“It is with regret we share that our Round 3 Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against Exeter Chiefs scheduled for Wednesday 29 December at the Rec cannot go ahead safely,” read a statement on bathrugby.com.

    “We have worked hard to find a solution, including sourcing additional players; however, a combination of Covid-related player absences and existing injuries means an insufficient number of front row forwards are available to fulfil a matchday 23.

    “Furthermore, there is not enough time to add any further players to our squad who we can be confident are Covid free, and with a Gallagher Premiership fixture scheduled within the next seven days, the safety of our wider squad and staff must be paramount.

    “Therefore, our fixture has been cancelled. Premiership Rugby will determine the points allocation for this fixture over the coming days in line with the Premiership Rugby Cup regulations.

    “Our Gallagher Premiership game against London Irish on Monday 3 January remains unaffected.”

    A Premiership Rugby spokesperson said: “Our priority is the health and safety of everyone involved with Bath Rugby and Exeter Chiefs and we will give the clubs any support they need. We wish everyone affected a full and speedy recovery.

    “Neither Premiership Rugby nor the club will be naming any of the players or staff involved and we’d ask everyone to respect their privacy.”

    'Individuals are stepping up': Vern Cotter on Beauden Barrett's influence

    It started as an ordinary Tuesday. I was checking my Bybit portfolio when an email popped up that looked like a legitimate alert from the exchange, warning of suspicious activity. Without thinking, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. The moment I hit submit, a sinking feeling hit me. Within minutes, my Bitcoin wallet was completely drained.Losing 3.2 BTC, worth nearly $200,000 at the time, wasn’t just a financial blow. It felt like a personal violation. I couldn’t believe I had fallen for a phishing scam. I spent days digging through forums, contacting Bybit support, and even filing a police report. But the responses were disheartening and repetitive. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Scam victims rarely recover their funds. The helplessness was crushing.I barely slept. I kept replaying that moment over and over in my head. Why did I click the link? Why didn’t I double-check? The guilt and frustration consumed me. Friends tried to be supportive, but most didn’t understand the emotional and financial weight of what had happened. I had always been cautious with security. Yet in one distracted moment, everything disappeared.Weeks later, while scrolling through Reddit threads on crypto scams, I stumbled upon several mentions of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . At first, I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. But the testimonials felt genuine, and I was desperate. I decided to reach out.Their response was fast, professional, and surprisingly empathetic. They didn’t promise miracles. Instead, they explained their method: tracing blockchain transactions, identifying potential exchange cash-outs, and working with legal and crypto entities to freeze and recover funds.I sent them everything I had wallet addresses, transaction records, screenshots and waited. Just a few days later, I received an email that left me speechless. They had successfully traced and recovered all of my stolen Bitcoin.I couldn’t believe it. After being told repeatedly that the funds were gone forever, here they were, back in my wallet. It felt like waking up from a nightmare. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn’t just help me get my money back. They restored my sense of security, my trust, and my peace of mind.I share my story now in case someone else out there is feeling the same panic and hopelessness I once felt. There is help. And sometimes, there is even a second chance.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

    Hope Rogers: Owning the 'best loosehead in the world’ ambition

    Malware attack, those two words turned my life upside down. In just minutes, 40 ETH vanished from my crypto wallet, stolen by an attacker who used advanced tactics to cover their tracks. I was in shock. Years of savings, gone in an instant. I contacted several well-known cybersecurity and blockchain forensics firms, hoping someone could help. But each one gave me the same grim answer: “Sorry, it’s untraceable.” It felt like the end of the road until I found (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT). Unlike the others, (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) didn’t brush me off or offer false hope. Instead, they calmly explained their approach: deep blockchain analytics, behavioral wallet tracking, and a few proprietary techniques they’ve developed from years of experience in the field. They weren’t just talking, they meant business.Within days, they began tracking the stolen ETH across a complex web of transactions. The attacker had used mixers, layered wallets, and decentralized exchanges, trying to erase their digital footprints. But (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) followed the flow, detecting patterns and linking wallets through subtle behaviors that most firms overlook. Their team’s understanding of the blockchain's transparent yet intricate nature was nothing short of incredible. Through tireless investigation and real-time tracking, (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) managed to recover 39 ETH. That’s right out of the 40 ETH that was stolen, they got back 39. I couldn’t believe it. After being told over and over that my funds were gone forever, (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) brought them back.What impressed me just as much as the recovery itself was their professionalism. They communicated clearly throughout the process, providing updates, timelines, and even helping me understand how the malware worked and how to secure my assets going forward. It wasn’t just a recovery it was an education.(TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) isn’t just another name in the industry. They are in a league of their own when it comes to blockchain forensics and crypto asset recovery. for Assistance support team is available Website (https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/) (E m a i l : info@Trustgeekshackexpert. c o m) (TeleGram: Trustgeekshackexpert)

    Why former All Black believes the Wallabies will beat the B&I Lions

    “Should’ve won 2-0” like they didn’t snatch their only win at the death of the game. I’d also like to emphasise Ireland were ending their season in SA, and so had oppurtunity to blood new players and create new systems. SA hadn’t played together since the RWC Final.


    This Australian team is a lot better than what the rankings, and last years results, show. I love stats, and I love rankings, but honestly this Australian team is better than Scotland and England. I’m gonna go ahead and do a theoretical ranking of each player group in the top 10 just to prove a point.


    Front Row

    1. NZ

    2. SA

    3. France

    4. Argentina

    5. England

    6. Ireland

    7. Australia

    8. Scotland

    9. Fiji

    10. Italy


    Second Row

    1. SA

    2. NZ

    3. France

    4. Ireland

    5. Australia

    6. England

    7. Argentina

    8. Scotland

    9. Italy

    10. Fiji


    Back Row

    1. Australia

    2. NZ

    3. Ireland

    4. SA

    5. England

    6. France

    7. Italy

    8. Argentina

    9. Fiji

    10. Scotland


    Halfback

    1. NZ

    2. France

    3. Ireland

    4. SA

    5. Australia

    6. Argentina

    7. England

    8. Fiji

    9. Scotland

    10. Italy


    Flyhalf

    1. SA

    2. Scotland (Finn Russell is incredible)

    3. NZ

    4. France

    5. Argentina

    6. Ireland

    7. England

    8. Australia

    9. Fiji

    10. Italy


    Centre

    1. SA

    2. Ireland

    3. Argentina

    4. Australia

    5. France

    6. Scotland

    7. NZ

    8. Fiji

    9. England

    10. Italy


    Outside Back

    1. NZ

    2. France

    3. Australia

    4. SA

    5. Argentina

    6. Fiji

    7. Scotland

    8. Ireland

    9. England

    10. Italy


    Total

    NZ = 17

    SA = 17

    France = 25

    Ireland = 32

    Australia = 33

    Argentina = 38

    England = 48

    Scotland = 50

    Fiji = 59

    Italy = 66


    You can go ahead and point out anything you think is wrong, and I will have an intellectual argument about it. But my ranking reflects the world rankings while keeping my own opinions and truths valid, like Australia being slightly better than Argentina, England, and Scotland, and only slightly worse than this current Irish outfit.
