    FEDERALE 3 le RC Metz a maté Lons-le-Saunier Sans aucun doute le match le plus accompli des Messins, victoire collective à la clé Metz a contenu les Jurassiens dans leur moitié de terrain. Photo Anthony PICORÉ RC METZ 35 LONS 7 Mi-temps : 20-7. Stade de la Grange aux Bois. Terrain synthétique. 300 spectateurs. Arbitre : M. Lemonnier. METZ : 4 essais Kimmel (7e ), Micoud (22e ), Bonjean (67e ), Guerimand (73e ). 3 transformations Perrin (7e, 22e ) et Parra (73e ). 3 pénalités Perrin (14e , 38e , 55e ). Wagner, Kimmel, Bivert, Toulet, Festor, Costa, Combes, Raynal, Parra, Bonjean, Celic, Perrin, Agnes, Constant, Micoud. Sont entrés en jeu : Perriot, Kremer, Manceaux, Philippe, Guerimand, Nicoletta, Fabre. Carton blanc : Perrin (40e ). Carton jaune : Kremer (80e ). LONS : 1 essai Neiceru (10e ). 1 transformation Neiceru (10e ). Royer, Perez, Bouillon, Vakaruru, Guidot, Rollin, Aboueme, Beqa, Joly, Bolomier, Raoma, Neiceru, Meynier, Gauthier, Cugnot. Sont entrés en jeu : Fourcade, Gabriel Robez, Benoit, Dubuy, Taponard, Balconnet, Contardo. Carton jaune : Guidot (59e ) et Beqa (84e ). Les Messins, intransigeants en défense et omniprésents en attaque, ont maté le quinze jurassien. Et pourtant c’est Lons-le-Saunier qui a lancé les hostilités : Raoma a récupéré un long ballon donné au pied à un mètre de la ligne, mais au moment d'aplatir, a commis une faute de main. Secoués, les Messins. Mais sur une touche de Bivert, le ballon a voyagé entre les lignes pour parvenir à Kimmel, qui leur a offert les premiers points. Perrin a transformé pour le RC en tête (7-0). Neiceru manque deux pénalités faciles Meynier, pour Lons,a répondu en s’échappant pour servir Neiceru.

  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.

A heart-wrenching and ultimately life-affirming story that demonstrates the power of love to see us through the darkest of times. When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was liberated in 1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote on which he’d written ‘Good luck and happiness’. And when her great-grandson, Dov, decided to use social media to track down the family of the GI in 2020, 96-year-old Lily found herself making headlines around the world. Lily had promised herself that if she survived Auschwitz she would tell everyone the truth about the camp.
