Double Champions Cup winners La Rochelle have taken a huge stride forward in the Ronan O’Gara plan to remain successful by confirming a list of 10 contract extensions – including four players on five-year deals.

Among the quartet that have committed to the Top 14 club until 2029 is France No8 Gregory Alldritt, who sat out last Sunday’s Guinness Six Nations draw with Italy through injury.

Jack Nowell, the former England winger who moved across the Channel from Exeter last summer, has agreed to an extension keeping him at Stade Marcel-Deflandre until 2027.

    NORTH vs SOUTH: Rhys Patchell on the differences he’s seen since playing in NZ

    Welsh fly-half Rhys Patchell weighs in on the differences between playing for the Scarlets back home and where he is playing now, with the Highlanders in New Zealand

    Fijian back-rower Levani Botia is another to stick with the 2022 and 2023 European champions, shaking hands on terms through to 2026.

    A La Rochelle statement read: “The club is proud to announce the extension of 10 of its players, including several senior players, for several seasons. In the youth category, five players have signed up.”

    “2029: Gregory Alldritt, Pierre Bougarit, Thomas Lavault, Antoine Hastoy, Jules Favre;

    2028: Remi Wardi;

    2027: Jack Nowell;

    2026: Levani Botia, Simeli Daunivucu, Hugo Reus.”

    The five 17-year-olds signed by the club were Temanatua Boichot, Gabin Garault, Enzo Jean, Doego Jurd and Peni Torau Vuetimaiwai.

    La Rochelle were beaten 27-15 at Perpignan last Saturday in the Top 14. They are currently in ninth place, five points off Racing who occupy the sixth and final play-off place with 10 matches remaining. They are also away to the Stormers on April 6 in the Champions Cup round of 16.

    The number of England qualified players now fetching up in the Top 14 is becoming worrying. Although as a French resident the prospect of watching Farrell v Dupont at Toulouse is a mouth watering prospect.

    Leinster player ratings vs Scarlets | 2024/25 URC

    Gunne and Byrne had poor games. Gunnes kiking was often short.

    Soroka was pretty immense.

    Suprized that ref has been reinstated after bing ‘rested’ after a few terrible games early season. Two kollapsed mauls as Leinster was inside the 5 metre line and pushing to skore. No kard. Byrne hit so so late: ‘do that again and ill book you…eh wtf?’

    Too many errors did it for them. they should have wrapped up 1st plae there.

    How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

    I have already told you that a person who was involved in formulating the law says the intention was 50:50 and named the bakline positions intented in the 5:3 split.

    Those members of WR opposed to other than 5:3 splits will use the easy win of INTENTION when WR disusses the rule. DO NOT ask again.

    I listen to experts. With respekt, you didn’t understand that the intention is the law.

    If the law stays the same then its an easy win for those wanting 5-3 assuming WR are not inkompetent of korupt.

    Finally you admit that the law should be the intention of law makers. Doyle was there for the formulation of the law. You were not. He is an expert in rugby law. You are not.

    The intention is ALWAYS established during the period before the law is made. Its 5-3. Its not 6-2, or 7-1, or 8-0.

    Quins shed more light on worrying Marcus Smith injury

    worrying?


    Not for the Lions, who were clearly never going to select Marcus.

    Not for England, who given the sudden development of Donoghue now have at least three better fly-half options for the summer.

    Perhaps not for Harlequins, who recently have looked just as good with Jamie Benson.

    Even Marcus Smith himself might benefit from some time on the sidelines to try to get his head screwed on.

    Finally, I can now heave a sigh of relief. After months of sleepless nights and constant worry, my financial nightmare has come to an end, and I owe it all to Hack Buster Recovery. It all started when I got involved in what seemed like a promising online investment opportunity. The promise of high returns was too tempting to resist, and I ended up investing a significant amount of money, including $86,000 worth of Ethereum. At first, everything seemed legitimate. The returns were coming in, and the platform appeared professional. But as time went on, the platform’s communication grew more sporadic, and eventually, my access to my account was completely blocked. I tried to reach out, but I was met with silence.The realization hit hard: I had been scammed. I had lost a massive sum of money, and there seemed to be no way to recover it.

    Montpellier vs Perpignan | Live & Latest Rugby Union Scores & Results | RugbyPass

    In France, we deeply value financial security and independence. After my divorce, my life took a chaotic turn, and amidst all the turmoil, I misplaced the backup phrase for my Bitcoin wallet, which held a significant amount, $220,000. I was already grappling with emotional challenges, and the thought of losing my Bitcoin felt like the final blow.

    In moments like these, I couldn't help but think of the French saying, “Il ne faut jamais dire jamais,” which means “Never say never.” Little did I know that this would become a mantra for my recovery journey. I spent days searching for that elusive phrase, going through old documents and turning my apartment upside down, but it was as if the universe had conspired against me—the backup was simply gone.

    Feeling desperate and overwhelmed, I confided in a friend who works in the cryptocurrency space. He recommended Hack Buster Recovery, mentioning that they had helped many French investors in similar situations. Skeptical but out of options, I decided to reach out.

    From the moment I contacted Hack Buster Recovery, I was struck by their understanding of my situation. They were professional and compassionate, reassuring me that I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Their team quickly got to work, explaining the recovery process in a way that put my mind at ease. It was clear they had dealt with cases like mine before, and their expertise gave me a flicker of hope.

    Within just a few days, I received the news that would change everything: they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin! The relief I felt was indescribable. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. In such a tough time in my life, Hack Buster Recovery became a beacon of hope.

    If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I wholeheartedly recommend Hack Buster Recovery. Their dedication, professionalism, and ability to deliver results are remarkable. They will lift the burden off your shoulders, just as they did for me. In moments of chaos, trust me when I say that Hack Buster Recovery can be the difference between despair and hope. Thanks to them, I can now move forward with my life and focus on rebuilding my financial security.

    'He has found that sweet spot': Hurricanes extend Ngane Punivai

    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.
