La vie de princesse n’est pas de tout repos, bien au contraire ! À peine rentrée de ses vacances en famille sur les îles de Scilly, Kate Middleton a répondu à une nouvelle obligation. La duchesse de Cambridge a laissé couler quelques larmes en écoutant les histoires de familles modestes, affectées par le coronavirus et aidées par la fondation Baby Basics.

Mardi 4 août 2020, Kate Middleton s’est rendue, seule, à Sheffield. Elle a rencontré des membres de Baby Basics, une organisation dédiée aux familles modestes ayant des enfants en bas âge, qu’elle soutient en fournissant gratuitement des couches, des vêtements ou des linges de lit. Lors de sa visite, Kate Middleton s’est entretenue avec des bénéficiaires par appel vidéo, et s’est souvenue de conversations qu’elle avait eues avec d’autres familles lors d’une précédente visite à une banque pour bébés, au début de la crise sanitaire.

Ça peut être très émouvant. Je me souviens de deux familles de King’s Lynn [un ville du comté de Norfolk, où Kate Middleton et sa famille s’étaient confinées, NDLR] que j’avais rencontrées et j’ai fondu en larmes en rentrant chez moi, leurs histoires étaient tellement touchantes. Les combats qu’elles ont menés, la bravoure qu’elles ont montrée… dans des circonstances hors du commun“, a confié Kate Middleton.

Mardi à Sheffield, l’épouse du prince William et maman de 3 enfants (George, Charlotte et Louis, 7, 5 et 2 ans) n’a pas pleuré : elle a enfilé des gants et aidé à ranger des cartons d’articles pour enfants.

To help support the most vulnerable families in the UK, The Duchess of Cambridge has brought together 19 British brands and retailers to donate over 10,000 new items to more than 40 baby banks across the UK. The Duchess helped unpack donations at Baby Basics UK in Sheffield before talking to parents about how baby banks have provided them with invaluable support when they have needed it most. Take a look at our Storyto see more from behind the scenes and meet some of the families supported by the extraordinary work of baby banks. Following private visits to Baby Basics West Norfolk where The Duchess heard more about the baby bank’s need for donations, she spearheaded a drive for donations of items for babies from brands and high street retailers. In total, nineteen brands have donated items to @Baby_Basics, @littlevillageHQ and @abernecessities_scio, who operate baby banks across the UK. #SupportingBabyBanks

Enfin les vacances pour Ophélie Meunier ! Après un confinement très chargé entre son activité professionnelle et son rôle de maman auprès de Joseph (1 an), la journaliste a enchaîné les tournages pour Zone Interdite, l’émission qu’elle présente sur M6. C’est donc certainement avec une grande joie qu’elle peut lever le pied et se consacrer pleinement à ses proches, et plus particulièrement à son fils et son mari, Mathieu Vergne.

Le couple a d’ailleurs mis le cap sur le sud du pays, destination phare des Français cette année. Sa dernière escale fut à Marseille, où la journaliste de 32 ans a eu la chance de s’offrir une balade en bateau au milieu des magnifiques calanques de la région. Un doux moment qu’elle a partagé avec sa moitié comme en témoignent ses dernières photos sur Instagram. “Mon Capitaine“, écrit-elle sous une image de son homme au volant du bateau et d’elle qui l’embrasse amoureusement. Le cliché a ému bon nombre de ses abonnés, eux qui n’ont que très rarement l’occasion d’apprécier leur belle complicité sur la Toile. “Magnifique photo“, “Vous êtes beaux tous les deux“, “Quelle joie de vous voir heureux“, s’extasient certains quand d’autres notent tout de même avec regret l’absence du petit Joseph.

Mais, si le bambin manque à l’appel, Ophélie et Mathieu étaient tout de même très bien entourés. En effet, en se promenant sur le compte de l’ex-directeur des programmes de flux du groupe TF1, on constate que le chanteur Amir était de la partie également. Via leurs stories respectives, ils ont publié la même photo sur laquelle ils regardent l’horizon, tels des professionnels de la mer. “Mathieu et son excellent co-capitaine“, commente Amir sur le cliché.

EntreJulie Gayet et François Hollande il faut bien que ça coince quelque part. Plutôt qu’un problème de lunette des toilettes ou de miettes sur le canapé, l’actrice française concède quelques “débats passionnés” lorsqu’ils regardent le foot ensemble. “Mais ça, c’est le football, non ?“, déclare-t-elle à So Foot, dans un entretien paru le lundi 10 août 2020.

Je dois avouer que je suis plus démonstrative que lui. Je peux ‘exploser’, je me lève, je vibre… J’ai un petit côté Salma Hayek“, blague Julie Gayet, venue parler de l’importance du football féminin dans la société française. Un sujet qu’elle évoque dans le film documentaire Les Joueuses qu’elle produit et qui raconte le succès de l’Olympique lyonnais féminin.

Avec son film, Julie Gayet aura fait un adepte : son homme, François Hollande. “Au début, il n’était pas si sensible au football féminin, mais j’ai réussi à lui faire découvrir. Au point qu’il me dise : ‘Ah ouais, c’est fluide. Elles vont vachement vite, c’est bien !’“, raconte la comédienne de 48 ans. L’année dernière, Julie Gayet et François Hollande assistaient même ensemble à un match de l’équipe de France féminine de football, juste avant le mondial.

Malgré ces petites tensions, Julie Gayet et François Hollande aiment partager leur passion commune pour le football. “On regarde tout le temps des matches ensembles. J’ai quelques regrets : c’est de ne pas l’avoir pas accompagné sur certains matchs car je n’avais pas voulu être du côté ‘officiel’ durant son mandat“, déplore-t-elle.

CONNACHT COACH ANDY Friend has refused to get involved in a war of words with Richard Cockerill after the Edinburgh boss accused the province of cheating in last Friday’s Guinness Pro14 clash at Murrayfield.

Cockerill, who made similar cheating claims on several occasions when he was in charge of Leicester Tigers, was heavily critical of Welsh referee Ian Davies following the game which Edinburgh won 17-10.

“Fifteen penalties to four, just one yellow card, if you’re going to let teams cheat like that, then that’s what you get,” said Cockerill.

“It threatens the credibility of the competition 100 per cent.”

Connacht may be privately seething at the accusation made by the Edinburgh coach but Friend is not adding fuel to the fire.

“He’s entitled to that view,” said the Australian yesterday. “What we have looked at is our own discipline and making sure that we are not giving the referee easy decisions.

“We need to be smarter in what we do. There are simple offsides, there are simple hands in the ruck, the simple kicking the ball out of rucks, the obvious stuff that you just can’t do and I think we’re probably guilty of being a little bit naive with some of that and we need to be better at.

Friend looks set to be boosted in his selection options this week with loosehead prop Denis Buckley, centre Tom Farrell and hooker Tom McCartney all available for selection while new signing Robin Copeland could be poised to make his competitive debut when they host Scarlets on Saturday [KO 5.15pm, TG4] at the Sportsground.

Copeland, who made his debut in the pre-season game away to Bristol, has shaken off a quad injury and featured for the Connacht Eagles at the weekend.

His fellow Gorey and Wexford native Paul Boyle has grabbed the limelight in his absence but the experienced Copeland could now be in a position to make his competitive bow in the back row.

“It was good to see Robin play that Eagles game,” Friend added.

“He has been really impressive in the pre-season, on the field and off the field, his energy, his maturity he’s brought to the group, he puts smiles on people’s faces, I think we have all been frustrated for him that he has had these niggles which have stopped him training and playing.

“It was great to see him get 40 minutes the other day. He will certainly be putting his hand up for selection this week.”

Ryan Bailey reports from Thomond Park

IF ONLY MUNSTER could play at home every week.

While Saturday’s nine-try evisceration of an understrength and injury-ravaged Ulster was the shot in the arm Johann van Graan’s side needed after their Cardiff no-show, the bottom line is that the sterner challenges which lie ahead will provide a more accurate barometer of where they sit.

Munster rebounded emphatically from their defeat on the road last time out by swatting a sorry Ulster outfit aside with minimal fuss and complete disdain in Limerick, as the southern province made it three home bonus-point wins this season.

But this facile 64-7 win — their record Pro14 victory — comes with a number of caveats, not least because it was a low-key inter-pro derby, but because Munster’s home form has never been the problem.

Finding consistency of performance, particularly on the road has been their downfall in recent times, no more so than in last season’s Pro14 semi-final defeat to Leinster at the RDS.

Van Graan’s side return to the capital for Saturday’s eagerly anticipated shoot-out with their provincial rivals at the Aviva Stadium, ahead of the start of the Heineken Champions Cup opener, with Munster on the road for a daunting trip to Exeter Chiefs.

They are the real tests, and the next block of fixtures will ultimately decide the direction of Munster’s campaign, with the challenge now to replicate their strong home form on the road.

“I’ll tell you after the next two weeks,” van Graan laughed, when asked to assess where his Munster side are in the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s inter-pro massacre. 

“It’s difficult to say. My belief is that you start every week from zero. I said right at the beginning, the season is so long, if you look from May to now, you can’t see it.

Consistency is now the key word for Munster after an up-and-down start to the season which has included three comfortable home wins, and two away horror shows, to see them lie in third in Conference A. 

“I don’t think last week [defeat to Cardiff] knocked our confidence. We are a very confident group,” van Graan continued.

“We have got big dreams and I said from the beginning, a man has got to dream big because big dreams make a man’s blood stir. It wasn’t really as confidence knock, it was more ‘Listen, that wasn’t good enough.’

“We’ll enjoy tonight, reassess on Monday morning where we are and then go to a pretty tough challenge next Saturday.

“I watched them [Leinster] quite a bit over the last 48 hours. Impressive side, almost their full Test side so that will be a massive challenge for us.

“All that we can control is our form and we as a squad said it is no good to go one up and one down, we want to be consistent. Consistency is one of the words that we targeted throughout pre-season, so we will look for a consistent 80-minute performance next Saturday.

“Like I said, the challenge is to do it against the best club team currently in Europe and possibly in the world, so that will be a big challenge to us and one that we are looking forward to.

The South African agreed Saturday’s tea-time clash against Leo Cullen’s side will serve as a far more relevant gauge heading into Europe: “Most definitely. When you go away in the Aviva against the best team in Europe, it is a reality check.”

On the injury front, Munster came through Saturday relatively unscathed with Mike Haley pulling up with a tight hamstring in the captain’s run and dropping out of the squad, with Alex Wootton promoted and more than taking his chance with a try-scoring display. 

As for Munster’s new half-back pairing of Alby Mathewson and man-of-the-match Joey Carbery, van Graan smiled when asked if they would renew their partnership against Leinster in round six.

“I’ll tell you next Friday at 12!”

Attention to detail paying off for Jack Carty

December 4, 2022 | News | No Comments

JACK CARTY IS in the form of his life for Connacht at the moment and his quality displays this season are all down to paying attention to the smallest of detail.

His line-kicking and other efforts from the hand have been precise for Connacht in their opening six games, while his goal-kicking sees him top of the charts with Ospreys’ Sam Davies on 54 points.

But it’s the kicks that don’t land which command his attention and he goes back over the details to figure out what might have gone wrong.

A run of 11 successful kicks ended when he failed to convert Bundee Aki’s late try in the win over Ulster, and he spent more time pouring over that kick than savouring his side’s first win in Belfast in 58 years.

“You could obviously say you are striking the ball well but fundamentally it comes down to the outcome, the stats. I was very disappointed to miss the last kick at the weekend.

“My two previous kicks, when I was standing over the ball, were 26 seconds and 26 seconds (before kicking it) and the last kick was 19 seconds.

“I felt when I was lining up the kick that I rushed it and then when we went back and looked at it, it was much quicker.

“The length of time standing over the ball should be quite similar

“I had been on a good streak, I think I had hit the last eleven in a row so it was disappointing to miss it but it is just a good learning,” said the 26-year old who made his debut for his native province in 2014.

The manner of the win in Belfast was pleasing and they will go into their Challenge Cup campaign at home to Bordeaux-Begles on Saturday with a pep in their step.

“We went up to Ulster a few times and played really good rugby and didn’t even get a bonus point so to win in the manner we did with a gritty performance, that was probably better than going out and throwing the ball about and winning.

“This weekend will be different, the French teams historically are much more physically and you never know what sort of French team will travel.

“Over the years we have had teams battling relegation but with Bordeaux it is quite different, they are quite high up in the Top 14, so I think it will be a different challenge for us and we can’t take them lightly at all, especially in a first match. They have something like 20 internationals in their squad,” added Carty.

Scarlets A 8

Leinster A 15

A BRACE OF tries from Ronan Kelleher helped Leinster on their way to securing the inaugural Celtic Cup in what was a tough final against Scarlets.

Leinster have finished their campaign with a clean sweep of victories, but Scarlets pushed them all the way and a late try from Javan Sebastian made for a tense finish in Parc y Scarlets.

The visitors got off the mark after just three minutes through a Ciaran Frawley penalty and Kelleher was in for the first of his two tries shortly after, collecting the ball from Caelan Doris before driving over the try-line on 12 minutes.

Kelleher had his second try five minutes later after profiting from a driving maul to touch the ball down once again.

Leinster were 15-3 in front at the half-time break but a yellow card for Bryan Byrne was quickly followed by Sebastian’s try in the 73rd minute to put some pressure on the visiting side in the closing stages.

Scarlets missed the conversion however, and Leinster were able to hold off their opponents for the remaining minutes and clinch the title.
