Jamie Farndale and Api Bavadra both return to the men’s squad, who did not feature in Hong Kong SVNS where GB finished eleventh. They will take the place of Femi Sofolarin and Jamie Barden at the Singapore National Stadium on May 3-5.

The two changes in the women’s squad see Jasmine Joyce and Rhona Lloyd return to the squad in place of Abi Burton and Alicia Maude, who were part of GB’s ninth-place finish in Hong Kong.

      Chasing the Sun on RugbyPass TV | RPTV

      Chasing the Sun, the extraordinary documentary that traces the Springboks’ road to victory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, is coming to RugbyPass TV.

      With just one round of the regular season remaining before the Grand Final in Madrid, the Singapore SVNS will be the decisive leg of the season for both the men’s and women’s sides.

      The men’s side sit in ninth place in the standings, just outside the top eight who will qualify for the Grand Final. As it stands, they are positioned to take part in the relegation battle. That could all change in Singapore though, with GB grouped in Pool B with series leaders Argentina, Fiji and, crucially, the USA, who sit only one place and seven points ahead of them in the standings.

      The women’s team find themselves in a similar position to the men’s, although they stand one place higher in eighth place in the standings. They have been grouped with ninth-place Brazil in Pool C, who only trail them by two points, as well as Fiji and joint-series leaders Australia.

      After six legs played so far this season, it all comes down to the pool stages in Singapore, which will define GB’s seasons.

      Reds vs Blues: Ex-All Black missed the mark, Lynagh’s Wallabies statement

      Agree re Lynagh.


      Disagree Beaver got it wrong. Blues made that look easy. It might be a brawn over brains picture though? More in the last point, but, and this may have changed by player selection, the Reds were very lucky this game. Tele’a should not have been red carded as Ryan landed on his shoulder, and both Tate and Jock (was it) should have been yellowed carded for their offenses in stopping tries. We also had a try dissallowed by going back 10 phases in play. We all should have learned after the RWC that that is against the rules. So straight away on this simple decisions alone the result changes to go in the Blues favour, away from home and playing fairly poorly. The sleeping giant if you will. I didn’t agree with the Blues take either tbh, but to flip it around and say it’s the Reds instead is completely inaccurate (though a good side no doubt you have to give them a chance).


      And you’re also riding the wave of defense wins matches a bit much. Aside from Dre’s tackling on Rieko I didn’t see anything in that match other than a bit of tiny goal line defending. I think if you role on the tap for another second you see the ball put placed for the try (not that I jump to agree with Eklund purely because he was adamant), and in general those just get scored more often than not. They are doing something good though stopping line breaks even if it is the Blues (and who also got over the line half a dozen times), I did not expect to be greeted with that stat looking at the game.

      'Not real Lions': How the 1989 British and Irish tourists put Australia on the map

      Life can unravel in an instant. For me, that moment came when deceitful cryptocurrency brokers vanished with £40,000 of my savings, a devastating blow that left me paralyzed by shame and despair. The aftermath was a fog of sleepless nights, self-doubt, and a crushing sense of betrayal. I questioned every choice, wondering how I’d fallen for such a scheme. Hope felt like a luxury I no longer deserved. Then, Tech Cyber Force Recovery emerged like a compass in a storm. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. What I found, however, was a team that radiated both expertise and empathy. From our first conversation, they treated my crisis not as a case file, but as a human tragedy. Their professionalism was matched only by their compassion, a rare combination in the often impersonal world of finance.

      What happened next defied logic. Within 72 hours of sharing my story, they traced the labyrinth of blockchain transactions, outmaneuvering the scammers with surgical precision. When their email arrived, “Funds recovered, secure and intact,” I wept. It wasn’t just the money; it was the validation that justice could prevail. Tech Cyber Force Recovery didn’t just restore my finances, they resurrected my dignity. But their impact ran deeper. They demystified the recovery process, educating me without judgment. Their transparency became a lifeline, transforming my fear into understanding. Where I saw chaos, they saw patterns; where I felt powerless, they instilled agency. Today, I’m rebuilding not just my savings, but my trust in humanity. Tech Cyber Force Recovery taught me that vulnerability isn’t weakness, and that seeking help is an act of courage. To those still trapped in the aftermath of fraud: miracles exist. They wear no capes, but they wield algorithms and integrity like superheroes. To the extraordinary Tech Cyber Force Recovery team, your work is more than technical prowess. It’s alchemy, turning despair into resilience. You gave me more than my funds; you gave me my future. May your light guide countless others through their darkest nights. From the depths of my heart: Thank you.

      Consult Tech Cyber Force Recovery for help.
