The entry of the Bulls into the United Rugby Championship (URC) has seen a boom in ticket sales, despite the franchise only being able to use 50 per cent of Loftus Versfeld.

Blue Bulls Company CEO, Edgar Rathbone predicts that over 25,000 fans will descend to their home ground to see Jake White’s team take on the Cell C Sharks this Saturday in their URC quarter-final, despite pandemic restrictions.

The Bulls’ success saw them come fourth in the regular season despite a shaky start to the competition in 2021.

James O’Connor is brilliantly open about his life & career | RugbyPass Offload | Episode 36

James O’Connor joins the lads this week to walk us through his phenomenal and often misunderstood career. He talks to us about being the youngest player to line out in Super Rugby and for the Wallabies, struggling with alcohol, fame and partying, as well as playing in London, Manchester and Toulon before returning to Australia. One of the most talented players of his generation, he gives us an incredible insight into the highs and lows of his career so far and what his plans are next. Max and Ryan also cover off the Champions Challenge Cup Finals and the jubilant scenes in La Rochelle

“We always knew it was going to be a tough competition,” said Rathbone. “What I respect about our coaching staff and our team is that they came back, in a debrief, after that specific tour and said that they need to make some game plan changes and how we play, specifically a lot more ball in hand and a lot more tempo.

“That is what surprised us the most from the European teams – the tempo, especially that first game against Leinster. They then started implementing the changes and the team, at first, struggled to get the hang of it. Obviously when you change things it takes a bit of time. As soon as all those game plans clicked in, we saw the results in the competition.

“We need to thank the players and the coaches for all the work they have done to get us to the position we are in now – to play a quarterfinal in Pretoria. We are all really looking forward to Saturday.”

“The last few days we’ve seen a massive peak in ticket sales. We are getting close to 20 000, with our stadium being allowed to accommodate 50% of the capacity,” confirmed Rathbone.

“The appetite to watch live rugby at our stadiums we have seen growing… The quality of rugby has been exceptional.

“Our tickets start at R25 and there are still ample tickets available in that category, and they sell all the way to R250 for the best seats in the house. Interestingly, it is always the more expensive seats that sell out the quickest.

“It has always been our plan to look after our supporters with affordable tickets. We all know what the economy is like, and the fuel price increases. We understand that it becomes difficult for families to come to the stadiums, so we try our best to make our tickets affordable.”

South African franchise involvement in European competition took another major step forward today with news that five South African teams will be included in next season’s European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup competitions.

WEBSITE W.W.W.techcyberforcerecovery.com WHATSAPP +1 561.726.36.97  EMAIL  Techcybersforcerecovery@cyberservices.comI Thought I Was Too Smart to Be Scammed, Until I Was. I'm an attorney, so precision and caution are second nature to me. My life is one of airtight contracts and triple-checking every single detail. I'm the one people come to for counsel. But none of that counted for anything on the day I lost $750,000 in Bitcoin to a scam.It started with what seemed like a normal email, polished, professional, with the same logo as my cryptocurrency exchange's support team. I was between client meetings, juggling calls and drafting agreements, when it arrived. The email warned of "suspicious activity" on my account. My heart pounding, I reacted reflexively. I clicked on the link. I entered my login credentials. I verified my wallet address.The reality hit me like a blow to the chest. My balance was zero seconds later. The screen went dim as horror roiled in my stomach. The Bitcoin I had worked so hard to accumulate over the years, stored for my retirement and my children's future, was gone.I felt embarrassed. Lawyers are supposed to outwit criminals, not get preyed on by them. Mortified, I asked a client, a cybersecurity specialist, for advice, expecting criticism. But he just suggested TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. He assured me that they dealt with delicate situations like mine.I was confident from the first call that I was in good hands. They treated me with empathy and discretion by their staff, no patronizing lectures. They understood the sensitive nature of my business and assured me of complete confidentiality.Their forensic experts dove into blockchain analysis with attention to detail that rivaled my own legal work. They tracked the stolen money through a complex network of offshore wallets and cryptocurrency tumblers tech jargon that appeared right out of a spy thriller. Once they had identified the thieves, they initiated a blockchain reversal process, a cutting-edge method I was not even aware was possible.Three weeks of suffering later, my Bitcoin was back. Every Satoshi counted for. I sat in front of my desk, looking at the refilled balance, tears withheld.TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY not only restored my assets, they provided legal-grade documentation that empowered me to bring charges against the scammers. Today, I share my story with colleagues as a warning. Even the best minds get it. But when they do, it is nice to know the Wizards have your back.
