With the new Super Rugby Pacific season mere weeks away, the Reds will fly out from Bristol on Friday ahead of matches with Bristol on January 31 and Ulster on February 7. This is important preparation for the Reds, who kick off their season against Moana Pasifika on February 21.

Coach Les Kiss has included 17 Wallabies in the Reds’ touring squad, including club co-captains Tate McDermott and Liam Wright. Jock Campbell, Tom Lynagh, Alex Hodgman, Hunter Paisami and the club’s 2024 Rookie of the Year Tim Ryan have also been named.

There are about 30 days between now and the start of the Reds’ 2025 season at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium against Ardie Savea’s Moana side. Before the 2025 campaign gets underway, coach Kiss is excited about the benefits of taking on “two of Europe’s top clubs.”

“Hats off to the players and staff for getting us ready to take the Reds style to the other side of the world to, first, play Bristol, one of the leading clubs in this season’s English Premiership,” Kiss said in a statement.

“Our second game is an Irish challenge against Ulster. We’re going to experience a tough environment where the Ulster fans are celebrating 100 years of rugby at their Ravenhill home.

“These experiences are what make rugby the game it is. The International Program we have created for Queensland rugby is something we are very keen to continue into the future.

“We see all the upsides of touring together and playing in different conditions against varied opponents as giving us a strong prep for our first game against Moana Pasifika at Suncorp Stadium.”

Bristol is currently second on the English Premiership ladder with 35 competition points, while Bath sits in pole position with 41 after 10 matches so far. Saracens and Leicester round out the top four at the time of writing.

The Bears started their season with a clinical 24-3 win over Newcastle before going down swinging 44-41 to Gloucester. They’ve since beaten Bath, Exeter, Northampton, Harlequins and Leicester – a record of six wins and four losses to date.

As for Ulster, the Irish side is midtable in the United Rugby Championship with four wins from their nine matches. With wins over defending champions Glasgow Warriors, Connacht (twice) and Ospreys, they’ll no doubt prove to be a tough test for the Reds early next month.

“Our players are absolutely pumped to go on this tour. It’s also a great opportunity for our staff who rarely get this experience,” Kiss added.

“For Tom (Lynagh) and Harry (McLaughlin-Phillips), it’s a chance to build their knowledge on how the game can be run a different way in different conditions.

“For young forwards like John Bryant and Joe Bryant and Joe Brial, it’s an opportunity to see the way backrowers player the game up in the UK.

“There is strong development possible for all our players and the Reds as a team.”

Might get a bit of game time too, I assume they've only recently joined the squad for pre season so they'd need to go along with the team otherwise theyred be really underdone.


I read in the Sydney Herald theyre looking at getting some ex Super Rugby/Wallaby players back for each teams July build up for their Lions fixtures. Who could Queensland add to their squad, Cooper, O'Connor, Kerevi, Marika? Guess it depends who which Wallabies they think are likely to be kept out of that QL fixture?

I enrolled in an online professional certification program for program development, which I believed would enhance my career prospects. After researching the program thoroughly, I paid a  fee of $7,300 USD, confident that the certification would be a legitimate asset to my resume. However, after completing the course and attempting to use the credentials in my job search, I quickly realized that the certification was nothing more than a scam. The company behind the program had falsified its credentials and provided no actual value. They offered a polished website, convincing sales pitches, and promises of job opportunities, but once I began digging deeper, I found numerous complaints online from others who had been scammed in the same way. Unfortunately, the organization was not just unprofessional, but fraudulent, offering no real support or resources to help with career advancement, leaving me feeling deceived and frustrated. Desperate to recover my hard-earned money, I began researching ways to hold the company accountable and retrieve my funds. It was then that I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a team that specializes in tracing fraudulent organizations and helping victims reclaim their money. After contacting them, I was relieved to find a team of dedicated professionals who understood the intricacies of recovering funds from such scams. They meticulously traced the fraudulent organization and its activities, gathering the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Within weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery was able to successfully recover my $7,300 USD. The entire process was seamless, and I was kept informed every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail were invaluable in navigating the complex world of online fraud and scams. Not only did I get my money back, but I also gained peace of mind, knowing that the scammers were being held accountable for their actions. As a resident of Dallas, I am grateful to have found such a reliable service in a time of need. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their commitment to helping victims of fraud are unmatched, and they offer a sense of security in the face of what could otherwise be a daunting experience.

Hurricanes vs Waratahs takes: The yellow wall in midfield, Tahs backs outshined

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

I’m a musician, and not long ago, I was scammed out of $12,000 by a fake music streaming service called Streamify Pro. It’s a story I never thought would happen to me, but it did, and I feel it’s important to share it, especially for other artists in the music industry who might be vulnerable to the same scam. I got an email from what seemed like a legitimate music streaming platform, offering me an opportunity to get my music on a huge new service. They promised high visibility, global exposure, and the chance to generate more revenue from streams. It seemed like a dream come true for an independent musician like me, who is always looking for ways to grow my audience. The email looked official, and they even provided testimonials from artists who’d “made it big” by using their service. They had a polished website with all the right buzzwords, making everything look very convincing. They also gave me a “special deal” on their package, offering me placement on their platform for a fee of $12,000. It was a hefty amount, but I thought it was worth the investment, considering the exposure they promised. I transferred the money, but soon after, things started to feel off. My music was never uploaded to their platform. They stopped responding to my emails, and the phone number they gave me went straight to voicemail. I tried to do some research and found that there were no actual reviews or artists talking about the service online. It hit me hard—I had just lost $12,000.That’s when I reached out to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST. I was feeling desperate and didn’t know what else to do. They were incredibly responsive and understood exactly what I was going through. They launched an investigation into the scam and worked tirelessly to recover the full amount that I had lost. To my amazement, they were able to recover 100% of the $12,000 I had been scammed out of. Since then, I’ve been recommending ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST to other musicians. They did what seemed impossible, and their service was absolutely worth it. If you’re a musician or anyone in the creative industry, be cautious about these types of scams. I learned the hard way, but thanks to ASSET RESCUES SPECIALIST, I got all of my money back.DM FOR MORE DETAILS:mail: assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice.comWhatsApp:+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3.support@assetrescuespecialist.com.
