Gareth Anscombe leapfrogs Irish star as Prem club enters bidding war for Wales 10

Leicester Tigers are set to go head-to-head with Provence Rugby to sign Wales fly-half Gareth Anscombe when his one-year contract with Premiership rivals Gloucester expires at the end of the season.

Anscombe, 33, was recalled to the Wales squad and started their last three Six Nations defeats against Ireland, Scotland, and England after Matt Sherratt took over from Warren Gatland, who had overseen 14 consecutive losses.

The former New Zealand under-20 international, who has played 42 times for Wales, is keen to feature in the 2027 World Cup and has made 11 appearances for the Cherry and Whites so far this season.

He has proved his fitness after a long-term groin injury, having signed a one-year deal with Gloucester last May. Prior to that, he spent two seasons with the Ospreys following a five-year stint in Cardiff.

Provence, who are bidding for promotion to the Top 14, have sounded him out about a move to Stade Maurice David and are believed to have offered him a deal of around €12,000 a month to cross the Channel.

He would reunite with former Wales team-mate Tomas Francis, who joined Les Noirs – the three-time Fédérale 1 champions – from the Ospreys after the 2023 World Cup.

They are also home to former England and Northampton Saints back-row Teimana Harrison, who has played 19 of their 22 games this season but now faces a ban after being sent off in the defeat at Montauban last weekend.

The Tigers are growing increasingly desperate in their search to replace Handre Pollard, who is returning to the Bulls when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Owen Farrell has told them he intends to see out the final year of his contract with Racing 92, while an ambitious bid for Ireland star Jack Crowley is also tipped to fall through, leaving them scrambling for available options.

I’ve read many stories about THE HACKANGELS how the expert is helping people recover their funds after losing them to scammers. It is indeed surprising to know you can recover all lost bitcoin back from scammers or any fake investment site.

They helped me get my stolen funds back, they are the best, I can assure you a swift and competent job with them.

I think that the word desperate absolutely encapsulates Tigers approach, they can’t find a No 10, and we shall also be on our 9th coach in as many seasons.

The club is being run by donkeys.

'Ulster, though no one wants to admit it, isn't much more than a development province right now.'

“I was wondering if the AIL had clubs that were on the tipping point of wanting to become pro, how close could they get to a current Ulster etc”.


The Irish structure has always been the International team at the top, then the four provinces, then the clubs below that. Before the pro era in each province there were senior clubs playing each other, and that was pretty much “ring fenced”…no relegation or promotion. Then below that a series of junior leagues. The top players in the international scene played in the Five Nations(before Italy came in), and against the touring All Blacks or Springboks initially, then later Australia and Argentina came in. Actually I would need to go back and check the history of the teams coming onto the scene ie other than the Ab’s and Boks.


Those International players would only play for their province three times each year in the Inter Pro games, with the Bok, AB etc games only in tour years. Rest of the time, every single Int. player played club rugby every weekend.


Pro era dawned, and the four provinces became the sole pro teams, feeding up to the Int. team. There is no prospect as far as I can see of any AIL team ever becoming professional. Deepete, or someone living in Ireland would know more than I do, but what happens is fringe and academy players can play in the AIL, giving them game time they would not get otherwise. Top International players would rarely play at AIL level.


I think in Australia the tyranny of distance inhibits an AIL type structure. Ireland is tiny, good rail and road sytems, and it is easy to play in Cork, Limerick, Dublin, any where, weekend after weekend. Imagine an All Australian league, and travelling from Townsville for a game in Margaret River, etc. etc.


“I actually had the tables up and had no idea who was who lol”. Neither do I in some cases. A lot of new clubs since I played/lived in Ireland…I have to check who some are !!


Good discussion here JW. Have enjoyed it.

'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

Months earlier, I’d sunk $156,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity, an online cryptocurrency investment promising sky-high returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowing, and the numbers kept climbing. But when I tried to withdraw my profits, the platform froze. Emails went unanswered, support chats died, and my “investment” vanished into the digital ether. I’d been scammed, and the sting of it burned deep.Desperate, I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest while scouring the web for help. Their site/reviews didn’t promise miracles, just results, specialists in tracking down lost funds from online scams. Skeptical but out of options, I reached out. The process started with a simple form: I detailed the scam, uploaded screenshots of transactions, and shared the wallet addresses I’d sent my crypto to. Within hours, they confirmed they’d take my case.What followed was like watching a high-stakes chess game unfold, though I only saw the moves, not the players. Alpha Spy Nest dove into the blockchain, tracing my funds through a maze of wallets designed to obscure their path. They explained how scammers often use mixers to launder crypto, but certain patterns like timing and wallet clustering, could still betray them. I didn’t understand half of it, but their confidence kept me hopeful. Hours later, they updated me: my money had landed in an exchange account tied to the scam network. They’d identified it through a mix of on-chain analysis and intel from sources I’d never grasp. After 24 hours, i got a message, my funds were frozen in the scammer’s account pending review. Alpha Spy Nest had apparently flagged it just in time.  After some back-and-forth, the exchange with the help of Alpha Spy Nest reversed the transactions, and $145,000 of my original $156,000 hit my wallet. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, siphoned off early. I never met anyone from Alpha Spy Nest, never heard a voice or saw a face. Yet, their methodical precision pulled me back from the brink. My money wasn’t fully restored, but the recovery felt like a win, a lifeline from a faceless ally in a world of digital shadows.
