L’Écosse défiera les Fidji avec un XV 100 % local

Puisque la rencontre Écosse – Fidji figure en dehors de la fenêtre internationale, Gregor Townsend a été contraint de composer une équipe en ne prenant en compte que les joueurs évoluant au pays.

Gregor Townsend a effectué neuf changements dans la composition de l’équipe d’Écosse qui affrontera les Fidji samedi, par rapport au XV aligné lors de la dernière sortie des siens, cet été.

Les Écossais s’étaient imposés 31-19 à Montevideo le 27 juillet contre l’Uruguay. Duhan van der Merwe en avait profité pour devenir le meilleur marqueur d’essai de l’histoire de l’Écosse au cours d’une tournée en Amérique que les troupes de Townsend avaient terminé invaincues.

Quatorze semaines plus tard, pour l’ouverture de leur tournée d’automne, le sélectionneur a procédé à quatre changements parmi la ligne arrière, et cinq dans le pack.

Kyle Rowe, Huw Jones et van der Merwe sont les trois arrières à conserver leur poste. Ils évolueront aux côtés de Darcy Graham, du nouveau capitaine Sione Tuipulotu, tandis qu’Ali Price et Adam Hastings formeront la charnière.

Devant, Ewan Ashman, Matt Fagerson et Rory Darge seront encore titulaires, accompagnés de Pierre Schoeman, Zander Fagerson, Grant Gilchrist, Scott Cummings et Jack Dempsey.

« Nommé capitaine la semaine dernière, Sione Tuipulotou dirigera l’équipe au Scottish Gas Murrayfield pour la première fois face aux Fidji », peut-on lire dans un communiqué publié par la fédération écossaise, qui explique aussi que « la plupart des joueurs retenus évoluent au pays car la rencontre se déroule en dehors de la fenêtre internationale.

Ce qui explique par exemple l’absence du Toulousain Blair Kinghorn.

Rassie Erasmus explains so-called Willie Le Roux Bok selection snub

It started with a gut-wrenching realization. I’d been duped. Months earlier, I’d poured $133,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity a cryptocurrency investment platform promising astronomical returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowed, and the numbers in my account dashboard climbed steadily. I’d watched my Bitcoin grow, or so I thought, until the day I tried to withdraw it. That’s when the excuses began: “Processing delays,” “Additional verification required,” and finally, a demand for a hefty “release fee.” Then, silence. The platform vanished overnight, taking my money with it. I was left staring at a blank screen, my savings gone, and a bitter taste of shame in my mouth.I didn’t know where to turn. The police shrugged cybercrime was a black hole they couldn’t navigate. Friends offered sympathy but no solutions. I spent sleepless nights scouring forums, reading about others who’d lost everything to similar scams. That’s when I stumbled across a thread mentioning a group specializing in crypto recovery. They didn’t promise miracles, but they had a reputation for results. Desperate, I reached out.The first contact was a breath of fresh air. I sent an email explaining my situation dates, transactions, screenshots, everything I could scrape together. Within hours, I got a reply. No fluff, no false hope, just a clear request for more details and a promise to assess my case. I hesitated, wary of another scam, but something about their professionalism nudged me forward. I handed over my evidence: the wallet addresses I’d sent my Bitcoin to, the emails from the fake platform, even the login credentials I’d used before the site disappeared.The process kicked off fast. They explained that scammers often move funds through a web of wallets to obscure their tracks, but Bitcoin’s blockchain leaves a trail if you know how to follow it. That’s where their expertise came in. They had tools and know-how I couldn’t dream of, tracing the flow of my coins across the network. I didn’t understand the technical jargon hash rates, mixing services, cold wallets but I didn’t need to. They kept me in the loop with updates: “We’ve identified the initial transfer,” “The funds split here,” “We’re narrowing down the endpoints.” Hours passed , and I oscillated between hope and dread. Then came the breakthrough. They’d pinpointed where my Bitcoin had landed a cluster of wallets tied to the scammers. Some of it had been cashed out, but a chunk remained intact, sitting in a digital vault the crooks thought was untouchable. I didn’t ask too many questions about that part; I just wanted results. They pressured the right points, leveraging the blockchain evidence to freeze the wallets holding my funds before the scammers could liquidate them. Next morning, I woke up to an email that made my heart skip. “We’ve secured access to a portion of your assets.” Not all of it some had slipped through the cracks but $133,000 worth of Bitcoin, my original investment, was recoverable. They walked me through the final steps: setting up a secure wallet, verifying the transfer, watching the coins land. When I saw the balance tick up on my screen, I sat there, stunned. It was real. My money was back.The ordeal wasn’t painless. I’d lost time, sleep, and a bit of faith in humanity. But the team at Alpha Spy Nest Recovery turned a nightmare into a second chance.  I’ll never forget what they did. In a world full of thieves, they were the ones who fought to make things right.

I had fallen victim to a scam and lost a crazy amount of crypto coins to a fraudulent investment scheme. I was down and desperate and wasn't sure of where to turn to for help as our local authorities reported the fraud was not helping and time was fast going. On the verge of giving up, things turned around.

I sourced their contact through their website (https://metatech-recoverypro.com/) and reached out to them for assistance. META TECH RECOVERY PRO explained my situation in detail, and I was amazed at how these scammers are well organized. META TECH RECOVERY PRO promised me positive results, and trust me, they didn't disappoint. Within hours of tussling with these scammers, I received an incoming deposit to my crypto wallet, and at that moment, I realized that I had been rescued and my stolen crypto investment had successfully been recovered. META TECH RECOVERY PRO did everything within its capabilities to ensure that my stolen crypto was successfully recovered.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏


“Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.
