The Western Force have added depth to their backline by signing former Queensland Reds No.10 Jake McIntyre on a two-year deal.

McIntyre was the top scorer for French top-flight outfit Sporting Union Agenais during his two seasons there before a move to Clermont, and returns to Australia after a three-year stint in Europe.

The former Australian Schoolboys and Australian U20 representative began his professional career with the Queensland Reds, where he scored more than 100 points from 2015-2017.

The 26-year-old joins the likes of Kyle Godwin, Richard Kahui, Jono Lance, Marcel Brache, and Ian Prior in the Force’s backline.

“For me it was a no-brainer to join the Force,” McIntyre said.

“I share the ambition the club has shown, and I want to grow with the club to achieve success.

“After talking with players like Brad Lacey, there’s obviously a very strong rugby community in WA, which I can’t wait to contribute to and be a part of.

“It’s rare you find a place where players only have positive things to say, so I think that speaks volumes for the family culture at the club.”

Meanwhile, the Melbourne Rebels have re-signed Australian Sevens stars Lewis Holland and Lachlan Anderson.

The pair joined the Rebels prior to the start of the Super Rugby AU season following the postponement of the 2020 Sevens World Series and Olympic Games in Tokyo.

They will play out the 2021 Super Rugby AU season with the Rebels before linking up with the Sevens squad in time for next year’s Olympics.

“We’ve seen how successful the Springbok Sevens players have been in South Africa’s domestic Super Rugby competition and I know both of these guys can do the same for us,” Rebels coach Dave Wessels said.

“They’re great athletes and both pretty tough individuals.”

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
