Abrahams (shoulder) has had surgery this week alongside Craig Casey (knee) and Jean Kleyn (thigh), who are all ruled out for extended periods of time.

Former Chiefs Super Rugby midfielder and current Munster player Alex Nankivell will miss some time after picking up a hamstring injury last weekend against Ulster at Kingspan Stadium.

The 28-year-old had to be substituted late in the first half, nursing a hamstring injury that he will get scans on to reveal the extent of the injury.

25-year-old Munster prop Dan Bleuler is in the process of completing his return-to-play protocols after sustaining a head injury in last weekend’s game in Belfast. 

Munster have been without Diarmuid Barron (chest), Peter O’Mahony (calf contusion) and Conor Murray (elbow), although they are all close to a return, and may be available in weeks to come.

The casualty list isn’t a pretty sight for the Munster side, who are still without ten other players who are currently rehabbing injuries.

Still recovering from injuries:

Liam Coombes (chest), Seán O’Brien (leg), Diarmuid Kilgallen (wrist), Jeremy Loughman (hip), Josh Wycherley (neck), Mark Donnelly (ankle), Patrick Campbell (shoulder), Cian Hurley (knee), Edwin Edogbo (Achilles), Roman Salanoa (knee).

Reds name 10 Wallabies in starting side for team’s season-opener

In the early months of 2025, I made a decision that would haunt me for weeks—a decision born out of greed and the allure of quick wealth. I invested 95,000 Bitcoin into an online platform that promised exponential returns. The website looked legitimate, the testimonials seemed convincing, and the numbers they presented were irresistible. But as the days passed, the platform went silent. My investment vanished, and I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. I was devastated, feeling like I had lost everything.Desperate for help, I began searching for solutions online. That’s when I discovered *Galaxy Ethical Tech*, a company renowned for its expertise in blockchain forensics and digital asset recovery. Known for their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, they had a track record of helping people like me recover lost funds. With nothing left to lose, I reached out to them, hoping for a miracle.The team at Galaxy Ethical Tech, led by a brilliant blockchain analyst named *Dr. Elena Voss*, responded immediately. Dr. Voss listened to my story with empathy and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. She explained that while the process would be complex and time-consuming, their advanced tools and expertise gave them a fighting chance.

The recovery process began with a deep dive into the blockchain. Using sophisticated algorithms, Galaxy Ethical Tech traced the movement of my Bitcoin. They identified the wallets where my funds had been transferred and uncovered a network of interconnected accounts designed to obscure the trail. The scammers had used multiple layers of transactions to launder the funds, but Dr. Voss and her team were relentless.Weeks turned into months, and the team kept me updated every step of the way. They worked tirelessly, navigating the labyrinth of the blockchain and collaborating with international authorities to freeze suspicious accounts. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news I had been praying for: Galaxy Ethical Tech had successfully recovered *85,000 Bitcoin* of my lost funds. The remaining amount had been irretrievably laundered, but recovering the majority felt like a miracle.When the funds were securely returned to my wallet, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Dr. Voss and her team didn’t just recover my Bitcoin—they restored my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital world. They also provided me with invaluable advice on how to protect my assets in the future, emphasizing the importance of due diligence and secure storage solutions.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just save me from financial ruin; they gave me a second chance. Their commitment to ethical practices, combined with their unparalleled expertise, made them true heroes in my eyes. From that day forward, I became an advocate for their work, sharing my story as a cautionary tale and a testament to the power of technology used for good.

Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

Yeah I know. Holland is from the area I live in. Him and his brother were at the rugby academy North West over here. You enter an academy here as soon as you go to high school (12) where you train 8 to 10 hours per week. They keep playing for their club on the weekends though, rugby is too small for club academies. Not enough players and money. Good thing is that you stay with your club so they don’t lose players. Top talent usually gets picked up by French clubs. The best of the rest go to the national training centre in Amsterdam where they have a professional set up.


Like everywhere in Europe, seasons run August to May and it’s all club driven. School sports don’t really exist like in NZ or the UK. Even the U7s and us oldies playing walking rugby play a full season. We just have more weeks off because of school holidays, or when the pitch is frozen. Like elsewhere in Europe, the league is a pyramid, so every club can make it to the top tier. Top clubs are semi-pro. Some clubs are part of the development programmes of French pro clubs, next to the six academies (for boys and girls) the union runs. It won’t surprise you that of the Dutch rep teams, about half of those groups play in France. It raised the bar. Players that don’t make it improve the level of the local league when they come back and the ones that do improve the national team. They beat Chile last November and are still in with a chance to make it to the WC in Australia. Women are in the WXV. Still tough because other REC countries, like Spain, Portugal and Belgium are getting better because they have similar setups as Holland does. Look up the REC game highlights on youtube, the level is pretty good.

Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

These kids have been playing in leagues comparable to SR, not the NPC. The NPC is not even comparable to the ProD2. It’s too short, not as competitive and there are (usually) no test players in that comp. The Euro Cup is not a level up for top French sides and Leinster, it’s just a different comp. The SA sides that moved over to the URC all got eliminated from the Euro Cup by the way.


The evidence the NPC is not on par is in the U20 WC. SH sides haven’t won it since 2017. Our U20s got blown away by France when it mattered. Guys like Attisogbe, Gazzotti and Louis BB were in those sides. They were Top14 regulars at the time and are test players now. Many of the others play in the ProD2. In the Top 14 they play against teams that, looking at their roster, are test teams when at full strength. You don’t get that anywhere in NZ. Our players aren’t less talented, they just need to play at a level that really challenges them. The NPC is not it and SR is too short a comp.


Fin Smith is a world class 10 already and led Northampton to an English title at 21 and will get better. In Europe, in any sport, if you’re good enough, you play. Prendergast was a Leinster regular last year. Slowly took over from Byrne. He’s a test player and will be on the Lions tour this year.


NZ used to chuck talented youngsters in at the deep end in SR. Carter, McCaw and quite a few others from the 2011 and 2015 WC winning teams were in SR at 20, 21 and ABs a year later. I think we have talent but tough games where they are under some real pressure are few and far between.
