Bath rugby director Stuart Hooper will continue in his role when Johann van Graan becomes head coach next season, the club have confirmed. Current head coach Neal Hatley will also be part of van Graan’s team, working with the forwards alongside new defence specialist JP Ferreira and existing lineout coach Luke Charteris.

Van Graan’s group is to be completed by an attack coach, although no appointment has yet been made. Bath have endured a miserable campaign, winning just one of their twelve Gallagher Premiership games and currently propping up the table by an eleven-point margin.

South African van Graan’s appointment to the coaching helm was announced last month. He will leave Munster at the end of this season. Bath chief executive Tarquin McDonald said: “We are pleased to confirm these appointments.

“Under Johann van Graan, Neal Hatley will continue as forwards coach and JP Ferreira will become defence coach after successful stints at the Lions in Johannesburg and Munster in Ireland. Luke Charteris will continue as lineout coach and a new attack coach will be confirmed imminently.

“The current coaching unit will continue in their posts until the end of the 2021/22 season, and the club is grateful for the continuing contributions of David Williams, Mark Lilley and Ryan Davis. Stuart Hooper will continue in his role as Bath director of rugby.”

‘They played for each other’: Jamie Joseph puts trust in his team ahead of Force clash

“I think our players play really good rugby, I’m not sure of the stats, but I think we just made too many errors, really a lot of unforced errors that actually put a lot of pressure on the team,”

Yes a double edged sword, as that is also what makes them so dangerous to the most organized defences.

If they can find the right balance and execute to where theyre not just turning and offloading the ball straight into the oppositions arms, and dealing better with the disadvantage the scrum is, they could push for playing for a spot in the final this year. It really exciting that the Landers may even push past that in the years to come too.

Richie Mo'unga lifts lid on 2027 Rugby World Cup ambitions

Richie was sorely missed last year and probably will again this year but slotting him in next year is a bridge too far. By 2026 we will have sorted out our no.10 issue and he won’t be required because if he is there is something seriously wrong with NZ rugby. However, Richie made his bed and both he and NZ rugby should have made a better deal with the Japanese. Complacency seems to be the culprit from both parties.

Richie Mo'unga lifts lid on 2027 Rugby World Cup ambitions

He was outstanding at the last World Cup. Many great sports people in team games have not won World Cups anyway. Andrew Mehrtens and Justin Marshall were never in World Cup winning teams. Christian Cullen was another. People like you repeatedly say Richie Mo’unga never played well for the All Blacks. That is simply not true.

Richie Mo'unga lifts lid on 2027 Rugby World Cup ambitions

I hope he is great for either Samoa or Tonga at the next world cup. Imagine being the AB 10 who lost 3 world cups. You say brilliant but Im yet to see it and he wins at 72% which is anything but brilliant as aan AB. Leave the man in Japan. Very good at SR level. Cant transfer to test level sadly. I wont miss him at all. Plenty coming thru.

Fissler Confidential: Manie Libbok to exit Stormers?

VERIFIED CRYPTOCURRENCY RESTORATION/FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERY(at)TECH-CENTER. COM

As a designer, I’m always on the lookout for new tools to improve my workflow. So, when I saw an ad on LinkedIn for a “revolutionary” design software, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. The ad promised to streamline my design process with amazing features at an unbeatable price. Without a second thought, I clicked the link and made the purchase. But soon after buying the software, I realized it was a scam. The software never worked as promised, and when I tried to reach out for support, the company vanished without a trace. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless. 5,000 NZD, a significant amount for anyone, especially a freelancer, was gone, and there was no way to get it back… or so I thought. I was at a loss for what to do next. That’s when I discovered FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. At first, I wasn’t sure if they could help. Could anyone actually recover money lost to online scams? But, desperate and with no other options, I decided to reach out. I contacted FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, they explained the process in detail, reassured me that they would do everything in their power to recover my funds, and kept me updated every step of the way. To my amazement, just two days after I reached out, they successfully recovered 4,800 NZD of the 5,000 NZD I had lost. The relief I felt when I saw that money back in my account was indescribable. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Since then, I’ve made it a point to share my experience with other designers in the community. I want to raise awareness about the scams that are out there and remind others to be cautious when browsing for new software. Scammers can target anyone, even professionals like us. But I also want to let fellow designers know that if they do fall victim to fraud, they don’t have to give up. FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY is there to help. Now, I always tell others: Be skeptical of ads that seem too good to be true, especially on platforms like LinkedIn. But if you do get scammed, there’s hope. Don’t hesitate to contact FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERY(at)TECH-CENTER. CO M, (WhatsApp): +1 (740)705-0711. They helped me get my money back in just two days, and they can help you too.

Warm greetings,

Mr. Gilbert Jonathan

New Zealand put some ‘fear back into the black jersey’ at Hong Kong Sevens

Some improvement on past efforts but a long way to go before they are on par with Argentina who are the benchmark now. Lost game against France when they coughed up possession just before halftime and allowed in the try that changed the momentum. Don’t give openings to any opponents.

Crusaders vs Moana Pasifika: New best 10 in Super Rugby contender, Superman Savea

Oh yeah Saders obviously thought they had it won before kickoff but that could have been irrelevant how easily they were beaten.

Interesting how a different 10 and 12 may have effected the function of the side, Moana having clearly won the tactical battle. Like Hotham to have another run though.

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

I live in an unstable region, so I'm always ready for surprise curfews or my aunt dropping by uninvited to borrow some cooking oil. To protect my future from both, I swept $530,000 under the floor in Bitcoin- my emergency parachute.Well, things went downhill. Protesters filled the streets like a rowdy rave, with pepper spray in place of glow sticks. In the chaos, security personnel took my laptop and everything that wasn't bolted down. That's where I store the keys to my Bitcoin wallet. When I say I swallowed a brick, I am not kidding.I pictured myself telling my future self, who lived under a tarp, how I used to have half a million dollars but lost it since I had forgotten to encrypt my drive. "Great job, Past Me," I would be saying while heating canned beans over a candle.But fate, or possibly my guardian angel who was finally done laughing at me, intervened. During a hushed meeting with a journalist friend (we whispered like we were plotting an espionage thriller), he mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. These folks were not just tech geniuses; they practically wore digital capes.I phoned, and the reassuring voice I received was so reassuring, I almost asked them to fix my love life too. They labored in their homes with the frenzy of an explosives specialist defusing a bomb. They constructed my wallet information from recovery fragments I barely remember creating. It was like magic shows where magicians extract bills from a hat, except the hat has been confiscated by the authorities.Thirteen days passed, and I received the call. My money had been returned. I was so relieved that I hugged my aunt, who naturally took the chance to request additional cooking oil.Tech Cyber Force Recovery did not just save my Bitcoin; they saved my future. And they gave me a newfound respect for proper backups and encryption. If you are in a tricky spot or just want to avoid awkward family requests during every political crisis, call them. They are the real deal and possibly part wizard, part therapist.CALL OR WHATSAPP THEM THOUGH+.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7

Waratahs turn to 'tough bugger' for captaincy with more history on the line

I am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished. he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money. Seeking assistance, I discovered RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS. They assessed my circumstances and confirmed my worst fear: I had become a victim of a pig-butchering romance scam. I was disheartened, as I genuinely believed I had found love again following a difficult divorce. Fortunately, RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS specializes in recovering Bitcoin sent to fraudulent or scam wallets. After collaborating with RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS, they successfully recovered my scammed Bitcoin. They are my permanent solution for cybersecurity. I strongly endorse RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS for crypto tracing and recovery.
