Ireland star in line for 'incredible' recovery

15 Sep 2019

Joey Carbery will cover scrum-half for Ireland.

Joey Carbery is poised to complete an “incredible” recovery from ankle trouble in time for Ireland’s World Cup opener against Scotland.

Munster star Carbery suffered a nasty ankle ligament problem in Ireland’s opening World Cup warm-up clash, the 29-10 victory over Italy in Dublin on Saturday, August 10.

The 23-year-old could have been touch and go to make the tournament at all, but may now be ready to take on the Scots in Yokohama on September 22.

Head coach Joe Schmidt has revealed Carbery is expected to return to full training on Monday, while forwards coach Simon Easterby hailed the fly-half’s impressive job to get back to fitness so quickly.

“We were hugely disappointed for him when he went down against Italy, but he, and the medical and strength and conditioning staff have done an incredible job to get him to this point,” said Easterby.

This situation regarding Robbie Henshaw is not what Joe Schmidt's Ireland need with the countdown on towards the World Cup opener versus Scotland

“If there wasn’t the confidence within him and what the guys could do with him over the period from when he got injured he wouldn’t have travelled.

“And I think that was largely due to the confidence that he brought, but also the confidence that the strength and conditioning staff and the medics brought to the whole thing.

“There was plenty of discussion over it, because it was such an important decision to take, on someone coming with an injury.

“But I think he and the guys around him have worked incredibly hard to get to this stage.”

Robbie Henshaw remains Ireland’s chief doubt for their World Cup opener against Gregor Townsend’s Scotland, the result of which could well map out the rest of Pool A.

Leinster powerhouse Henshaw pulled up with a hamstring problem in training on Saturday, and now faces a nervous wait for the results of a scan.

Allied to the nearly fit-again Carbery, Ireland are also hoping for good news on flyer Keith Earls.

The Munster wing is battling to shake off a thigh complaint, and is likely to start against Scotland if fit.

“Joey Carbery has trained well on Saturday and will train fully with the team on Monday,” said Ireland boss Schmidt.

“Keith will either train Wednesday or Friday, so he’s close as well.

“So it just means that apart from Robbie we’re hopefully not too badly off.”

Japan's proposed anti-diverse 'blood' eligibility law after foreign player influx

This is simply an appeal to the Japanese people to join in shoulder to shoulder in supporting their team. The Japan team. You ask any Japanese who doesn't follow rugby, and you’ll hear that 99% of the reason why rugby is not as attractive like soccer, or baseball is because they feel like the Japanese team is not really for the Japanese people. Interesting enough, players like Kotaro Matsushima (South Africa born) and Koo Ji-won (a Japanese Korean) are big hits with most of these non-rugby fan majority. They don’t mind players like Matsushima and Koo Ji-won …I guess that is where the article is referring to as blood related.

Late Makazole Mapimpi try earns the Sharks win away to Edinburgh

I never imagined I’d lose access to my Bybit wallet — Especially with $50,000 worth of Bitcoin inside. But one wrong move, a forgotten security detail, and suddenly, my funds were gone. I couldn’t log in. I couldn’t reset anything. I was completely locked out. The panic that hit me was unreal. I tried everything — support tickets, online forums, tutorials, even “recovery tools” — but nothing worked. Days turned into weeks, and hope started to fade fast.

I searched endlessly online, reached out to forums, and tried every recovery method I could find. I even contacted Bybit wallet support, but since it’s a non-custodial wallet, there wasn’t much they could do. As days turned into weeks, my hope started to fade. I truly believed my Bitcoin was gone forever. That’s when I discovered Trust Geeks Hack Expert. At first, I was skeptical. The internet is full of scammers who prey on people like me — desperate and vulnerable. But from the moment I spoke with Trust Geeks Hack Expert, something felt different. They were calm, respectful, professional — and most importantly, honest.

They didn’t promise a miracle. They explained the risks, walked me through their process step by step, and reassured me without giving false hope. I decided to take the leap and trust them, and I am so glad I did. Within just a few days, they reached out with the message I never thought I’d receive: “We’ve recovered your Bitcoin.” Every single dollar was there. Nothing missing. No delays. Just relief, gratitude, and pure disbelief.

Trust Geeks Hack Expert didn’t just recover my money — they restored my peace of mind. They handled everything with care, skill, and absolute integrity. In a world full of uncertainty, they were the one team I could trust when it mattered most. for Assistance support team is available E m a i l: Trust geeks hack expert @ fastservice . com -- Te le G r a m: Trust geeks hack expert

Is the All Blacks captaincy right for Scott Barrett?

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I would like to relate my experience with online scammers. My name is Vivian Cantrell, and I'm from Chicago, Illinois. I lost roughly $342,511.00 in a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme. They pretended to be an investment firm that, if you deposited your Bitcoin with them, would yield a specific percentage of returns. It appeared genuine at first and worked twice. I was unaware that they had installed a bot, or robot, that would terminate your account entirely after you made a larger investment. Thus, I was no longer able to access my cryptocurrency account. Customer care informed me of an ongoing website upgrade when I called them. In summary, it was a scam. After conducting some research and reading a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, in which WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY helped a victim recover her stolen cryptocurrency in less than 48 hours, I decided to get in touch with them because I was in dire need of assistance in order recover my life savings. In relation to the investment, they questioned me. After telling them, they requested the address of my bitcoin wallet, which I gave them. I was shocked to learn that they assisted me in getting my cryptocurrency back. Contact them via email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com, WhatsApp Number: +44 (741) 836-7204, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY is trustworthy and they are always ready to help you out

Make medal-worthy Anzac clash stick: Reds skipper

The NRL games are pretty cringe worthy, with Sydney favourites getting special treament and the only NZ team taking on a remote League team every year. I don’t understand it, is AFL any better?

Should we have Reds vs Blues every year? Does the same aussie team have the bye every year too then, never partaking in an ANZAC weekend? The Battle of the South always gets played out by Crusaders and Highlanders, theyre a bit to pre pre WWI aren’t they?

I’m with Harry, it should be special someone how, I’m just not sure something so simple is it. How about it’s a Blues or Reds trophy, but the winner of it now has a challenger, and if it it’s held by another team, who then looses it to either the Blues or Reds (as an ANZAC day feature game), then that triggers a Blues v Reds clash the next year?

So say the Blues loose it to the Brumbies the next year, and the Brumbies are challenged by the Hurricanes and lose it to them, then when the Reds manage to take it off the Hurricanes, then that triggers and automatic contest for the Blues to be able to win it off the Reds. So any time either regain it, it becomes about them again. Their story, the original story.

I liked some of the ideas for say a full sortie of matchups (though difficult with Aussie down a side) at say a host venue, but I think just a normal celebration like weve always had, but with the Friday fixture being for this Medal would be cool too.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Enjoyed it very much, love the idea of the evolution of rugby and there has been a lot in the last 25 years. Even the refs have evolved into a group who can run a game without the whistle going every second minute. Still not sure they understand what goes on in the front row.

Not if you are a Wallaby supporter, although Schmidt is moving the immovable. Wales fans wouldn’t think it was so great a time to be alive. Italians seem to enjoy a day at the Coliseum regardless of the outcome.

Bloody hell. After a sh*t circuit series, the AB7s can become men’s SVNS SERIES CHAMPIONS by winning in LA 😂😂😂 With the return of the Rocketman, plus more pace to burn on-hand, this is a strong possibility.

Fur set to fly as Parisian duo dragged into Top 14 relegation dogfight

At the end of that season the owner of Stade Français, Thomas Savare, offloaded the club, having invested more than €20m of the family’s money in five and a half years.

One imagines that Savare hasn’t had a moment of regret in the eight years since he sold up to the Swiss businessman Hans-Peter Wild. In his first season at the helm,

I’m confused.

The one thing I was wondering about this years dogfight at the bottom is whether it’s going to keep the fair few French internationals out of the touring squad selection/eligibility.

Was it home and away, or a gap in in between the games? A couple of those sides have players that could be locked into the playoff places. Perhaps effecting Lions tourists too?

No argument from me on all of what you said.

On a positive note so glad to see Akuila and Kitiona both back from long term injuries.

In the BF7s excited to see how the two new girls go, both have gas to burn, and in 7s there's no substitute for pass

Yeah the SAn teams have come through a tough period trying to embed reform and a new style of rugby, they’d be a lot more consistent than the version a few years either side of that real down 2016(/17) year.

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

Email: prowizardgilbertrecovery(@) engineer.comWhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234Telegram: https://t.me/Pro_Wizard_Gilbert_RecoveryI never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Yeah I remember now, Pauls were without their last year students, so must have been something else towards the end of their season I watched.

I haven’t watched all our recent stuff but keep an eye out for one of our hookers, Eli or Ely. Not that you’d be able to miss him!
