Japan Rugby League One side Canon Eagles have bolstered their squad with the signings of two experienced players in South African fullback Brendan Owen and Irish lock Cormac Daly.

Both players bring a solid amount of experience from their respective domestic leagues and are expected to add significant depth to the Japanese side’s roster.

Brendan Owen (6’1, 89kg) leaves Bath having been a solid squad presence in the Premiership side. He was signed from the now-defunct Jersey Reds on a short-term contract near the beginning of last season.

His previous clubs include Australian sides Western Force, Perth Spirit, San Dona in Italy and Boland Cavaliers in South Africa.

Second-row Daly (6’7, 120kg) joins Canon Eagles from the Queensland Reds in Australia. Daly brings plenty of physicality and lineout expertise to the Japanese side.

He spent three years in the Connacht academy before a cancelled move to Rugby United New York due to the pandemic. After a short-term deal with Connacht without appearances, he continued with Clontarf, while registered on the books of Leinster.

The former Ireland U20s lock was never actually capped by the Irish province although he featured for the side against Chile in a friendly in 2022.

In 2023 he moved to Australia to play for Randwick, earning a Super Rugby contract with the Reds for 2024. Daly made his debut in Round 1 against the Waratahs.

Peato Mauvaka cops ban for headbutt on Scotland star

Months earlier, I’d sunk $156,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity, an online cryptocurrency investment promising sky-high returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowing, and the numbers kept climbing. But when I tried to withdraw my profits, the platform froze. Emails went unanswered, support chats died, and my “investment” vanished into the digital ether. I’d been scammed, and the sting of it burned deep.Desperate, I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest while scouring the web for help. Their site/reviews didn’t promise miracles, just results, specialists in tracking down lost funds from online scams. Skeptical but out of options, I reached out. The process started with a simple form: I detailed the scam, uploaded screenshots of transactions, and shared the wallet addresses I’d sent my crypto to. Within hours, they confirmed they’d take my case.What followed was like watching a high-stakes chess game unfold, though I only saw the moves, not the players. Alpha Spy Nest dove into the blockchain, tracing my funds through a maze of wallets designed to obscure their path. They explained how scammers often use mixers to launder crypto, but certain patterns like timing and wallet clustering, could still betray them. I didn’t understand half of it, but their confidence kept me hopeful. Hours later, they updated me: my money had landed in an exchange account tied to the scam network. They’d identified it through a mix of on-chain analysis and intel from sources I’d never grasp. After 24 hours, i got a message, my funds were frozen in the scammer’s account pending review. Alpha Spy Nest had apparently flagged it just in time.  After some back-and-forth, the exchange with the help of Alpha Spy Nest reversed the transactions, and $145,000 of my original $156,000 hit my wallet. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, siphoned off early. I never met anyone from Alpha Spy Nest, never heard a voice or saw a face. Yet, their methodical precision pulled me back from the brink. My money wasn’t fully restored, but the recovery felt like a win, a lifeline from a faceless ally in a world of digital shadows.
