'He is a hell of a player' - Spencer ready to battle England rival

By PA
Bath v Northampton Saints – Gallagher Premiership – The Recreation Ground

Ben Spencer says that Bath will have to be “right on the money” when they bid for Gallagher Premiership title glory against Northampton.

The west country club have never been crowned Premiership champions, losing on their two previous Twickenham appearances in 2004 and 2015.

And Saints now stand between them and silverware, which would be Bath’s first major trophy since they lifted the European Challenge Cup 16 years ago.

The game is littered with intriguing head-to-head battles, but none more so than at scrum-half where Bath skipper Spencer opposes current England number nine and fellow in-form catalyst Alex Mitchell.

“I spent a lot of time with him in the Six Nations. He is a hell of a player,” Spencer said.

“We are going to have to be on the money in terms of our discipline. If we start giving penalties away he is dangerous, especially around the fringes.

“He is someone we have talked about this week going into the game. He is a top-quality player, and hopefully someone we can take care of on Saturday.

“We have to be right on the money. They have got threats across the board.”

While Bath have endured a trophy drought, Spencer arrived at the Recreation Ground after winning the Premiership four times and Champions Cup on three occasions with Saracens.

Spencer, though, feels there is sufficient experience among the Bath squad to hold them in good stead for what is a sold-out final.

“We are in a place now where there is a lot of experience in the group,” he added.

“A few years ago it was probably quite a young and inexperienced group, but we draw on the fact we played Harlequins at Twickenham last year and we learned how to play there.

“It was not in a final, but we said to ourselves that day ‘let’s make sure we do everything we can to be back here next year and play in the final’.

“If guys have questions around finals rugby, the group is in a great spot and experienced enough to handle the occasion.

“Since I have got here, the club has been through some tough times.

“If we manage to get over the line on Saturday, it will be up there with the best.

“There are no second chances, there is no next week. The small decisions become even bigger, those little moments in games.”

Sale Sharks refuse to give up on new stadium dream

It's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.

Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
