Leicester Tigers scored seven tries to heap more misery on a struggling Newcastle Falcons side as they earned a 42-10 win at Kingston Park. After a scrappy opening, the Tigers began to apply pressure and took a 20-3 lead at half-time before earning the bonus point after the break.

Newcastle scored their first try when Leicester received two sin bins, but the visitors exerted their strength with a further three tries to bag a second win this season. The result handed the Falcons their 24th straight defeat in the Gallagher Premiership and they remain bottom of the table.

Leicester were without head coach Michael Chieka due to a one-match ban and the game was tied early on thanks to penalties from Jamie Shillcock and Ethan Grayson. The Tigers slowly began to build pressure and despite some solid defending from the Falcons on their own try line, a quick switch saw Shillcock offload to Ollie Hassell-Collins on the left flank to cross in the corner before the former added the extras.

Spurred on by their opening try, Leicester struck again five minutes later when another great pass from Shillcock played Anthony Watson in on the right for the wing to charge into space and touch down in the corner.

Shillcock missed the conversion before Newcastle burst into action with some good work to build the phases in midfield, but they struggled to gain any ground and after opting to kick a penalty, Grayson’s attempt whistled just wide of the uprights.

Leicester added their third try on the cusp of half-time after Emeka Ilione bundled the ball over the line on the left to earn his first Premiership try, but Shillcock was unable to extend their lead from the tee. The restart was then delayed due to a medical incident involving a fan during a half-time race down the pitch between supporters.

Leicester quickly picked up where they left off just three minutes into the second half when a quick pass from Joseph Woodward allowed Freddie Steward to crash over the line and earn the bonus point.

The visitors were suddenly down to 13 players after Watson was shown a yellow card and he was shortly joined by Hanro Liebenberg following a clash of heads with Kiran McDonald, who was replaced by Pedro Rubiolo. Newcastle took advantage and after some pressure on the try-line, Callum Chick eventually broke through to score their first try of the game on his 150th appearance for the club before Grayson converted.

The Falcons then had Jamie Blamire sent to the sin bin for a high tackle and Leicester quickly extended their lead when George Martin powered over the line in the right corner, with Shillcock converting for a 32-10 lead. Newcastle’s afternoon soured further when a loose pass was easily intercepted by Will Wand and he burst forward to ground in the corner before the Tigers added their seventh try through Liebenberg.

I enrolled in an online professional certification program for program development, which I believed would enhance my career prospects. After researching the program thoroughly, I paid a  fee of $7,300 USD, confident that the certification would be a legitimate asset to my resume. However, after completing the course and attempting to use the credentials in my job search, I quickly realized that the certification was nothing more than a scam. The company behind the program had falsified its credentials and provided no actual value. They offered a polished website, convincing sales pitches, and promises of job opportunities, but once I began digging deeper, I found numerous complaints online from others who had been scammed in the same way. Unfortunately, the organization was not just unprofessional, but fraudulent, offering no real support or resources to help with career advancement, leaving me feeling deceived and frustrated. Desperate to recover my hard-earned money, I began researching ways to hold the company accountable and retrieve my funds. It was then that I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a team that specializes in tracing fraudulent organizations and helping victims reclaim their money. After contacting them, I was relieved to find a team of dedicated professionals who understood the intricacies of recovering funds from such scams. They meticulously traced the fraudulent organization and its activities, gathering the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Within weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery was able to successfully recover my $7,300 USD. The entire process was seamless, and I was kept informed every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail were invaluable in navigating the complex world of online fraud and scams. Not only did I get my money back, but I also gained peace of mind, knowing that the scammers were being held accountable for their actions. As a resident of Dallas, I am grateful to have found such a reliable service in a time of need. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their commitment to helping victims of fraud are unmatched, and they offer a sense of security in the face of what could otherwise be a daunting experience.

Hurricanes vs Waratahs takes: The yellow wall in midfield, Tahs backs outshined

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
