Fissler Confidential: Ireland international is Premiership bound

Kieran Treadwell, the Surrey-born former Ireland international lock, could return to the Gallagher Premiership to rejoin his former club Harlequins when his contract with Ulster runs out at the end of the season. The 29-year-old spent two years at The Stoop between 2014 and 2016, making six appearances before crossing the Irish Sea, where, thanks to his Irish-born mother, he has won 11 Test caps.

He won his last cap of the bench against England in the 2023 Guinness Six Nations and has played 169 games for Ulster, including nine this season which is looking like being his last with the United Rugby Championship outfit.

Sale Sharks have agreed terms on a new contract with rising England front row star Asher Opoku-Fordjour that will keep him in the North-West for at least the next three years. The Coventry-born 20-year-old spent time with Worcester Warriors and Wasps before moving to Sale in November 2022 when the former Premiership and European champions went out of business.

    The challenge of competing in the Investec Champions Cup | RPTV

    Gary Gold shares his thoughts on how to balance URC and Champions Cup duties. Watch the full episode of Boks Office now on RugbyPass TV

    He has been a regular at tighthead for the Sharks this season and can also play loosehead. He made his England debut against Japan in the Autumn Nations Series and is tipped to feature in Steve Borthwick’s 2025 Six Nations plans.

    Lee Barron is set to join Leinster teammate Michael Milne in making the switch to Munster when his contract with the URC pace-setters runs out at the end of the season. RugbyPass exclusively broke the news on Friday afternoon that Milne was close to making the switch. It has since been reported in Ireland that the 23-year-old Barron will be joining him in switching provinces.

    Leinster are well stocked in the hooking department with Dan Sheehan, Ronan Kelleher, John McKee and Gus McCarthy on their books, which has opened the door for Barron to join Milne in moving on.

    Kane Douglas is set to extend his career for at least another year after it emerged that he is close to staying in La Rochelle for next season. The 35-year-old veteran lock arrived at the club last summer and has formed a formidable partnership with another Australian, Will Skelton. According to Midi Olympique, he will be putting pen to paper on an extension.

    The former Wallaby has played in France since joining Bordeaux in 2018 after leaving the Queensland Reds. Earlier in his career, he had spells with Leinster and NSW Waratahs but he is now likely to stay with La Rochelle until he retires.

    Max Malins, who is on the sidelines with an achilles tendon injury that he ruptured in training, could have played his last game for Bristol Bears as he is weighing up a move to France when his contract runs out this summer.

    He joined the Bears on a permanent deal in 2023 after eight years on the books of Saracens, signing off with a try in the Premiership final victory over Sale Sharks. The 28-year-old, who had a loan spell with the Bears after Saracens were relegated to the Championship in 2020, has won 22 England caps but hasn’t featured since the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

    Bath boss Johann van Graan is set to turn to a relatively unknown South African as he looks to continue strengthening his squad for next season, with Bulls scrum-half Bernard van der Linde the latest player in his sights.

    The Pretoria-born 24-year-old has made seven appearances and scored two tries for the URC side against Lyon in the Champions Cup in October 2022. Due to make his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s Champions Cup clash in Castres, he has held talks with van Graan about switching to The Rec when his contract runs out this summer.

    Jonny May, who celebrates his 35th birthday in April, believes fans at his Pro D2 club Soyaux-Angouleme will see the benefits of him having his first Christmas off for 15 years. The former England flyer has only scored one try since arriving in France in the summer, and that came against Brive, but he told Midi Olympique this week that having Christmas and new year off will be like a new beginning.

    “After Christ­mas, I think it will be bet­ter. I also think that I was tired after a very busy sum­mer, between mov­ing and adjust­ing to a new life with my fam­ily,” said May, who has also struggled with a muscle strain and a virus.

    There are fears around Leicester Tigers that head coach Michael Cheika, who replaced fellow countryman Dan McKellar, could depart Welford Road when his contract runs out at the end of the season. Those fears are only going to grow the longer it takes for the club to agree to a new contract, with the clock ticking down on his existing one-year deal.

    Rumours even circulated over Christmas that his name is on the RFU’s shortlist of potential replacements for England boss Borthwick should the axe fall on his head and that he had already been sounded out.

    Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

    As a fitness coach, I’ve always taken pride in guiding and inspiring others not just in health, but in life. So when I came across what seemed like a promising crypto investment opportunity, I believed I was making a smart financial move. I even introduced it to a few of my students, thinking it could benefit them too.But everything came crashing down when I realized it was all a scam. I lost $16,000. The weight of that loss was more than financial, it was emotional. I felt ashamed, devastated, and completely powerless. Nights were sleepless, and the guilt of trusting the wrong people haunted me.In the midst of that dark time, I didn’t stop searching for a solution. And that’s when I stumbled upon Hack Savvy Tech . At first, I was skeptical that I had already been burned once. But something about their professionalism and the stories I read gave me hope.And I’m so glad I trusted them.Hack Savvy Tech didn’t just help me, they rescued me. They recovered every dollar I lost, and more than that, they restored my sense of security and peace of mind. Their team was transparent, understanding, and truly dedicated from start to finish.If you’ve been scammed, I know how hard it is. But don’t lose hope. Hack Savvy Tech is the real deal. They gave me a second chance and they can do the same for you.Telegram @hacksavvytechWebsite: https://hacksavvytechrecovery.comWhatsapp : +79998295038​

    Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

    This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

    I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

    ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
