Ronan O'Gara goes big as La Rochelle face Bath side missing England stars

Ronan O’Gara has laid to rest any concerns that he may rest some of his La Rochelle stars for their opening match of the Investec Champions Cup by naming a formidable outfit to run out at Bath’s Rec on Friday.

The two-time European champions have named as strong an XV as possible as they look to reclaim their title having crashed out at the quarter-final stage last season.

Of course, the Top 14 outfit are dealing with injuries, notably France flanker Paul Boudehent, but O’Gara has avoided wholesale changes.

Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan has adopted a similar approach, although he has opted to rest England centre Ollie Lawrence this weekend. Fortunately, such is Bath’s depth, Scotland centre Cameron Redpath will come into the midfield to replace Lawrence.

Bath are already without another England star, Sam Underhill, who sustained an ankle in the first half of England’s victory over Japan in November.

Why NZR's Ineos settlement may be the most important victory they'll enjoy this year

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, Contact ghostchampionwizard[at]gmail,com because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION RECOVERY HACKERS  which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had.

In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via WhatsApp : +44 7383450230 for inquiries.
