After suffering their first defeat of the URC season in dramatic fashion against the Bulls last week, Leinster produced the perfect response ahead of next weekend’s Champions Cup round of 16 clash against Harlequins at Croke Park.

The Irish province, showing eight changes to the side which lost at Loftus Versfeld, immediately took advantage of Jaden Hendrikse’s yellow card when Henry McErlean went over in the 18th minute but Ciaran Frawley was unable to add the extras.

    Scott Penny grabbed a second Leinster try seven minutes into the second half, with Frawley’s conversion hitting the woodwork.

    Sharks, who had won four of their last five games to boost their hopes of a home quarter-final tie in the play-offs, responded as Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi crossed and Jordan Hendrikse converted.

    I don’t understand Sharks. They looked unplayably good at the outset of the season. Does anyone know what has happenned?

    Etzebeth is injured and credit to a very strong Leinster side but has there been a dip or have I imagined it? Maybe they are missing more key players and the squad lacks depth?

    Leinster B team a bit rich they’re an excellent side with the best of sport science coaching behind them making the utmost of their personnel. Rugby SA and Rassie the wizard need to find some better coaching talent from seomewhere for our franchises they're falling behind. Plumtree isn't bad but he's not up there with the big boys even Jake just makes the cut. With better coaching and use of our super talented Sharks personnel the Sharks would be unbeatable.

    Leinster deserved the win. Sharks deserved a bigger beating.


    I need to quit the stupid optimism that we will soon see the Sharks play to their potential.

    George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

    I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

    Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

    From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

    There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

    I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

    Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
