Former England call-up Lewis Boyce offered rugby league trial

Leeds Rhinos have reportedly invited former Harlequins and Bath forward Lewis Boyce to join the early stages of their pre-season training on trial, according to Love Rugby League.

The initial group of Rhinos players resumed training last week after the off-season hiatus, with Boyce, a prop in rugby union, apparently set to join them.

Boyce, a 27-year-old with roots in the Leeds area, has spent his entire professional career in union, starting with Yorkshire Carnegie in Leeds before moving to Harlequins in 2017 and subsequently joining Bath in 2019. More recently, he featured in the RFU Championship for Ealing Trailfinders.

      Gerhard Steenekamp on touring and Boks

      At one stage Boyce was in the mix for an England cap, having been called into an England training camp in January 2018 by Eddie Jones prior to their Six Nations Championship opener against Italy. The former England U20 star ultimately never won a cap at senior level.

      The fact that the 6’1, 113kg Boyce was a loosehead in rugby union, a specialist position not often associated with cross-code swaps, makes the move all the more intriguing. Although there were question marks over his scrummaging in the fifteen-man game, Boyce was known as a strong ball carrier and tackler, which suggests a move to rugby league might be a good fit for the 27-year-old.

      The trial, which was organised by Rhinos’ coach Rohan Smith, spans two weeks and serves as an exploratory opportunity for both parties to assess Boyce’s adaptation to rugby league.

      While discussions regarding a potential deal have not transpired, Boyce aims to impress during Leeds’ pre-season preparations in the hope of securing a longer-term opportunity.

      Although a formal agreement remains distant, Leeds could exploit a salary cap loophole if Boyce were to join, valuing him at £0 in the first year under the new talent pool dispensation, applicable to players transitioning from union to league.

      Gloucester-Hartpury and Saracens dig deep to set up PWR final

      As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible. telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)

      Sam Prendergast leading race for Lions 10 jersey claims recent tour captain

      I’m reaching out today with a heartfelt plea, hoping my experience can serve as a warning to others. I’m one of the millions who have lost everything to the Vourteige scam, and my story is a painful reminder of how easily trust can be exploited. It all started with promises of high returns: a 5-month contract, 2% monthly withdrawals on a free margin account. Everything sounded too good to be true, but I was drawn in by their convincing tactics and the allure of financial freedom. I trusted them so much that I borrowed a significant amount of money from banks, believing in the legitimacy of this investment. Unfortunately, I failed to see the warning signs and ignored the growing doubts I had.I ended up investing a substantial sum of $450,000, fully expecting to see profits and withdrawals, as promised. But that never happened. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t access any of my funds. The platform’s responses became more vague, and the withdrawals never came through. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and I was left in a situation that could have led to complete financial ruin.At this point, I felt utterly hopeless. I was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the thought of facing my family, especially my parents, with this news was unbearable. They had no~ idea how~ deep I had gone into this investment, and I couldn’t bear to lose their trust. The shame I felt was overwhelming.But just when I thought there was no way out, I discovered a legitimate recovery team called Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ They offered a glimmer of hope when everything seemed lost. The team worked tirelessly to guide me through the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover 100% of my lost crypto funds. I can’t express how grateful I am for their expertise, support, and the relief I now feel.I’m sharing my story not to relive the pain, but to warn others. If you’re considering investing in anything that promises high returns with little risk, please do your research. Check trusted websites like Reddit and others to see if others have had similar experiences. Be cautious, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t give up. There are legitimate recovery teams out there that can help.

      Easterby hits back at France's conduct in the wake of Dupont injury

      The Reports ARE PUBLIC (see below). This is where I get my information from. There is NO lack of transparency. When Galthie was demanding detail on the Ringrose report all had to do was wait a day for the detailed decision. He knows all this and he knows that fallow weeks make Ntamacks a different case to Ringrose.

      Precedent for Ringrose decision is Atonio (2023), Haouas (2023) and Danty (2024) all France. Precedent for Ntamack is O’Mahony (2021) Ireland although Willemse (2024) France, succeeded in having in having club matches count.


      Note also in the Ntamack written decision the Wales doctor says full broken nose and bone displacement for Thomas. An injury should warrant a hig entry level ban for Ntamack. The summary said ‘No Injury’ though. Ntamack got his special treatmenet for his cheapshot on Thomas.


      https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/discipline


      Galthie at hearing (in bold is the exact reason that Galthie knew exactky the issue with Ntamack compared to Ringrose and all those French players who historically benfitted): “It is a quirk of the Six Nations that there are two fallow weeks where players can be released back to their clubs. Establishing that a player was “expected to play” for his club in the first fallow week is very difficult in the context of red cards / citations following Six Nations match week 1 fixtures. The biggest variable – performance in match week 2 – is not yet known, and without that information France Men’s Head Coach cannot say definitively (nor is he required to say under the terms of the FFR / LNR Agreement) whether after match week 1 a player would have been designated for the first fallow week.”
