Laura Lempika attend un heureux événement. La candidate de télé-réalité de 31 ans est enceinte de son premier enfant, fruit de ses amours avec Nikola Lozina. Et elle a décidé de ne rien cacher à ses abonnés. La candidate des Marseillais VS Le Reste du monde a donc créé une chaîne YouTube pour parler des joies et des peines de la grossesse, sans tabou.
C’est le 19 juillet 2020 que Laura Lempika a lancé sa chaîne LaulauBabyShow et qu’elle a dévoilé sa première vidéo. Ses fans ont donc appris qu’elle avait mis quelques mois pour réaliser son rêve de tomber enceinte : “Pour certaines femmes, c’est plus simple de tomber enceinte. Pourquoi ? Le facteur numéro 1 : le stress. J’ai mis énormément de temps… Enfin huit mois pour tomber enceinte. (…) Inconsciemment, on va bloquer sur l’idée de tomber enceinte et au final, on est déçue chaque mois quand on voit débarquer les ragnagnas. Mais il faut lâcher prise, chose que j’ai réussi à faire au fur et à mesure. Oubliez que vous voulez avoir un enfant.“
Afin de maximiser ses chances, la grande amie de Manon Marsault a installé une application afin de savoir quelle était la meilleure période pour tomber enceinte. Elle a également soulevé ses jambes après chaque rapport sexuel, une technique qui serait efficace pour que les spermatozoïdes trouvent plus facilement le bon chemin. “Ne vous excitez pas dès le premier jour de retard de règles. Je l’ai déjà fait, j’étais comme une dingue à appeler mes copines. Mais ça arrive à tout le monde d’avoir du retard. Donc attendez au moins une semaine“, a-t-elle averti ses abonnées.
Tous les mois j’étais déçue et ça me foutait le moral en l’air
Malgré quelques faux espoirs, Laura Lempika a eu le bonheur de tomber enceinte et a donc dû l’annoncer à son fiancé Nikola Lozina. “J’ai fait un petit jeu comme les enfants à l’école. Dans une main je n’avais rien et dans l’autre j’avais le test. Je lui ai demandé au réveil de choisir l’une des mains et il a trouvé celle où était le test“, a-t-elle révélé. Elle s’est ensuite confiée sur ses trois premiers mois de grossesse assez difficiles entre nausées, fatigue, changements d’humeur et changements de silhouette. “J’ai toujours eu très peu de cellulite. Le jour où vous êtes enceinte, jambonneau party. La cellulite arrive avec sa couronne. Ça vous met de mauvaise humeur. Et j’ai gonflé comme un ballon d’hélium“, a-t-elle conclu. Mais elle relativise en se disant que prochainement, elle accueillera sa fille ou son fils.

Une fois sa vidéo postée, Laura Lempika a remercié ses fans de leur soutien sur Snapchat. Elle est également revenue sur un point de sa vidéo qui a beaucoup fait réagir : le stress que peuvent ressentir les femmes qui souhaitent avoir un enfant. Afin de rassurer les personnes qui la suivent, la brunette a dévoilé comment elle avait réussi à lâcher prise : “A un moment donné ça m’a saoulée. Je me suis dit qu’il viendrait quand il viendrait. Le problème c’est que tous les mois j’étais déçue et ça me foutait le moral en l’air. Même Niko à un moment donné, je sais que ça le minait grave. Tout était bon, test gynéco et tout. Mais c’était à force de bloquer dessus. Quand vous ne bloquez plus dessus et que vous vous laissez vivre, ça arrive. Je me suis concentrée sur mon mariage du coup, j’ai pensé à autre chose et c’est venu.“
C’est le 12 juillet dernier que Laura Lempika et Nikola Lozina ont annoncé cette grossesse sur Instagram. “C’est avec une immense joie et beaucoup d’émotion qu’après 4 longs mois d’attente je vous annonce que bientôt nous serons 3. Bientôt une nouvelle page s’écrit …….la plus belle réussite de ma vie… Je t’aime Nikola Lozina. Nous sommes les plus heureux du monde merci mon dieu“, avait écrit Laura en légende d’une photo dévoilant pour la première fois son baby bump. Le futur papa avait quant à lui écrit : “Merci à la femme de ma vie d’avoir réalisé mon rêve : devenir papa .. Je vais enfin connaître le bonheur de fonder ma famille…“

L’ancien rugbyman fait l’objet d’une plainte pour vol et violences, selon les informations du Canard enchaîné publiées mercredi. Les faits se seraient déroulés le 5 juillet 2020, dans une boutique de chapeaux de Sanary-sur-Mer, dans le Var : Christophe Dominici s’en serait pris à une vendeuse avant de saccager le magasin et de prendre la fuite avec un chapeau.
L’ex-sportif toulonnais de 48 ans se serait rendu, torse nu, dans cette boutique pour y acheter un Panama. L’ancien ailier aurait voulu acheter “le chapeau le plus cher” du magasin, avant de négocier pour repartir avec et revenir le payer plus tard. Face au refus de la vendeuse, Christophe Dominici aurait laissé éclater sa colère au point de retourner le magasin, la pousser au sol et s’enfuir avec dans les mains… un chapeau en dentelle. Poursuivi par deux autres commerçantes, il aurait finalement abandonné son butin et disparu. La vendeuse aurait ensuite appelé la police. Elle a bénéficié de 5 jours d’incapacité temporaire de travail (ITT).
Ces dernières semaines ont décidément été compliquées pour Christophe Dominici, puisqu’en plus de cette plainte, l’ancien international tricolore a vu les négociations pour le rachat du club de rugby de Béziers échouer, le 13 juillet dernier. Le rugbyman était le principal intermédiaire d’investisseurs émiratis.
Déjà en 2017, l’ancien joueur du Stade français était au coeur de rumeurs concernant de présumées violences conjugales sur sa femme Loretta Dinaro après une soirée arrosée à leur domicile, dans les Hauts-de-Seine. Finalement, le couple avait “fermement” démenti, se disant “plus soudé et amoureux que jamais, soucieux de protéger le cercle familial ainsi que ses enfants”.

LEINSTER HAVE CONFIRMED that Leo Cullen has been appointed head coach of the province on a two-year contract.
The former lock had been in the role on an interim basis after Matt O’Connor was removed at the end of last season and the province have now acted to make Cullen’s position permanent.

Cullen informed Leinster’s players of his decision to accept the offer at a squad meeting this morning in UCD.
Leinster have also confirmed that Kurt McQuilkin’s short-term contract as defence coach has been extended to a two-year deal. Girvan Dempsey is on a short-term contract as backs coach until after the World Cup, while John Fogarty had previously been appointed as scrum coach.
Richie Murphy will re-join the set-up as skills and kicking coach after his involvement with Ireland’s World Cup campaign.
37-year-old Cullen won three Heineken Cups as the province’s captain, earning a total of 221 caps before moving into the position of forwards coach last season following his retirement from playing.
Cullen certainly didn’t expect to find himself as head coach at this early point in his new career, but Leinster are confident that the Wicklow man was the ideal candidate to succeed O’Connor.
“It was a thorough and robust interview process and we took our time to ensure that this was the case. The process included the input of all relevant stakeholders, and ultimately Leo was the best candidate that we interviewed.

“This is an exciting time for Leinster Rugby. We have great talent coming through our sub and full academy. We had 25 players called up to provisional World Cup squad and we have signed players during the summer that our supporters can get really excited about.
“I am sure I echo everyone’s sentiments when I wish Leo and the lads the very best of luck over the coming season.”
Cullen will have the backing of everyone as Leinster head coach – TonerSonny Bill Williams in New Zealand 7s squad for Rio Olympics season

FROM HERE ON in, the Rugby World Cup gets real.
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
After two opening Rugby World Cup warm-up fixtures of low to medium intensity, today’s meeting with a full strength Wales (kick-off 2.30pm) and next weekend’s trip to Twickenham promise to be full on.
Head coach Joe Schmidt has so far been able to avoid making cuts to his squad for September. That will change soon too.
In truth, it has been an impressive use of resources from Schmidt. Rather than risk alienating any player by cutting them loose early, the Kiwi has kept a large group very close to him. Those who appeared to be early casualties were brought back from brief provincial spells, back under the wing of Team Ireland.
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
This weekend, the time when many would counsel cotton wool for any player not in the last chance saloon, Schmidt has named a blend of certain starters and fringe hopefuls to face Wales. Meanwhile, he has sent two Lions back to their provinces along with a versatile prop and the 2014 Six Nations Player of the Year.
The message from Schmidt is clear: the window of opportunity is still wide open until he sits down to make the hard calls on Saturday night.
“Probably not,” says Paul O’Connell when we asked if he had played in a more competitive squad.
“It’s a great thing to have. We’re all about preparation and how we train and training at a certain level and a certain intensity.
“The competition in the squad adds to that. You regret a mistake in training almost much as a mistake in a match. That’s a great place to be when you’re trying to prepare really well for games.”
Today’s game will be Paul O’Connell’s last international on home soil. Source: Ryan Byrne/INPHO
The heady combination of that internal competition, Schmidt’s attention to detail and a cycle-defining tournament coming across the horizon must surely bring a burdensome pressure. Perhaps not for O’Connell, but for some of the less experienced, less decorated players around him.
“The way we deal with pressure is we prepare as well as we can, which allows us to play a certain way. Then you deal with the consequences of that performance,” explains O’Connell.
It’s a short-term approach that Schmidt has always pushed upon his players. Worry about today’s job, tomorrow will look after itself.
“It’s very hard to recognise if somebody’s buckling under pressure. I think sometimes you can get your preparation a little bit wrong and maybe that’s easy to recognise and you can help someone from that point of view.
“Particularly from a line-out or set play point of view it’s easy to recognise if someone is missing something, to help him out and vice-versa. So that’s something everyone does across the board.
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
“The way we do little things in scrum and line-out change from week to week and it’s important we help and communicate with eachother.”
The focus on the here and now is even more apparent when Irish players are posed the inevitable ‘Can Ireland win the World Cup?‘ question. We are past the period when Ireland players feel they have to publicly declare that they are reaching for the stars lest anyone think they’re settling for second best. Schmidt’s squad have back-to-back Championship medals and an ingrained culture of improving on every facet of the game from one week to the next.
“We haven’t thought about that question or spoken about that to anyone,” captain O’Connell assured the baying press after his final Captain’s Run on Lansdowne Road.
“That’s probably not the answer you want, but that’s how we’re preparing and how we are living week-to-week. It works for us and we’ll stick to it.”
Wales it is then. And any remaining fears from supporters who stumped up to go and watch a warm-up fixture might fade when listening to O’Connell’s mindset.
“We’re not holding anything back anyway.
“Everyone’s trying to take their opportunities and everyone else is trying to put everyone else in a position to that their opportunities.
“There’s no holding back. I say it all the time, we don’t get too far ahead of ourselves. I’m sure management have a long-term plan, but as players we don’t. We have a heavy emphasis on what’s right in front of us and we work really hard at that.”
Every training session, every minute of every game. Thanks Paulie.

‘It’s about staying in the moment’ – Ireland’s Sexton on place-kicking successKearney’s impressive pre-season pushes him to strong World Cup contentionCian Healy could make his Ireland comeback as soon as next week
IRELAND WERE BEATEN 21-13 by England at Twickenham in their final World Cup warm-up clash. Read our match report here.
England rule in the air
It was clear from early in the game that Ireland were keen to gain territory through their usually effective kicking game, but England ruled under the high ball at Twickenham this afternoon.
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
Though the likes of Dave Kearney had impressive one-off catches, the Mike Brown-led English dealt with Ireland’s kicking game superbly. The ever-improving Jonny May was excellent in covering the backfield too whenever Ireland looked for distance on kicks.
The chase from Joe Schmidt’s side was uncharacteristically poor, as they failed to hit the exacting standards the Kiwi places on them to get off the ground and disrupt. Brown consistently dismantled the danger.
Another concern was when Ireland kicked the ball, particularly on exits. England seemed to dictate the terms and when Schmidt’s side might have used an extra phase to get chasers on their feet, they instead kicked from weak positions and put themselves under pressure as England bounced back.
First-half failings
The loss of the aerial battle was only one element of a desperately poor first half from Ireland in which the error count was off the charts. Dropped passes constantly stunted attempts to regain momentum, while ball carriers had little impact on the gainline.
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
Defensively, the same disjointedness we saw in the earlier warm-up games against Wales and Scotland was evident again. This may still be pre-season but with two weeks until the tournament begins, that was a concern.
Making the system errors even more telling were missed one-on-one tackles, though England deserve credit for giving their carriers chances to win those battles with good ruck speed and their clever rugby league-style diamond shape in phase attack.
To go into the break just 12-3 down was, in truth, a good return for Ireland based on their first-half display.
Ireland lose the breakdown
Perhaps the key issue again today, following on from last weekend’s defeat to Justin Tipuric and Wales in this area. England were ferocious at the breakdown in defence for the first 40 minute in particular, consistently slowing the Irish ball.
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
That fed into the aforementioned lack of gainline impact from Ireland and Schmidt will have been hugely disappointed with some of the rucking from his players.
It’s a fine art, and even when Ireland vastly improved in this department after the break, there were moments when they had too many players in the ruck. Finding the balance is essential, but we can rest assured that Ireland have done so on numerous occasions in the past.
The likes of Jamie Heaslip got a better handle on England’s rucks in the second 40, managing to slow their possession and force George Ford to kick the ball slightly more. That was certainly a positive sign.
Rory Best’s sublime piece of rucking for Paul O’Connell’s try, when the hooker opened up a huge hole for his captain by driving the England defender deep beyond the breakdown point, is the standard Ireland will aspire to in the coming months
Did we see more?
This summer has, of course, partly been about what we’re not seeing from Ireland. A simple game plan against Wales last weekend came up just short in attempting to deliver a win and Schmidt realised that more was needed as Ireland looked to mount a comeback in Twickenham.
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
The maul play that led to O’Connell’s try was hugely welcome, particularly in an area where Ireland have previously excelled but stalled more recently.
A week after something similar-ish almost saw Sean O’Brien score against Wales, the signs are that Ireland’s maul will have many tricks ready for the World Cup.
In phase play too, there was some growth in Ireland’s tactics as they reverted to some of the linking plays we saw against Scotland in Dublin. The likes of Devin Toner and Peter O’Mahony were asked to pass rather than simply trundle into big English defenders and those plays give Ireland so much more potential in attack.
Still, we await the strike moves Schmidt has concocted for his backline and off lineout and scrum platforms at the World Cup.
Dave Kearney is a starter
This performance surely nailed down Dave Kearney’s status as a starter for Ireland in the biggest games at the World Cup. Over on the right wing, Tommy Bowe may have ensured exactly the opposite.
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
Kearney was incredibly effective in defence, forcing carriers back in almost every single tackle he made. Combine those moments of big contact with some magnificent reads and it was stunning stuff from the Louth man in defence.
Going forward, Kearney was similarly effective, making yards with each of his touches and positively bursting with energy. The 26-year-old looks to be in the shape of his life and promises so much at the World Cup.
Bowe, meanwhile, appeared to be struggling with the pace and physicality of the contest, such a rare thing for the Monaghan native. He was brushed off by Jonny May for the England wing’s try and had some poor touches with hand and boot.
Schmidt has put pressure on Bowe to deliver after a poor pre-season had seen him come close to missing out on the World Cup altogether and with Simon Zebo, Luke Fitzgerald, Keith Earls also competing for the wing spots, Bowe needs to find form.

THE UPCOMING TOURNAMENT hosted by England, looks set to be the biggest and most competitive in Rugby World Cup history.
The All Blacks have been dominant in the years between World Cups, and are 5-4 favourite to retain the title, however the rest of the world looks to be catching up to the world champions.
The 2014 Northern hemisphere tour displayed just how competitive world rugby has become, with the European teams helping themselves to a number of ‘upset’ victories over South Africa and Australia.
Now, with the competition drawing ever closer and the anticipation reaching fever pitch, what better time to look back and rank the Rugby World Cups that have come before it.

No team has ever dominated a Rugby World Cup in the manner the All Blacks did in 1987. It was the inaugural tournament, held in New Zealand, and the home team were head and shoulders above the rest from the very beginning.
The All Blacks racked up a total of 269 points on their road to the final. They won all six of their games in convincing fashion, including a 29-9 defeat of France in the final.
They scored 43 tries and conceded just four.

England made it all the way to the final in 2007, as they looked to win back-to-back Rugby World Cups. But they came up against a far superior South Africa team in the final.
South Africa, who had hammered England in the group stages, were comfortable enough winners with a scoreline of 15-6. But it was a largely forgettable tournament, particular if you were an Irish fan.
It was a disaster of a tournament from the start. After two unimpressive wins against Namibia and Georgia, Ireland were easily dispatched 25-3 by France. They had a mountain to climb going into their final group game with Argentina. They lost that game 30-15, crashing out at the pool stage for the very first time.
5. 1999 RWC – Wales

The 1999 Rugby World Cup was not one to remember for Ireland. The loss to Argentina , the darlings of the tournament, particularly stands out. In truth, the tournament wasn’t a memorable one in general but it did feature one sensational weekend of rugby with two of the best games in the history of the competition.
The semi-finals will be long remembered for the French upsetting New Zealand, and the day before that, a truly classic encounter between Australia and South Africa.
4. 1991 RWC – UK, France and Ireland
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
The 1991 Rugby World Cup was the first to be staged in the northern hemisphere. It was jointly hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France – who were at the time, the five participants in the Five Nations Championship.
The tournament was not dominated by any one team, unlike the 1987 tournament. An example of this was Western Somoa’s upset victory over Wales in Cardiff, which saw the Welsh eliminated from the tournament.
The match of the tournament was, arguably, the match between Ireland and Australia in Lansdowne Road. It took a last-gap try from Michael Lynagh to secure a 19-18 victory for the Aussies. But the moment of the match, and one of the most memorable in RWC history, is when Gordon Hamilton outpaced Australian winger David Campese over half the length of the pitch to give Ireland the lead.

The 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand had something for everyone. For Irish fans, there was the inspired performance in which they defied all the odds to beat Australia.
There was no shortage of excitement matches and moments. From the semi-final between Wales and France, which featured an extremely divisive refereeing decision, to Tonga’s unlikely victory over France, it was an extremely exciting tournament.
The lasting memory of the tournament, however, will be the emotional scenes after the game as New Zealand celebrated their first World Cup win since 1987 on home soil.
2. 2003 RWC – Australia

The 2003 Rugby World Cup was staged in Australia. It was the first time a team had attempted to defend the Webb Ellis trophy on home soil. There was also a change in the tournament layout, with the competition now consisting of four pools of five competing nations.
The most memorable moment of the whole tournament took place in the closing moments of the final. Jonny Wilkinson wrote himself into the history books with a successful drop goal to help England become the first northern hemisphere team to win the World Cup.

1. 1995 RWC – South Africa
Source: ALLSPORT/INPHO
The Rugby World Cup in 1995 was so good it inspired a book and subsequent film. But it is significant for a number of other reasons. Not only was it the last tournament of the amateur era, it features Jonah Lomu at his peak and featured a number of memorable matches.
There are few moments in sporting history as poignant as when South African captain François Pienaar received the Webb Ellis Trophy from new President Nelson Mandela.

Ulster 17Gloucester 29
Adam McKendry reports from Kingspan Stadium
ULSTER LOST THEIR opening friendly of the season as they conceded five tries in a 29-17 defeat to Premiership side Gloucester at Kingspan Stadium this evening.
Two sides showcasing plenty of young talent mixed with veteran squad players, including the fresh-faced 17-year-old winger Aaron Sexton on the home side, met in Belfast for a well-contested exhibition, which was edged by the forward power of the English outfit.
A slow start to the game, with both sides showing the ring rustiness of summer, was finally punctuated in the 12th minute when Mark Atkinson’s inside pass set his centre partner Jack Reeves through into empty space.
He in turn fed scrum-half Ben Vellacott, however a superb covering tackle from Jonny Stewart prevented a certain try, and a brilliant counter-ruck by Angus Kernohan stole possession back for the hosts.
Ulster were then let off again 10 minutes later, this time Ollie Thorley butchering a certain seven pointer when Vellacott put him clear down the left wing, only for the winger to refuse to pass back inside to his supporting scrum-half and get tackled by Pete Nelson.
But the dam eventually burst and it came in the 26th minute, Gloucester flexing their powerful forward muscles at the maul and, with the penalty advantage, it was all too easy for former Munster lock Gerbrandt Grobler to force his way over.
Having shown very little up to this point, Ulster pulled level just before the half hour mark when Kernohan was stopped just short of the line from a strike move, with prop Tom O’Toole taking it on further, and academy flanker Marcus Rea spotting the gap to dive over the line for the try.
Three minutes later they had a second when Nick Timoney issued a vicious fend on Reeves, leaving the centre on the floor and a clear path to the line that the impressive back row gladly took.

The visitors would lead at the break, however, and it came much in the same way to their first as with the penalty advantage, out-half Owen Williams stepped inside and beat both Rea and Timoney to cross for the try.
Seven minutes after the restart, Gloucester had a third, fullback Tom Hudson stabbing a kick in behind and when Nelson misread the bounce of the ball, winger Charlie Sharples took full advantage to hack through and finish.
As the raft of substitutes came on, as they usually do in friendlies, Ulster began to get on top as they sought a try to draw level and, after nearly 10 minutes of trying, they found it on the hour mark when three replacements combined.
Taking the ball to the line, out-half Billy Burns’ pass back inside set winger Sexton through, the Bangor Grammar student juggling before controlling, and his pass put academy centre James Hume over for the score.
That would prove to be Burns’ last meaningful contribution though, as he hobbled off clutching his groin with just over 10 minutes to play, looking in considerable pain, and Ulster soon lost their other out-half Lowry when he was removed as well after seemingly being checked illegally off the ball.
And the English visitors secured the win when replacement hooker Todd Gleave steered another dominant maul over the line for a debut try, capping an excellent night for their pack, before adding some icing to the cake when Henry Purdy sprinted over with the final play of the game.
