Harlequins have signed promising young second row Matas Jurevicius from Championship side London Scottish. The 20-year-old was a regular starter for London Scottish before their Championship campaign was curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Jurevicius has enjoyed an impressive rise through the age grades, and has represented the England Counties Under-18s and Under-20s teams.

And Harlequins are already toying with the idea of testing Jurevicius’ versatility, with Head of Rugby Paul Gustard admitting the club may use the player at blindside, rather that his usual lock position.

Jurevicius is a Harlequins supporter since childhood, having attended games with his father.

‘It means a lot, it’s a big dream realised for me and my Dad, it’s a big step forward. He is a Harlequins fan, our first game together was at a Harlequins game,’ Jurevicius said.

“I remember when I was younger, we had a little tournament not far from the stadium, and the club that won got to wave the flags to let the teams run out.

“We didn’t win the tournament, but we got to watch the game and the atmosphere was amazing – that was my first rugby game as well, going to a stadium, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

“I’m looking forward to having Paul [Gustard’s] experience in coaching.

“I can’t wait to improve my rugby as well, and to meet everyone at the Club. I’m excited to meet all the boys.”

Gustard said: “We are excited to announce that Matas will be joining the Club.

“He is a young man with huge athletic potential and the talent to make a significant impact in the coming years.

“He has been a regular starter for London Scottish at such a tender age in a physically demanding position in a physically demanding league and has acquitted himself really well.

“He is aggressive in contact and has demonstrated the willingness to develop, and he deserves an opportunity to see how far he can go.

“Although he has played this season at lock, he has just turned 20 and, at 6ft4 and 115 kilos, has the foundations for a modern-day blindside, which is potentially where we see him long-term.

“We look forward to seeing how he develops.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
