England player rating vs Barbarians

England began their summer of rugby in disappointing fashion, losing 21-52 to the Barbarians at Twickenham. England’s embarrassment was compounded when George Kruis backheeled a conversion in his final ever competetive rugby game.

The first half was filled with tries but lacked the attacking impetus which so often typified these tests. In the end it was Will Skelton’s red card for a high tackle which brought the most drama in the first half. The Barbarians were leading at that point and held on to that advantage deep into the second half, demonstrating a resilience expected of an international outfit, not a scratch side.

15. Tommy Freeman – 6.5
You wouldn’t have known Freeman was making his England debut, given the composure he showed when securing deep kicks and running aggressively into traffic. The Saints star helped England score their first, running a tight support line with Smith.

14. Joe Cokanasiga – 5.5
The winger played with a point to prove, chasing down a kick early on, helping secure a turnover. Minutes later he streamed down the right wing, ball grasped in one hand, eating up space in the Barbarians half. While his positioning was found wanting, the Bath starter scored England’s opener.

13. Joe Marchant – 5
Marchant has been a mainstay of the free-flowing Harlequins backline but found it hard to transfer his attacking skills early in the encounter. While he didn’t make the same mistakes as his centre partner, he failed to shine brightly and stake a claim in the England midfield. Jack Nowell replaced Marchant in the 56th minute.

12. Mark Atkinson – 4
England’s new-look midfield did little to wow the Twickenham crowd. Atkinson made up half of that unit but was made to look sub-par by Damian Penaud, first when the winger handed him off and later when the Frenchman intercepted a pass to score the Barbarians’ third.

11. Jonny May – 5
After spending time sidelined by injury, May’s return to test rugby started badly, as the winger received a yellow and conceded a penalty try for intentionally knocking on a pass. May made amends in the second half, finishing smartly in the corner.

10. Marcus Smith – 6
England struggled to string together attacking phases in the face of a dogged Barbarians defence but nonetheless Smith was able to show flashes of his brilliance. Few flyhalfs can produce brilliant amidst chaos but Smith can. His dummy helped set up England’s first try and his expertly delivered miss-pass gave England their second. Midway through the second half he then got a try of his own.

9. Harry Randall –4
Quick ball from the ruck is Randall’s preference but that tactic bit back when the scrum half’s delivery was intercepted by Charles Ollivon who ran the length of the pitch to score. At times he made Smith’s life harder with erratic passes from the base of the ruck. He was replaced by Care early in the second half.

1. Bevan Rodd – 5
The loosehead looked lively around the field, covering ground with ease. But he struggled to impose himself at scrum time early and gave away numerous penalties for engaging prematurely. However, he later showed strength over the ball, winning an impressive turnover.

2. Jack Walker – 5
The debutant did well on his first England outing, bringing a frenetic energy to the front row which is seldom seen at this level of competition. He did look unnerved in the scrum but remained composed in defence. He was replaced by Jack Singleton in the 56th minute.

3. Will Collier – 4
Collier’s third England cap was largely uneventful, with the Harlequins prop struggling to impose himself against a large Barbarians pack. He was then surprisingly brought off in the 28th minute and replaced by Patrick Schickerling, but returned after the debutant was concussed.

4. Charlie Ewels – 4
Ewels has become a consistent feature in Eddie Jones’ England but struggled to do much to state a claim for a starting role in Australia.

5. Jonny Hill – 4
Hill’s return to the England setup was mixed in its outcome. An impressive line break was tempered by inconsistency at the lineout. The game’s stop-start nature did little to help Hill showcase his skills to Jones once more. Late in the day Hill also dropped a ball over the line to squander a try opportunity.

6. Tom Curry – 5
The captain for the day was uncharacteristically quiet both in the tackle and over the ball. At times Curry looked off the pace and made a few handling errors on his way, leading England in rather subdued fashion.

7. Sam Underhill – 5.5
The lack of flow in the contest did not help Underhill at the start. Although he looked imperious over the ball, with the Barbarians struggling to string together attacking phases, Underhill was unable to showcase his phenomenal tackle technique. He was replaced by Courtney Lawes in the 56th minute.

8. Calum Chick – 5
Came into the starting lineup as a late notice replacement for Alex Dombrandt. Chick carried powerfully but did little to put his name above the man who he replaced. In the tackle he appeared confident but lacked the x factor or Simmonds or Dombrandt. Was replaced by Willis early in the second half.

Replacements:

16. Jack Singleton – 5
Came on for Jack Walker in the 56th minute. Showed physicality in carries.

17. Will Goodrick-Clarke – 5
Came on for Collier as a tighthead, rather than his favoured loosehead.

18. Patrick Schickerling – 5
Schickerling made his international debut earlier than expected, replacing Collier on the 28th minute mark. Before the close of the half he was shouldered in the head by Will Skelton and permanently removed from the field.

19. Courtney Lawes – 5.5
Showed his worth when he came on for Underhill, hitting the rucks hard.

20. Jack Willis – 5
Came on in the 44th minute for Chick and instantly injected some pace to the attack.

21. Danny Care – 5
Danny Care made his long-overdue return to international rugby on the 44th minute to jubilated applause. However, he was responsible for defensive miscommunication which led to the Barbarians scoring almost instantly. He recovered, speeding up the England attacking phase play, transforming the look of Jones’ side.

22. Orlando Bailey – 4
Came on late in the game and had little time to make an impact.

23. Jack Nowell – 5.5
Nowell’s return to international rugby came in the 56th minute for Marchant, filling outside centre. He was sharp and carried powerfully, quickly becoming a pivotal figure in the England attack.

Rodd was not penalised for early engagement but for being unable to withstand the downward pressure from his opponent and thus collapsing. He needs to bind much higher, on his opponents back so as to not present a downward facing elbow. That said the England front 5 were outclassed all over the park, so defeat inevitable.

SURVIVING THE BYBIT HACK HOW CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT SECURE MY ASSETS


It was the kind of morning that left my heart pounding in my chest. My phone buzzed with a series of alerts—emails, messages, all talking about one thing: Bybit had been hacked. North Korean hackers had breached the exchange, and the total losses were over 1.5 billion dollars in cryptocurrency, Ethereum to be precise. My stomach churned as I read, realizing I was one of the many affected. I had been an avid Ethereum investor, with a substantial amount of my savings tied up in the coin. The idea of losing it all was unbearable. But panic was no help, so I immediately began searching for solutions. That’s when I stumbled across a company that specialized in crypto recovery and securing your asset, CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT. Their website promised to assist with situations just like mine. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out, hoping for a miracle. To my surprise, a representative called me within minutes. They explained that they had experience securing wallets from compromised exchanges and securing coins during massive hacks like the Bybit breach. After a brief consultation, they assured me they could secure my Ethereum by implementing a stronger security system that would block any unauthorized access. They guided me step-by-step, helping me transfer my assets to a more secure wallet and setting up additional layers of protection that I never even knew existed. Thanks to their swift action and expertise, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. The hackers wouldn’t be able to touch my Ethereum now. My coins were safe, protected by multi-signature authentication, cold storage, and state-of-the-art encryption. Without CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT, I would have lost everything. Their quick thinking and advanced security measures saved my assets from the grasp of cybercriminals. I couldn’t be more grateful. Now, I sleep soundly, knowing that my Ethereum is safe, all thanks to them. cryptorecoveryconsultant312[@]zohomail,,,com cryptorecoveryconsultant[@]cash4u,,,com

'Statement of ambition' Ross Byrne signing announced by Gloucester

Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.

I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: "Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back." I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That's rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver's story.

I didn't waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn't just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.

Relief doesn't even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn't just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn't know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.

Ireland A player ratings vs England A | 2025

I had always been cautious about online investments, but when I came across an opportunity promising high returns, I let my guard down. The website looked professional, the testimonials seemed legitimate, and the support team assured me my money was safe. I invested a significant amount, hoping to secure my financial future. At first, everything seemed fine. My account balance grew, and I was even able to withdraw small amounts. Encouraged, I reinvested a larger sum. That’s when the problems began. Suddenly, my withdrawal requests were ignored, customer support stopped responding, and my account was locked. It hit me—I had fallen victim to a sophisticated online scam. Feeling helpless, I searched for solutions. Traditional banks couldn’t help, and law enforcement advised me to be cautious in the future but offered little hope of recovery. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company specializing in ethical financial recovery using advanced AI and blockchain tracking.I reached out to them, skeptical but desperate. Their response was swift and professional. After verifying my case, they used their AI-driven forensic tracking to analyze blockchain transactions, uncovering the fraudsters’ network. Their experts collaborated with cybersecurity teams and legal authorities, using ethical hacking to trace my funds.Weeks later, I received an email that changed everything: “We have successfully retrieved a significant portion of your lost funds.” I couldn’t believe it. Shortly after, the money was deposited back into my account.Galaxy Ethical Tech not only helped me reclaim my lost investment but also educated me on how to avoid such scams in the future. Thanks to them, I regained my financial stability—and my trust in ethical technology. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember: the right technology, used ethically, can turn losses into second chances.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech

Brendan Fanning: 'Wales have been insulted by the degree of arrogance abroad on this side of the Irish Sea.'

Watching 6N since the 1970s. You?


As an occasional journalist (although politics) I have an eye for sentiment in media. Almost every broadcast I heard, at worst were at pains to be careful to be considerate and at best were remarkably respectful. I read a few articles in Irish papers of record even supply researched articles into how aspects of the Irish system could be applied in Wales and which would be unsuitable. In short I have never experienced a build up to a 6 nations match where one sides media and pundits showed as much respect to another. Every country will have a broadcast which takes the p1ss. Thats not news. If that is the bar then every country has been a ‘national embarrassment’ before every match. Your substantiation for believing Ireland (in particular) is a national embarrassment is therefore unclear.

Why do I read the Daily Telegraph? I read many rugby articles, and related articles in Daily Telegraph and The Times to get different perspectives. You might as well ask why listen to ‘Off The Ball’ and place such an importance to it that a joke in it is a national embarrassment?

I don’t speak for you, but equivalently you don’t get to declare a joke as a ‘national embarrassment’ without substantiation.


The issue was not the joke, thatw as nothing. It was the noise made by ‘outraged’ British and Irish media who were cynically cashing in on it.


Yesterday WalesOnline continued their decades long extreme bias against Irish rugby by attacking Dan Sheehan and the Irish team saying they “laughed at the whinging Irish” when Sheehan brought up issues with how the scrum were adjudicated.

This comment was not made in jest. Do you consider this a national embarrassment? Should we attack all Welsh rugby fans and media for tolerating these continuous quasi zenophobic attack on Irish rugby and fans? Nah, didn’t think so.
