Ali Price backed as 'emotions can run high' at Glasgow return

Sean Everitt expects “calm” Ali Price to take his much-hyped return to Scotstoun in his stride as the Scotland scrum-half prepares to start for Edinburgh against parent club Glasgow in the first leg of the 1872 Cup.

After making a surprise loan switch from Warriors to the team from the Scottish capital last month in a bid to get more game time and enhance his international prospects, the 30-year-old will run out at his old stomping ground for Friday’s inter-city United Rugby Championship showdown.

Senior coach Everitt has no qualms about handing the 2021 British and Irish Lions squad member only his third start for Edinburgh against the team with which he has spent most of the past decade.

“Ali’s settled very quickly into the environment, a lot quicker than I thought he would after being at Glasgow for so many years,” said Everitt.

“He brings a wealth of experience and calmness to the group. He’s very excited about the challenge that lies ahead for him. We will definitely look to Ali to bring calmness to the group tomorrow, we know that emotions can run high.

“Having a guy like him with that knowledge of Glasgow has been extremely helpful and, with his experience of being an international, he will certainly help the team tomorrow night.”

Price’s familiarity with Glasgow has helped him get the nod over Edinburgh captain Ben Vellacott to start in the number nine jersey.

“Ben offers us something off the bench and Ali has obviously got the experience of international rugby and playing for the British and Irish Lions, and he’s comfortable playing at Scotstoun,” said Everitt. “That did play a role in the selection.”

Everitt has made only two changes to the side that started last weekend’s Challenge Cup win over Castres.

Scotland wing Darcy Graham takes over from Harry Paterson to make his first start since the World Cup after injury, while WP Nel replaces the injured Javan Sebastian at tighthead.

Argentina back Emiliano Boffelli is on the bench after being absent since the World Cup due to injury.

“I think we’ve put together the strongest team that’s available,” said Everitt. “There’s certainly no rotational changes within the group. We’ve been working towards trying to get our big-name players back into the group.

“Darcy and Emiliano have been carrying injuries for some time and it was always my plan that when it came to playing Glasgow twice we’d try and be at our best, so the plan has come together quite nicely.

“All derbies are 50/50 though. It doesn’t matter who you put out on the field – the guys need to perform at the best of their ability.

“I know that personally the guys in the Scotland squad want to get one over their team-mates and, secondly, we’ve spoken about winning silverware and this is definitely an opportunity to put a trophy in the cabinet. Hopefully we can take this opportunity with both hands.”

My Journey Through Loss, Discovery, and Recover/ Hack Savvy Tech


Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

One morning I discovered our Bitcoin wallet emptied, $350,000 gone, stolen by a fake tech-education partner, I sat frozen in the cold glow of my laptop. Those funds were meant to build coding labs, buy laptops, and bring robotics workshops to kids in neighborhoods where hope often felt like a rumor. Now, the balance reads $0.00. The screen’s blue light reflected off empty desks in our community center, where laughter had once bounced during programming camps. I felt like I’d failed a thousand futures.  Then, Ms. Rivera, a retired teacher who’d turned her garage into a makeshift tech hub, found me staring at the void. Her hands, still chalk-dusted from tutoring algebra, gripped my shoulders. “You’re not done yet,” she said. That night, she posted our story in an online educators’ forum. By dawn, a flood of replies poured in, but one stood out: “Contact On WhatsApp +.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7 OR Email. Tech cybers force recovery (@ cyber services (.)com. They’re miracle workers.”  I called, voice shaking. A woman named Priya answered, her tone steady as a lighthouse. She asked questions in plain language: “When did the money vanish?” “What’s the scammer’s wallet address?” Within hours, her team mapped the theft, a maze of fake accounts and dark web mixers. “They’re hiding your Bitcoin like needles in a haystack,” Priya explained. “But we’ve got magnets.”  Sixteen days of nerve-wracking limbo followed. Our volunteer coders, like Jamal, a college dropout teaching Python to teens, refused to cancel classes. “We’ll use chalkboards if we have to,” he said. Parents brought homemade meals, kids scribbled “THANK U” notes for labs they hoped to see. Then, on a rainy Tuesday, Priya called: “94% recovered. The kids won’t miss a thing.”I’ll never forget reloading the wallet. The balance blinked back $329,000 as Jamal whooped and Ms. Rivera dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. Today, our labs hum with donated laptops. Kids like Sofia, an 11-year-old who codes apps to find clean water sources, light up screens with ideas that could change the world.  TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY didn’t just reclaim coins, they salvaged dreams. Priya’s team works like teachers of the digital age, turning scams into lessons and despair into grit. And to the forum stranger who tagged them: you’re the quiet hero who rewrote our story.If your mission gets hacked, call these wizards. They’ll fight in the shadows so kids like Sofia can keep lighting up the world.
