Le moral d’Eric n’est pas au beau fixe en ce moment. Le 3 août 2020, l’aventurier révélé dans Koh-Lanta 2020 (édition baptisée L’île des héros) a annoncé qu’il avait vécu un coup dur et comptait sur le soutien de ses abonnés pour l’aider à surmonter cette épreuve.

Ce patron d’une entreprise automobile, âgé de 56 ans au moment du tournage de l’émission de TF1, est un passionné de rallye automobile. Durant plusieurs années, il a fait des courses de vitesse. Mais il y a un peu plus de trois ans, Eric a été contraint d’arrêter pour des raisons financières. Il se faisait donc une joie de pratiquer de nouveau sa passion cette année, au Rallye du Trièves 2020. Malheureusement, tout ne s’est pas passé comme prévu. En plein parcours, la voiture dans laquelle il se trouvait a pris feu, comme il l’a confié sur Instagram il y a quatre jours : “Le week-end devait être formidable. Voiture au top. Copilote et pilote au top. Assistance au top. De belles spéciales. Malheureusement ça ne s’est pas passé comme prévu… La voiture a pris feu à l’arrivée de la spéciale pour une raison encore inconnue. Nous aurions pu éteindre le feu. Malheureusement les extincteurs du contrôle d’arrivée n’ont pas fonctionné. Ceci est inadmissible ! Je voulais remercier toutes les personnes qui nous sont venues en aide, en particulier garage JCS auto sports et tous les équipages qui nous ont donné leurs extincteurs. Le moral est dans les chaussettes…“, a-t-il écrit en légende d’un montage photo sur lequel on peut voir sa voiture intacte, en feu, puis en cendres. Fort heureusement, personne n’a été blessé.

Soutenu par ses abonnés après son terrible récit, Eric a tenu à les remercier le 6 août 2020. Et il en a appelé à leur générosité : “Ce fut une épreuve difficile mais que nous allons surmonter… Poursuivez vos rêves, ne lâchez jamais.

Les courses cyclistes ont repris, Julian Alaphilippe et Marion Rousse (tous deux âgés de 28 ans) se sont ainsi remis au travail. Lui y participe et elle les commente.

Samedi 8 août 2020, le coureur de la Deceuninck-Quick Step, devenu le nouveau chouchou des Français après son incroyable Tour de France 2019, a participé à la 111e édition de la mythique course Milan-San Remo. Elle était initialement prévue en mars dernier mais la pandémie de coronavirus a contraint à la décaler cet été.

Julian Alaphilippe a malheureusement buté sur le Belge Wout Van Aert qui a remporté la première grande classique de la saison cycliste, et l’a privé d’une deuxième victoire.”Il mérite vraiment sa victoire“, a salué le Français, devancé d’une roue à l’arrivée de la plus longue course de la saison, 305 kilomètres sous un soleil estival.

En huit jours, “une semaine incroyable” de l’aveu souriant du Belge, Van Aert a imité Alaphilippe qui avait lui aussi gagné les Strade Bianche puis Milan-Sanremo l’an passé. Triple champion du monde de cyclo-cross avant de se consacrer surtout à la route, le Belge a remporté à l’âge de 25 ans son premier “monument“.

Je suis quand même content mais c’est un peu frustrant d’être passé près de la victoire“, a déclaré Alaphilippe à l’AFP, qui a enflammé la course tout comme en 2019. C’est lui qui est passé à l’attaque au seuil des 6 derniers kilomètres, dans le Poggio, la dernière difficulté du parcours.

Après cette belle et longue course, Julian Alaphilippe a laissé l’effort derrière lui pour passer au réconfort, bien mérité. Le coureur cycliste a retrouvé sa compagne, Marion Rousse, avec qui il s’est offert une petite douceur rafraîchissante de rigueur en Italie : une glace. Marion Rousse a immortalisé ce moment en amoureux et l’a partagé sur Instagram.

JUST AS SEASONS change and time moves on so, too, do ambitions.

No sporting career is infinite but after 17 years and 327 games – a record unlikely to be challenged let alone surpassed – John Muldoon’s cult status will forever live on in Connacht.

Vision of his final walk out at Sportsground encapsulate the true beauty of sport.

Given his feats and the esteem he is held, Muldoon left many in the proud province somewhat shell-shocked when he upped sticks and accepted Pat Lam’s invitation to assume the defence brief at Bristol this season.

In any other circumstances, leaving the comfort of Connacht, where he arrived in 2000, would have been a difficult decision.

But his desire to stay involved in rugby, and the chance to do so at a Premiership club, made the move a no-brainer.

“I think everyone assumed I would want to stay in Galway and there would be a job there for me but it’s not as simple as that,” Muldoon reflects.

“It wouldn’t have bothered me getting involved in Connacht and coaching people I’ve played with over the years but it is probably easier to move away for a while and start off with people you don’t know.

“I’m sure a lot of people were surprised to begin with but others were very appreciative of me wanting a new experience.”

Four months into his new role at Bristol and Muldoon is soaking up every experience.

Already, it has proved a testing journey.

The 35-year-old retired on April 13; welcomed his first baby, Scott, the following Thursday; and then moved to Bristol little over a month later.

Muldoon’s wife and son settled in Bristol in August but, in between times, he travelled back to Galway regularly during summer.

“It was a fairly hectic few weeks retiring, becoming a dad for the first time and then moving away.

“Being a professional rugby player for so long, I was ready to retire and I knew my time was up. Everyone has regrets. If I knew then what I know now, I definitely would have changed some things, but that’s life. To walk away from rugby and know the time was right was an easy decision. It’s been a big motivation of mine to get involved in coaching.”

Muldoon featured three times for Ireland – earning two Test caps. But it is captaining Connacht to the Pro12 championship in 2016 he will long be celebrated for.

Now, with the clipboard, he is attempting to transfer those experiences, the highs and the lows, along with striking a balance between coach and confidant at Bristol.

“You remember when things weren’t going well how coaches treated you. You remember when things were going well how they kept your feet on the floor.

“There is a line you have to draw between player and coach but you also have to be human as well. That’s what a lot of really good coaches get right and where some people probably struggle – feeling they always have to stay this side of the line. I don’t think you need to do that. People have changed.

“Certainly me as a 21-year-old is very different to what a 19-year-old is like today. While it may be hard to get my head around how they do and feel, the reality is you have to put your feet in their shoes and see what motivates them, and what gets them up in the morning.

“I’m far from the finished article and I have a lot to learn in the coaching-management style but it’s a work in progress.”

Walking into the defence role was not totally unfamiliar. Whenever injured or having a down training day at Connacht, Lam would get Muldoon to run drills.

In many ways, that tutelage continues at Bristol.

“In terms of looking after the defence, it’s just building on what Pat has done. He’s helped me out massively. There’s still a few things I’m learning – the subtleties around some of the backs’ defence. It’s always challenging every week when you see some of the players we come up against. The teams are bigger and better each week. I’m sure it will be a long year.”

In the age of intense video analysis – with systems, structures and strategies commonplace – defence has evolved dramatically.

Where once up-and-out or man-on were the only defensive ploys in town, multiple variations are now in vogue, with specific players often targeted or, indeed, protected.

Also with concussion in the spotlight, Muldoon says during pre-season Bristol worked heavily on entry to the tackle, ensuring defenders close the gap to the attacker and get their head in the right position.

“Wales, Wasps and a couple of others started coming hard once the rugby league influences came along. Ireland brought in the choke tackle. But the reality is rugby is still based on the fundamentals that you’ve got to try and stop a team going forward.

“If you do that you win games. If you slow down ball and be effective in your plus one, you win games. Disrupting lineouts, winning 50/50s, it’s all clichés but ultimately that’s what defence is about.

“There’s been different ways over the years to do that and it is evolving all the time. All teams are trying to be at the forefront of what the new fad is. We’re no different, and we try new things, but it comes back to being able to defend well.”

Muldoon only has to walk down the street in Bristol to appreciate how rapidly life has changed.

No more with every few steps does he encounter another familiar face keen to chat.

For now, though, he appears to be reveling in those new surroundings.

“From day one, Pat set standards high. We’ve probably come out and surprised a few by saying we want to get in the top six – I’m sure there’s a few people who probably laughed into their cups of tea. But you’ve got to be ambitious and work hard. We’re determined and driven to get there.”

Those characteristics Muldoon carried through his storied playing career and now into his budding start as a professional coach.

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS is included in a much-changed New Zealand side to face Argentina in the Rugby Championship on Saturday.

New Zealand centre Sonny Bill Williams.

The centre is one of six new faces in the XV as All Blacks coach Steve Hansen freshens up a side that surprisingly lost at home to South Africa in Wellington last time out.

Williams – set to make his first appearance in this year’s tournament after overcoming a bout of tonsillitis – partners Ryan Crotty in midfield, while TJ Perenara starts his 50th Test at scrum-half as Aaron Smith drops to the bench.

Ben Smith moves to fullback to replace Jordie Barrett, who is left out of the matchday squad, so Waisake Naholo comes in on the wing.

In the pack, Ofa Tuungafasi takes over from the rested Owen Franks at tighthead prop and Shannon Frizell replaces the injured Liam Squire in a back row that sees Luke Whitelock start at number eight in the absence of captain Kieran Read.

Damian McKenzie has returned home due to a family bereavement but, along with skipper Read, who did not travel to Argentina, he will fly out to join the squad in South Africa ahead of the Test at Loftus Versfeld on October 6.

New Zealand remain on course to defend their Rugby Championship title, with a bonus-point win in Buenos Aires this weekend enough to clinch top spot with a game to spare, but Hansen expects to see a backlash after the world champions slipped up against the Springboks.

“All Blacks are well known for coming back reasonably strongly after a defeat,” Hansen said.

“They don’t experience a lot of them, or particularly this group haven’t anyway, and we had a really good session on Monday off the park and a lot of the lessons were talked about.

“The week so far on the training park seems to be showing us that they’ve gone up to another gear and (we’re) really looking forward to Saturday because it’s going to be a massive challenge.”

Alicia Fox Weighs In on Wrestling Drunk Claim

December 5, 2022 | News | No Comments

Alicia Fox doesn’t sound like she’s sweating the reports today that she showed up at a WWE live event drunk and competed in the ring. Fan reaction has been across the board since the report that Arn Anderson was fired for letting Fox work while intoxicated hit, including several people showing support for Fox and others calling for WWE to fire her.
Fox, of course, has her own thoughts on the situation, and she posted a look at her opinion on the reports as you can see below. Fox quotes the definition of resilience with a “No Fox Given” hashtag. She also hashtagged with “digital detox,” which is the practice of stepping away from the use of online devices.
WWE is said to have offered to send Fox to rehab, but she instead went absent.

While WrestleMania will air on the WWE Network as part of your $9.99 monthly subscription or free if you’re a first-time subscriber, there are still thousands of people who opt to get it through the “old fashioned” pay-per-view way.
Maybe it’s because there’s not high-speed internet at their location or simply because they don’t want to subscribe to the WWE Network. Thankfully for them, several providers still offer WrestleMania on the traditional pay-per-view format.
In the United States, cable and satellite providers which will be offering WrestleMania on PPV tomorrow include Cable One, Cox Communications, DISH, inDemand, Knology, Mediacom, Cablevision, RCN, Spectrum, Suddenlink, Verizon FiOS TV, and Comcast Xfinity.
DirecTV, which has officially told us that they will not carry the show, has the WrestleMania entry on their PPV ordering screen so it looks like they will be offering it after all.
In the UK, Italy, and Germany, Sky will carry the show. Canada will have it on Bell TV, SaskTel, Shaw, and Viewers Choice. Foxtel and Optus will show WrestleMania on PPV in Australia while Ten Sports will show it in India.
Otherwise, simply head to http://w-o.it/wwentwrk to activate your 30-day free trial and get WrestleMania for free!Click Here: cheap nike air zoom shoes

Les vacances sont douces pour Alexandra Lamy. Après une nouvelle année de tournages intenses, et en dépit de la pandémie de coronavirus qui l’a contrainte comme le reste du monde à se confiner, mais avec sa soeur Audrey tout de même, la comédienne de 48 ans est partie se ressourcer à Aubrac dans le centre-sud du Massif central.

Ainsi, depuis plusieurs jours, Alexandra Lamy profite du temps clément pour s’adonner à une activité qu’elle apprécie tout particulièrement : la randonnée. Sur Instagram, elle multiplie les publications de vidéos pour faire découvrir cette région chère à son coeur. Et petit plus : la maman de Chloé Jouannet y retrouve ses amies les vaches face à qui elle ne peut s’empêcher de s’arrêter un petit moment. Plus sérieusement, Alexandra passe en réalité cette parenthèse enchantée avec l’une de ses copines, Magaly, qui se charge de jouer les photographes en herbe pour immortaliser l’actrice en pleine nature. “C’est absolument magnifique“, répète-t-elle à mainte reprise face au vaste paysage qui s’offre à elle.

Une bouffée d’air frais pour la comédienne

La journée du mardi 28 juillet de la belle blonde a toutefois été très légèrement gâchée par une “catastrophe” : la perte de sa casquette fétiche. À la fin de son dernier post, Alexandra Lamy lance même un appel à qui mettra la main dessus. “Une casquette noire avec marqué ‘Mum’ dessus, donc si jamais quelqu’un la trouve dans le coin de Fineyrols, c’est à moi ! En attendant, on m’a prêté une autre casquette“, explique-t-elle. Pas sûr néanmoins qu’il y ait foule pour lui rapporter étant donné que le village d’Aubrac n’accueille que 100 000 visiteurs environ… par an !

Ce choix de se retirer dans un environnement isolé n’est d’ailleurs peut-être pas anodin pour Alexandra Lamy, qui a vécu des derniers mois difficiles, notamment en mettant son énergie à consoler sa soeur qui a perdu son bébé en cours de grossesse. Mais la campagne n’est finalement pas si différente des grandes villes à en croire son récent coup de gueule. Le 14 juillet dernier, l’ex de Jean Dujardin s’insurgeait contre ceux qui préfèrent laisser leurs déchets à proximité des poubelles plutôt qu’à l’intérieur. Les vaches semblent parfois être de meilleure compagnie !

Le 19 août prochain, Alexandra Lamy sera de retour au cinéma dans le film Belle-fille, une comédie dans laquelle elle donne la réplique à Miou-Miou et Thomas Dutronc.

THE EARLIER-THAN-EXPECTED return of Johnny Sexton to start three consecutive Guinness Pro14 games had limited the early-season exposure for his understudy, but Ross Byrne showed all his quality in the out-half position on Saturday.

Much of the pre-match talk revolved around the two number 10s, and once it became clear Sexton wasn’t going to be involved against Munster, Byrne was given the chance to get the upper hand on his former team-mate, Joey Carbery.

In producing an assured and confident display in the inter-pro derby, Byrne deputised for the Leinster captain expertly, not only managing the game and kicking 13 points from the tee, but showcasing just how much his work off the ball has improved.

Having started the first two outings of the campaign against Cardiff Blues and Scarlets, Byrne sat out the first home game against Dragons, and with Sexton back in harness, was limited to brief cameos against Edinburgh and Connacht off the bench.

So it was no surprise the 23-year-old was hell-bent on seizing his opportunity at the Aviva Stadium, as he guided Leo Cullen’s side to a fourth straight win over Munster, and their 10th on the bounce at the national stadium.

“It wasn’t anything new,” he said of his pre-match nerves. “I’ve played big games before and, obviously, we got off to a flying start which definitely makes it a lot easier.

“We’re disappointed with how we let them back into the game. We’ll worry about that next week, but I wouldn’t say I was more nervous than usual.”

As he has consistently done, Byrne showed maturity in calling the shots, demonstrating how tactically shrewd he is and underlining a measured capability of orchestrating and controlling a game.

While it was Munster who had large tracts of the game, the hosts were defensively firm at one end and clinical at the other, as they established an early lead through a penalty try and the first of two James Lowe scores, while Byrne’s boot ensured the scoreboard was always ticking over.

The former St Michael’s student — who went off late in the game with cramp — was faultless off the tee, striking all five of his attempts sweet and through, with his third and final penalty in the 71st minute proving crucial in ending Munster’s spirited fightback.

“It is something I’ve been working on very hard over the last few weeks with Emmet Farrell [Leinster kicking coach],” he explained afterwards. “It’s always nice when it pays off like that.

“Just take each kick as it comes and don’t worry about the result too much, instead focus on getting the process right.

“Overall, I’m relatively happy but there’s always areas I can improve on, and you always have to get better if you want to get to the next level.

“In playing, training and seeing Johnny every day you want to get to his level, and be right up there as the top 10 in Europe and the world.”

Can you get to that level?

“I believe I can, yes.”

And Byrne is certainly moving in the right direction.

In addition to his place-kicking and game-management, it is clear he has worked heavily on his tackle technique and in making nine tackles during his 71 minutes on the pitch, showed a real appetite for work in that busy midfield channel.

“It’s probably something I had to do a lot of because we didn’t have the ball,” he continued. “It is definitely an area I’ve been working on in the last while and over the pre-season. It’s going well.

“Just working on little things in terms of technique and what not, just the little percents you can get right to give yourself an advantage.”

Having toured Australia with Ireland during the summer, Byrne has got a taste of Joe Schmidt’s environment and although he has yet to win his first cap, made a good impression by all accounts Down Under.

There are likely to be opportunities in November, particularly in the fixtures against Italy and USA, but for now Byrne is focused on an important block with Leinster, starting with Friday’s Heineken Champions Cup opener against Wasps at the RDS.

Sexton, having put his feet up over the weekend, will return to captain Cullen’s side for the Pool 1 opener, but once again Byrne has showed Leinster have a more-than-able 10 waiting in the wings.

“At the moment, especially in the block we’re in, it’s such an important part of the season, it can really go a long way to how your season goes,” he added.

“So it’s just taking each game at a time, especially the way the team is rotating a lot — we’ve used over 40 players already, and I’m sure we’ll use a lot more, so when you are given a chance, you have to step up.”

That he did.
