Gloucester back-rower Jake Polledri will play for his first match in nearly two years when he lines out for his club in Wednesday’s Premiership Rugby Cup fixture versus Worcester at Kingsholm. It was November 2020 when the Italian forward was seriously injured while playing against Scotland in the Autumn Nations Series.

There were fears that Polledri might not play again after damaging his anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments, an injury that had complications since then. He was also dealt the cruel blow earlier this year of his younger brother Sam tragically passing away.

However, the 26-year-old now has a light at the end of the tunnel – at least in a rugby sense – as he has pitched up fit for Gloucester and will play his first competitive match in 22 months when the Warriors pay their midweek visit.

A Gloucester statement read: “George Skivington has named his side for the opening match of the 2022/23 Premiership Rugby Cup campaign against Worcester at Kingsholm on Wednesday evening.

“Experienced Ben Morgan captains the Cherry & Whites at number 8 alongside Jack Clement and Jake Polledri in the back row. Ciaran Knight, Henry Walker and Bryan O’Connor combine to form the front row, with Arthur Clark and Freddie Thomas completing the pack in the second row.

“Stephen Varney is joined by George Barton at half-backs with Giorgi Kveseladze and Jack Reeves in the centre. Jake Morris, Tom Seabrook and Morgan Adderly-Jones form an exciting back three.”

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.
