The 'mature' reason why Springboks named 19-year-old wing Moodie

Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber is backing the Test debut-making Canan Moodie to make his mark when he runs out wearing the No14 shirt against the Wallabies in round four of the Rugby Championship this Saturday in Sydney. The 19-year-old is the fifth different player the Springboks have selected at right wing in sevens matches during 2022 and he gets his chance after it was decided to bench Warrick Gelant, last weekend’s starter in that position.

The Springboks began the year with the first-choice Cheslin Kolbe occupying the role versus Wales in Pretoria. Kurt-Lee Arendse, the 26-year-old from the Bulls, was tasked with getting his debut the following week versus the Welsh in Bloemfontein and after the position reverted to Kolbe for the July series decider in Cape Town, it was thought that the 2019 World Cup winner would keep hold of the jersey for the Rugby Championship.

That, however, hasn’t been the case as Kolbe’s fractured jaw in the series-clinching win over Wales instead sparked a Championship merry-go-round with the jersey. Arendse was named against the All Blacks in Mbombela but he was red-carded and suspended following his collision with the airborne Beauden Barrett.

This resulted in Jesse Kriel being named at No14 for the rematch in Johannesburg but his appearance was quickly cut short by a concussion. The next man up was Gelant, who was chosen to start versus the Wallabies in Adelaide, and now it will be the turn of Moodie to start at right wing after he was named as one of eight changes to the Springboks team for this weekend’s round four Championship game.

Aside from being a Test level rookie, he is a club professional rookie as well as he has only made 18 appearances for the Bulls so far, 14 in the URC and another four in the Currie Cup. He caught the eye, though, in the Bulls’ famed URC semi-final ambush of Leinster in Dublin in June, scoring in that game to help his team through to the final.

Moodie was called into the Springboks squad on August 8 following the confirmation of the four-game suspension for Arendse and he is now primed for his Test debut less than four weeks later. “We are excited to get him in the mix,” enthused Nienaber over a Microsoft Teams media briefing from Australia after he named his team to take on the Wallabies in Sydney.

“He had an awesome series in the URC and we followed him closely and we are excited to see him put his skill set into a Test match. He has been with us I think a month and we are really happy to see his progress within the team and how comfortable he became in the team.

“He is a very coachable guy. He has obviously got the skills and I’m very excited to see him. When you work with him you won’t say he is a 19-year-old. He is very mature for his age and he has got a good rugby maturity and a good rugby brain on him.”

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.
