Wasps greats show support for ex-star now working for the NHS

(Photo by David Rogers/Getty Images)

Some of Wasps’ greatest players have shown their support for ex-flanker Tom Rees, who now works as a doctor. The 35-year-old was once tipped to be an England captain but was forced to retire from the game in 2012 at the age of 27 due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Upon retirement, Rees pursued a career in medicine at Imperial College London and now works at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. 

With Britain showing its support for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic, some Wasps legends – from Lawrence Dallaglio and Raphael Ibanez to Trevor Leota – have also passed on messages to their former team-mate, thanking the ex-openside for his work.

RugbyPass tells the inspirational story of Leicester’s Matt Hampson

RugbyPass has followed the incredible story of ex-professional rugby player Matt Hampson, who was paralysed from the neck down following a scrummaging accident while training with the England U21s in March 2005. 
In the latest documentary in our Exceptional Stories series, we learn about the 35-year-old prop’s incredible journey since his devastating injury 15 years ago at Franklin’s Gardens.
Featuring contributions from a host of rugby legends such as Jonny Wilkinson and Jason Robinson, as well as actor James Corden, the compelling narrative culminates in a behind-the-scenes visit to the Matt Hampson Foundation’s Get Busy Living Centre in Melton Mowbray where the ex-Leicester Tigers front row now helps others who suffer life-changing injuries in sport.

Rees made his debut for Wasps in 2003 and went on to play 113 games for them during his career. He also served as club captain between 2009-11 and earned 15 England caps, making his debut in 2007 and representing his country at the World Cup that same year. 

Years of injuries, including multiple shoulder operations, meant he earned his last cap in 2008 against the All Blacks, and it ultimately culminated in his retirement.

A starter in the victorious 2007 Heineken Cup and 2008 Premiership finals, Rees’ rugby career was cruelly cut short, but he has now received fond recognition for what he is doing after hanging up his boots.

Crusaders name rookie loose forward to start against the Highlanders

Saifoloi will add some much needed threat to the Crusaders attack, this could be just the right timing to catch other teams out like how the Chiefs did with Sititi last year.


Just what the Highlanders didn’t need from Penney as this, and most others, become must win games for their playoff spot.

'Haves and have nots': The Six Nations numbers reveal hidden truths

Lots of great stats Nick. Is the report available to the public?


My World Cup preview had Ireland and Scotland’s golden generation with their best chances, France and Italy's too inexperienced and Wales and England between generations.


England is starting to look good but you'd have to say that France have a lot of top players coming into their peak.


I'd have expected a better accumulation of caps since then though for their young 2023 players and I'm not sure that the ten month club season is conducive to their players being fit and firing for the big event.

Bryan Habana: 'I don't think Louis is faster than me'

Kolbe isn’t a special wing. He’s a special rugby player.


Habana was a special wing. You don’t play 124 tests and score 67 tries for a top tier nation unless you’re something extraordinary.

'Not real Lions': How the 1989 British and Irish tourists put Australia on the map

Excellent service provided by KeycheinX Cryptocurrency recovery in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend! Great thanks!

Im speechless.. I was turned down by Joe Grand and felt a sense of hopelessness in ever recovering my lost BTC. By chance, I stumbled upon Peter at Keychein and thought to myself "what do I have to lose".. Truth be told, the service was the MOST pain free experience I've ever received from any type of service. They were quick, responsive, and transparent. I owe them business for life.

“that Waratahs 10”. Yes, JWH, he is coming up fast from the pack. Always thought he had promise when with Qld., and he has done no harm to his prospects in his first year back in his home state.

Great point . Thing is I could not care less who the Chiefs or other NZ teams pick week to week.But they love commenting on who the Crusaders pick, inevitably from a negative angle. The old saying of just worry about your own back yard does not apply to them.

Crusaders impact could put veteran O’Connor in Wallabies mix for Lions

Thanks for the article Brett. Interesting topic for us to debate. James O’Connor would be my pick for being the most exciting back, maybe even could say the greatest, that I have seen emerge in my time living in Australia, now close to 40 years.


One of those interesting players, who could have played for any of the WB’s, AB’s, or Bok’s. And along with David Pocock, he was developed by the W. Force, after both were schooled in Brisbane. And both could have played for the Boks….just ponder on that one !


It was so sad to see him go off the rails, and waste some of his best years, lost to the WB’s. But the story does have this great ending. Thrown a lifeline by Sale Sharks in England, where he took his chances and worked hard, and was a good team player, by all accounts highly valued. Then coming back to the the state of his birth, and playing for the Qld. Reds. There is no doubt in my mind that he has been a big element in the Reds becoming a much better side during his time with them. And now what is probably the last chapter, playing for one of the great rugby teams, the Crusaders.


My view would be that James O’Connor would be a wonderful member of Joe Schmidt’s broader squad, preparing to take on the the B&I Lions. He just looks, from where we stand as observers, to be one of those players one loves to train and play with. He is so multi talented, and who knows, given the cruel hand of injuries, and the vagaries of form, James O’Connor my one last time run out onto the pitch to stand and sing “Advance Australia Fair”. I for one hope he does !

My wife and I lost $313,000 Btc to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform A few months Ago, We had made an investment with an online broker who pretended to work with an investment Firm that helped traders and he literally promised huge profits who at the end scammed us and wasn’t even responding to our messages. This really hit us hard to a point my wife had suicidal thoughts. Fortunately for us,An old family friend who previously worked with my wife Referred us to this Recovery Masters. As they refer to themselves,They checked on our case and assured us our funds were recoverable.Their services and responses were professional and satisfying. They were able to recover $273,500 Btc We really appreciated them for their help, although not all the funds were recovered. Incase you need their services,

Former England star leads Benetton to huge URC result over Lions

I found myself constantly looking for ways to make the money stretch. That’s when I came across an investment scheme that promised massive returns anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000, or even up to $500,000 on a $5,000 investment. Desperate to secure a better future for my son, I decided to take a risk, believing that this could be the breakthrough I so desperately needed.I invested the $5,000, hoping that the promised returns would help me pay my bills, buy necessities for my child, and alleviate some of the weight of my situation. But, as it turned out, the entire scheme was a scam. The money I invested disappeared, and I had no way of recovering it. I was crushed. What started as a simple hope for a better future turned into a nightmare. My financial situation went from bad to worse, and I found myself drowning in despair. I was completely helpless, and I felt like I had failed my son. It was then that my family stepped in to support me, offering both emotional and practical help during this incredibly tough time. They helped me connect with a company called Rapid Digital Recovery, a firm that specializes in recovering lost or hidden assets. I was skeptical at first, but I was willing to try anything to get back what I had lost. The team at Rapid Digital Recovery worked tirelessly on my case, and after some time, they successfully recovered 99% of my investment. Although I didn’t recover everything, the 99% recovery was a huge relief. The support from my family, combined with the efforts of Rapid Digital Recovery, gave me hope once again. I learned a hard lesson about trusting too easily but also discovered the importance of seeking help when things feel hopeless. My son and I are still rebuilding, but I’m determined to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges that lie ahead.

The defining moment that will 'raise massive question marks' for Ireland

Recovered $720,000 USDT Lost to Hyper Verse Scam:

I fell victim to the Hyper Verse Ponzi Scheme and lost a staggering $720,000 in USDT. Like many other investors, I was drawn in by promises of high daily returns and the vision of a revolutionary metaverse platform. It all seemed innovative and convincing until the truth came to light. Hyper Verse was a massive scam that defrauded investors worldwide of nearly $1.89 billion.

I felt completely hopeless until I found the ICC Cyber Team.

They reviewed my case, built a solid recovery plan, and supported me through every step. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I recovered my lost funds.

If you or someone you know has been affected by a scam like Hyper Verse, I highly recommend contacting ICC Cyber Team. Their work truly changed my life, and they gave me a second chance I never thought possible.

Rob Leota joins growing list of Wallaby back rows heading north

Two years ago, there were a lot of boks in top14. A lot of them were not very involved for their clubs. Today there is only Cobus Reinach who have allways deserved his money. Next month ,he will go back in SA. But I think the reason of the lack of current boks in France is not the involvment of players but the fact that they are not available half of the year.
