Rugby officials in France have organised a tribute for the missing Medhi Narjissi, the Toulouse apprentice who was swept away into the sea off the Cape of Good Hope. The 17-year-old, a son of former Agen hooker Djalil Narjissi, was in South Africa as part of the French U18 team for the International Series.

Professional rugby is set to return for the 2024/25 season in the coming weeks, with Nationale 1 starting on August 23, Pro D2 on August 29 and then the Top 14 on September 7. A minute of applause will be held at all matches in honour of Narjissi.

A statement read: “In agreement with the family of Medhi Narjissi, the French Rugby Federation and the Ligue Nationale de Rugby have decided to pay tribute to the young player from Stade Toulousain and of the French men’s U18 team, who tragically disappeared on August 7 in South Africa.

      “A minute of applause in honor of Medhi will be organised in the stands and at all grounds in France at each of the first matches of all categories of this 2024/2025 season. In this moment of collective union and contemplation, French rugby would like to salute, with strength and the deepest respect, the memory of one of its great hopes.”

      It was last week when the FFR released its first conclusions following the internal investigation it launched into the disappearance of Narjissi. “Following the latest trip of the national men’s U18 team to South Africa, the French Rugby Federation have decided to temporarily suspend all supervision missions for all staff.

      “This decision, taken until further notice, comes pending the final conclusions of the internal investigation that the FFR immediately launched following the tragic disappearance, on August 7, of the young player Medhi Narjissi, swept away by a wave and the current off the Cape of Good Hope.

      “The first elements collected on site by a member of the national technical management confirm that the site chosen for a player recovery session presented dangers. This is an error of judgment that could constitute individual and/or collective fault. The final conclusions of our investigation will make it possible to determine responsibilities.

      “As it has undertaken, the French Rugby Federation remain determined to shed full light on the precise circumstances of the tragedy. To date, the entire staff has been interviewed. The FFR is now preparing to question players from the U18 team, with all the precautions required by the psychological shock they have suffered.

      “The French Rugby Federation have also communicated the initial information it has to the Ministry of Sports, which is responsible for two government officials present on the FFR staff in South Africa, so that the latter can make an appropriate decision.”

      Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

      As a devoted father of two, my primary concern has always been the safety and well-being of my family. This commitment to my family's security was put to the test on February 6, 2025, when I embarked on a quest to find a trustworthy home security system that could offer us the protection we needed. After conducting some research online, I stumbled upon a security company that seemed promising, and I took the initiative to reach out through their messaging platform. Hours later, my phone rang, and I was greeted by a representative claiming to be from a well-known home security company. They were reaching out to inform me about a special promotional offer, which immediately piqued my interest. However, as the promised week came and went without so much as a peep from the company, my feelings of unease began to escalate. I attempted to contact the company again to inquire about the delay, only to find that the number I had called was suddenly disconnected. It was at that moment—when the reality of the situation hit me—that I understood I had fallen victim to a scam. The devastation that followed was profound; losing $40,000 was not merely a financial setback but a personal failure in my eyes—an inability to safeguard my family's future. The experience left me feeling vulnerable, exposed, and utterly defeated. Determined to reclaim my lost resources, I knew that swift action was essential. I turned to the internet for help and began researching options for recovering my funds. During this search, I came across BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, a company with a track record of assisting individuals who had encountered similar unfortunate situations. Intrigued by the success stories of people who had benefited from their services, I made the decision to reach out to them. From the moment I contacted BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was met with professionalism and empathy. Their team was understanding of my plight and remained reassuring throughout the process. They immediately set to work on investigating the fraudulent transaction and kept me informed at every step, alleviating some of the anxiety that had consumed me since the incident.Thanks to their diligence, expertise, and unwavering commitment, BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was eventually able to recover an astounding $35,800 of the $40,000 I had lost. The relief I felt was immeasurable; it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only did they help restore my finances, but they also provided me with something

      invaluable—peace of mind.Their contact info is listed below.

      GrayHat Hacks Contractor Reclaimed My BTC in Hours

      Mid last year, I thought I had stumbled upon a golden opportunity when I joined an online investment group promising substantial returns through rare NFTs. I was thrilled to invest my 1.5 BTC, valued at approximately $90,000 at the time, toward a significant venture. The group’s website appeared polished, featuring impressive testimonials and a “secure escrow” system for transactions. Confident in their credibility, I transferred my BTC to their designated wallet, anticipating the delivery of a valuable NFT. However, days stretched into weeks with only vague excuses, and then the site disappeared entirely. My wallet was empty, and the realization hit me hard: I had been duped by a sophisticated scam, losing the savings I had earmarked for my dream music studio.

      In a state of panic and despair, I searched online for solutions and discovered GrayHat Hacks. Their team responded promptly. They outlined their approach, explaining that they would employ blockchain forensics to track my BTC, despite the scammers’ use of a mixing service to obscure the trail. Their team meticulously analyzed the transaction ledger, utilizing advanced algorithms to group wallets and detect patterns. After several hours of diligent effort, they successfully retrieved my BTC. Their transparency throughout the process was reassuring.

      That 1.5 BTC represents more than just currency; it’s the foundation of my music studio vision, and GrayHat Hacks restored it when I had nearly lost all hope. For anyone caught up in a dubious investment scheme, they offer an invaluable service. Their expertise in blockchain technology, paired with genuine client support, sets them apart.
