The 32-year-old has spent the last four seasons at Kingsholm after arriving from the Jaguares in 2020, and has gone on to make 67 appearances for the Cherry and Whites to date.

The lock is currently on international duty with Argentina, who host France over the next two weeks. With 94 caps to his name already, Alemanno may return to the West Country a centurion after the Rugby Championship.

“I can’t wait for the future and to see what we can achieve as a team.”

Gloucester director of rugby George Skivington added: “Anyone who’s made nearly 100 appearances for their national side is clearly an exceptional player.

“Mati is a very humble, hard-working rugby player and a big leader too. He’s settled here in Gloucestershire with his family and become an important part of this team.

“A player of Mati’s calibre is always going to have other options available to him, so we’re delighted that he’s committed his future to Gloucester Rugby.”

The announcement came the same day Gloucester CEO Alex Brown penned an open letter to Gloucester fans declaring his “full support” of Skivington after a patchy campaign last season, and vowing a change of style heading into September.

“We want to entertain at Kingsholm,” he wrote.

“We want to make you proud of your team. We want everyone here to enjoy what they do; we believe that comes with a freedom and license to be creative.

“We have been guilty of not taking that approach, of potentially being too restrictive in our game and that may have put unnecessary pressure on all of us; coaches and players alike.

“That pressure can quickly mount and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and arguably, we found ourselves in that cycle last season.”

Peato Mauvaka cops ban for headbutt on Scotland star

https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/discipline


The Press Release and Written Decision for the Mauvaka hearing have now been published. It looks like World Rugby are self sabotaging here, or have completely capitulated to France.

To decide the entry level ban the following criteria are assessed and ticked:

*Head Contact

*Reckless

*Intentional

*Player Injured

*Vulnerable Player


For the Press Release for Mauvaka only ‘Head Contact’ and ‘Intentional’ were ticked! Giving him a low level entry ban.

Here are quotes from the Written Decision directly contradicting the Press Release wrt to ‘Reckless'? and ‘Vulnerable Player’. It shows that four out of five criteria were met and Mauvaka’s entry level ban should be in mid to high range, not low.


*Reckless?

“The Committee found that the player had intentionally propelled himself towards S9. The committee did not find that the player had intentionally struck S9 with his head but rather that the player was reckless in that respect.


*Vulnerable position?

“Vulnerability of victim – clause 2.5.89 (i) The player was on the ground and was in a vulnerable position.”

(Telegram: https:// t. me/Pro_ Wizard_ Gilbert_ Recovery)Email (pro wizard gilbert recovery (@) engineer. com)I never imagined I would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam, but that's exactly what happened. My name is [Carmen Beechum, and I invested $500,000 into what | believed was a legitimate trading platform. Everything appeared professional-the website was well-designed, customer service was responsive, and my trading account even showed promising returns.It all seemed too good to be false.However, when I attempted to withdraw my funds, I was met with endless delays and excuses. First, they claimed there were technical issues, then they needed additional verification, and finally, they requested a release fee before processing my withdrawal. Despite complying with their demands, my account was eventually frozen, and all communication from the platform ceased. That's when reality hit me—l had been scammed out of half a million dollars. Desperate to find a way to recover my money, I searched online for solutions. That's when I came across PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a company dedicated to helping victims of online financial fraud. At first, I was skeptical-after all, I had already been deceived once, and the last thing I wanted was to fall for another scam. But after speaking with their team and reviewing their success stories, I decided to take a chance.Their experts immediately got to work, using advanced blockchain forensics and investigative tools to trace my stolen funds. WhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234They identified the fraudulent wallets where my money had been transferred and collaborated with financial institutions and law enforcement agencies to take action. Thanks to their persistence and expertise, they were able to freeze the scammers' accounts and successfully recover my $500,000. What seemed like a devastating loss turned into a remarkable recovery. I am incredibly grateful to PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY for not only retrieving my funds but also restoring my peace of mind. My experience serves as a warning to others-always be cautious with online investments, but if you ever become a victim, know that recovery is possible with the right experts on your side.
