Justin Tipuric ruled out of Scotland match

Wales suffered a blow ahead of their Guinness Six Nations clash against Scotland in Llanelli when flanker Justin Tipuric was ruled out.

The Welsh Rugby Union said that 77 times-capped Tipuric was sidelined due to tonsillitis, with Scarlets forward James Davies replacing him and Aaron Wainwright taking over from Davies among the substitutes.

Alun Wyn Jones, meanwhile, prepared to set a new world record of 149 Test match appearances.

The Wales skipper drew level with New Zealand World Cup-winning captain Richie McCaw a week ago, and he led a team looking to end a run of four successive defeats.

Tipuric’s absence meant that Wales head coach Wayne Pivac made seven changes from the side beaten by France last time out.

The switches included a Test debut for Cardiff Blues flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes and starts for the likes of scrum-half Gareth Davies, prop Tomas Francis and lock Will Rowlands, but wing George North was dropped.

Fly-half Finn Russell returned for Scotland, handed a first Test start since last year’s World Cup after being omitted from the squad in January following a breach of team protocol, while captain Stuart Hogg and lock Jonny Gray were also back following their domestic and European double-winning exploits with Exeter.

Former England star leads Benetton to huge URC result over Lions

I found myself stuck in a cycle that had no end to it,I knew I needed to break out of that matrix or watch all I have ever worked for go down the drain all for nothing . The setbacks & mountainous taxes I faced in the later stages of my investment while trying to withdraw my assets, I vividly recall experiencing none of that in the earlier rounds when I started investing.Despite being faced with these abrupt taxes which I willingly paid hoping that my withdrawal process will be approved.Withdrawing my trading gains turned from a walk in the park to nothing but a disappointing & frustrating experience filled with unending commission and denied withdrawals altogether.This could have gone on until I was bankrupt or worse homeless in the streets, it breaks my heart When I remember how lost & broken I felt upon discovering the investment company was fraudulent because I always thought I knew better & not the type to fall victim to such. Finding yourself in such situation and not knowing what to do or where to begin your search for a solution to get your invested asset out is an experience and a feeling that not just anyone understands,”it’s like a been there done that kind of situation”, drowning in your own pool of regrets & self blame while battling the thoughts of the possible loss of your whole investment . I Searched high & low and left no stone unturned in my quest for assistance,I faced countless disappointment from firms & institution I thought I could rely on, not to mention the discouragements from friends & family who wanted me to give up on my search and consider damage control, instead of trying to recover what I lost as it was clearly costing me more & taking it’s toll on my overall wellbeing, but of course I paid no attention to the negative comments.

And it’s not until I tried and tried and tried again did my search lead me to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”. Valor Team handled my request & complaint with ease and ethics that I have never seen before in my life , after “VALOR TEAM’S” interception in my case my idea of possibilities heightened. My newly found awareness towards Investments & “Investment Frauds” gave me the push to share my experience in an attempt to help the next victim who is probably going through the same emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty and failed expectation from sources they trusted ,to search no further but head straight to a Renowned & Legit asset recovery company “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” , because this team in question worked round the clock to ensure my invested asset were pulled from the fraudulent investment company. It became clear to me after getting scammed that it’s no news anymore to loose money through an investment scam ,it has become a widespread problem that’s eating deep into the savings account of my fellow Americans and the world at large and it’s high time we fight fire with fire. Fighting Fraud, Fraud prevention, detection & Asset recovery works better when everyone that has ever come in contact with “Valor team” and can attest to the company’s authenticity(who ) also understands how this team works, to go Public make & it an obligation to educate your family, team, anyone & everyone within your reach (the next victim or the world in general) to use a trusted Asset Recovery Solution like “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” to identify problems/foul play in any investment or business deal they wish to venture in to. Delegate tasks like this to the right experts - VALOR HACK TEAM- they can detect & deal with any red flags raised by the investment company that you are already investing with or about to invest in, with their expert insight in fraud detection system.

Below are the means of contact that I’m aware of ;

I became a victim of a romance scam that led me to invest $254,000 in Tether (USDT) on a fake site. After realizing I had been scammed, I felt utterly hopeless and desperate for help. I began searching for a hacker online and came across Ultimate Hacker Jerry. His professionalism and expertise gave me hope. Jerry worked tirelessly to recover my lost funds, and I’m thrilled to say he succeeded! I am incredibly grateful for his assistance and highly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation. Thank you, Jerry!

Beauden Barrett benched in Blues team to play Reds

This could be the key match of the round. A Blues loss and they are likely out of contention for the playoffs. A Reds win means they are well placed to make them. Expect a close game with Reds flair up against Blues forward power.

Crusaders impact could put veteran O’Connor in Wallabies mix for Lions

RA has very limited funds and professional squad opportunities. The last thing Australia needs is kiwi players going over and taking Aussie money and jobs! It's not like your teams are uncompetitive.

Another totally obscure post by JW. Obviously Reece is a Crusader and Telea is a Blue so his bias is obvious but nothing else makes any sense.

'Haves and have nots': The Six Nations numbers reveal hidden truths

I suppose that if France continues with the best league in the world and other teams share the world cup everyone will be happy! But I did sense a real yearning among French fans in 2023, the hurt has to be like England football fans!

'No one in the world has seen': Black Ferns foreshadow World Cup strategy

What a load of nonsense. The Black Ferns’ results in 2024 actually foreshadowed a disastrous RWC2025 campaign. And still do at this point in time.

To recap:

- A first time loss to Canada thus losing the PAC4 trophy.

- A loss to Ireland & subsequent relegation to 4th place in WXV1

- Easily dismissed & dominated up front by England in two test defeats

Now, miraculously, we are expected to believe in something “the world has never seen”? I love Ruby Tui but such grandiosity even exceeds her usual OTT hype-o-meter levels.

Here’s a novel idea. Fix the tight five (selection & technique), fix the loosie combo (need more bulk at #6 for starters), earn the right to spread the ball, kick for territory, stop throwing the ball around willy nilly in our 22 as the 1st option, sort out the very soft D (some of those England backline tries were merely practice drills), the list goes on . . . & on . . . Basic stuff, I would’ve thought.

Save the talking for on the field please. Let’s go!!!!!

The Champions' Cup - a paradise lost?

It used to, if you watched the right games - give you the best club rugby in the northern hemisphere. Big French club v Sarries, or Connaught taking down a bunch of millionaires at their atmospheric windswept ground.

Now most of the teams prioritise their domestic leagues, there's a tiny number of potential winners, and nobody in England bothers to pay for the channel that shows it.
