Regan Grace appears to be even closer to making his competitive debut for Bath after the winger was added to the high-flying Premiership club’s Champions Cup roster on Thursday.

The former St Helens star, who scored 88 tries in 144 appearances for the Super League side, signed a short-term, rehab-based deal with Bath until the end of the season in February as he tries to rebuild his career following two injury-ravaged seasons.

Grace, still only 27, made a headline-grabbing code switch in 2022 when he signed for Racing 92, however, the speedster ruptured his Achilles as his League career drew to a close and never appeared for the glamorous Paris outfit.

If he does play against Exeter Chiefs in the Round of 16 Champions Cup clash, it would also be his competitive rugby union debut – unless he plays in this weekend’s Premiership match against Harlequins first.

Bath fans saw Grace’s potential in his first appearance in the blue, black and white jersey in the 59-19 friendly win over Gloucester three weeks ago. But he failed to make the matchday 23 in Bath’s 42-24 win over Sale last Sunday.

While he failed to get on the scoresheet against Gloucester, Grace’s footwork and agility with ball in hand was one of the features of the match and drew praise from Head of Rugby Johann van Graan. “He has something special inside him,” the South African said afterwards.

Gloucester were also impressed and the latest Fissler Confidential column reported that the Cherry & Whites are vying with their West Country rivals for his contract for next season.

Bath have also added recently signed loose forward Jacques du Plessis to their European roster, while Champions Cup opponents Exeter have registered full-back Dan John, son of Wales 2009 World Cup 7s-winning coach Paul John, and former Coventry centre Will Rigg.

Meanwhile, Wales international WillGriff John has returned to Sale Sharks as tight-head cover for Nick Schonert. Schonert underwent surgery on a bone spur on his Achilles on Tuesday and has been ruled out for the season.

John made nearly 100 appearances for the Sharks in a four-season stay in the North West before leaving to join the Scarlets. He arrives back at Sale after a short spell in France with Racing 92 and Montauban.

Flanker Cam Neild is another returnee in contention for a place in the squad for the Cup tie against Ospreys at the Brewery Field on Saturday, April 6th now that he has been registered for Europe.

Antoine Dupont undergoes surgery on injured knee ahead of long absence

Rugby incident, happens scores of times in a game. Dupont wasn’t even hit with much force, Beirne just clears him and force is added from behind from Furlong.

We can’t have special treatment for France just because their star is the one who gets unlucky.

There is already a lack of clarity around actual Written decisions and how they differ from bans.

For example, Mauvaka the official written decision states Mauvaka to have made a ‘reckless’, ‘deliberate’, shot ‘to the head’ of a ‘player in a vulnerable position’ on the ground. That’s a high level entry ban of 10 weeks. However, the press release did not show ‘reckless’ or ‘vulnerable player’ ticked alloweing Mauvaka to enter at the 6 match mid range.

Similarly Ntamack’s written report showed that it was a ‘reckless’, ‘head shot’ with ‘injury’. The injury was a fully displaced nose bone and Ntamack apologizes for the injury in the written report. This should give Ntamack an entry level of 6 weeks but in the Press Release ‘Injured’ is unticked meaning Ntamack gets away with a 4 week entry ban. This is not counting the fact that the world knows he deliberately injured Thomas.

No. France have been abusing the system for years, recently spreading disinformation about the Ringrose ban in order to undermine confidence in the process.

Giving France even more special treatment is not the answer.

Scammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around

It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.

I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.

GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.

GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.
