Report: Montpellier to sign Wallaby Paenga-Amosa to fill Springbok void

Montpellier Herault look set to wield their considerable financial clout in the transfer markets with reports that they are to fill a Bismarck du Plessis shaped void in the team with a like for like replacement. Midi Olympique report that MHR have agreed terms with Wallaby hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa and that the Australian will join the club on a two-year deal.

With 9 caps to his name, the soon to be 25-year-old hooker is signed with the Queensland Reds until 2021. Standing 6 foot and weighing 117kg, Paenga-Amosa cuts an imposing figure, one suited to the forward-centric rigours of the Top 14.

A former bin-man in Sydney, the front-rower rose from the ranks of the Shute Shield to the Wallabies after some standout performances for Brad Thorn’s Reds. Born in Auckland, Paenga-Amosa moved to Australia where he grew up playing rugby league, before leaving the Canterbury Bulldogs’ junior system at 15 to pursue a career in union.

Why Nigel Owens is such a good ref:

He will replace Springbok legend Bismarck du Plessis at MHR, with the 37-year-old South African expected to retire at the end of the current season.

Montpellier don’t appear to be dampening down their recruitment, despite investigations into whether or not they were compliment with the LNR salary cap protocols.

MHR were fined €3 million, but face no further sanctions, after coming to an agreement with the LNR earlier this year. The club had been accused of irregularities during the 2018/19, following an expose by L’Equippe and RMC. The LNR stated that the “parties are pleased that an amicable solution has been found and that it allows us to work in the future in a peaceful atmosphere.”

The accusation revolved around the signing of South African flyhalf Johan Goosen, and a number of other top players. A report had suggested that money paid sums to Goosen and other players via a shell company in South Africa, so that the majority of their salaries would not be counted towards the salary cap.

SECURE YOUR LOST INVESTMENTS- TRUST ONLINE CRYPTO RECOVERY SOLUTION

After months of meticulous research, I cautiously invested $188,000 into a binary options platform that promised steady returns. At the time, I was living in California, a place where I’d worked tirelessly to build my life and savings. For weeks, I monitored my account, reassured by the platform’s professional interface and seemingly legitimate operations. Encouraged by initial gains, I grew optimistic until the day I attempted my first withdrawal. The transaction stalled, and panic surged as I realized my funds were trapped. I immediately contacted customer support via every channel listed: emails went unanswered, calls rang endlessly, and live chat options mysteriously vanished. Days turned into weeks, my anxiety deepening with each ignored plea. Then, an unsettling email arrived: to “unlock” withdrawals, I was told to deposit an additional $50,000. The demand felt predatory, a glaring red flag. Refusing to comply, I confronted the grim truth—I’d been ensnared in an elaborate scam. The aftermath was crushing. Nights were sleepless, my mind racing with regret and anger. I replayed every decision, tormented by the loss of hard-earned savings meant to secure my family’s future. Friends urged me to accept the loss, but resignation felt like surrender. Months later, while scouring online forums for solutions, I stumbled upon a thread praising Crypto Recovery Solution. Skeptical yet desperate, I devoured countless testimonials stories mirroring my own, with endings I scarcely dared to believe. With trembling resolve, I reached out. Their team responded within hours, radiating empathy. They requested transaction records, communication logs, and platform details, guiding me through each step with clarity. Though doubts lingered, their transparency stood in stark contrast to the shadowy operators who’d stolen my trust. Then, the impossible happened: 32 hours later, I received confirmation that my entire $188,000 had been recovered. Tears of relief blurred my screen as I verified the funds in my account. Crypto Recovery Solution hadn’t just restored my savings, they'd restored my faith in justice. This ordeal taught me harsh lessons about vigilance in the digital age. Yet it also revealed the power of resilience and the critical importance of seeking help. To anyone trapped in the nightmare of financial fraud, I urge you: act swiftly, document everything, and trust in experts like Crypto Recovery Solution. They are beacons of hope in an increasingly complex world, turning despair into redemption when it matters most.
