laclayat l’a contraint à disputer 80 min. C’était sans doute trop, la mêlée bleue prenant de plus en plus l’eau en fin de match. Mais ça n’occulte pas sa performance globale.

L’Uruguay en mode Coupe du Monde

Baptiste Couilloud, le seul Bleu aligné à Montevideo déjà titulaire en Coupe du Monde face à l’Uruguay, n’a pas dû être dépaysé. En effet, onze des titulaires ce mercredi l’étaient aussi à Lille, le 14 septembre dernier. En étirant la comparaison au banc des remplaçants, 20 des 23 Teros étaient en France l’automne dernier. Et déjà, ils avaient fait plus qu’embêter les Bleus vainqueurs sans relief (27-12).

The story of Romania's Mariana Lucescu: The Stejarii ‘Madame Rugby’

You’re welcome and sorry for the late reply.

could targeted investment by IRB/World Rugby and other have helped over the decades?

I think so. More money is always good and compared to other T2 Federations, although things aren’t perfect, the Romanian Rugby Federation did a good job managing it’s budget.

I think I saw T2Rugby tweeting that out of T2 nations funding around half goes to the 3 Pacific Islands which might be a bit of a waste considering how much coruption there is inside those Federations.


I had read there was a big exodus to France after professionalism which was a major blow, could investment at this critical juncture have kept more of those players, coaches, officials in place and reduced the damage?

It was a major blow for the local championship and the level of the local competition.

This was fixed in 2011 when the Superliga was created - a professional league with 8 teams. I think it had 10 in it’s peak. Having a pro league for a T2 nation is really good but now the issue is there are only 6 teams which means you don’t have a lot of matches during a season. It would’ve been great if there would be again 8 or 10 teams but I don’t see that happening any time soon.


However, for the national side, this exodus was really good. Even now we get benefits from it, although we don’t have as many players abroad, because kids of those players are playing at a higher intensity level in France - ex. Gontineac, Mitu.

Debutant’s powerful start as Australia’s ‘youngins’ usher in new dawn

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum.

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

I’d have loved to see Bledisloe Cup rugby on Anzac Day.

Yes, but by now you must realize you don’t hold common opinions, let alone can think for New Zealand rugby’s best interests.

The preparation of the All Blacks is timed to the minute and introducing a test match in the middle of the Super Rugby Pacific season has the potential to throw that carefully managed system into chaos.

I don’t think that should come into it, it’s a business decision when it comes down to it. First though, it hasn’t passed the “is it OK to do?” has it.

I get that surrendering the cup isn’t something the current crop of NZR staff and governors eye with any relish, but I’ll continue to argue that it would ultimately be good for our rugby.

That view would be an oxymoron in their (most peoples) eyes.

I’ll be interested to know what fans think of seeing the proposed Anzac Day clash scuppered. Like, genuinely interested.

I hadn’t been expecting anything, but that’s likely because if it was in the spotlight to expect something, I would have expected the status quo to come out on top like every other time.

But RA’s Bledisloe proposal gives us an opportunity to wonder about how sacred the timing of this competition is and whether we couldn’t reimagine how the season is configured.

Isn’t that being determined now in conjunctin with World Rugby/every other union?

Perhaps RA’s desire to start Anazc Bledisloes from 2026 was a bit premature. Maybe 2028 or 2030 would give everyone enough time to decide how the game can be accommodated.

It could be their is reason to change in that time frame, but why on Nations League years? More pointedly, shouldn’t it be every year?

the idea that the Bledisloe Cup could become Anazc Day’s marquee sports event

I could probably easily get out of the idea these sorts of days aren’t for sport/fun to take center stage. It’s a mentality I don’t think holds everywhere already. But I’m happy to follow what those that really do care about the day (never been a dawn service person) think.
