The United Rugby Championship outfit announced the signing of the 29-year-old on Thursday, a day after confirming the arrival of fellow South African World Cup winner Trevor Nyakane from Racing 92, which was also reported by RugbyPass.

Esterhuizen started his professional career with the Sharks, joining them as a teenager in 2013. He signed for Harlequins in 2020, and has become a fan favourite at the Stoop, winning the Gallagher Premiership in 2021 and was voted the RPA Players’ Player of the Year the following season.

    Rassie Erasmus on Sam Warburton’s claims that Ireland are the best team in the world

    Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus says he didn’t pay too much attention to Sam Warburton’s comments about Ireland being the best team in the World.

    Harlequins announced the 16-cap Springboks’ departure at the beginning of March, where he said: “I’m very grateful to Harlequins for providing me with the opportunity to return home to South Africa and be closer to my family. It’s been a difficult decision but I’m very thankful to the Club for working through the process with me.

    “I have loved my time at Quins, the Club has played a huge role in my development and career achievements, and I have forged incredible memories and great teammates.

    “I want to thank the fans for their fantastic support, playing in front of The Stoop every week is very special and I look forward to my final few months at the Club. Once a Quin, always a Quin!”

    The Sharks are in the middle of a strong recruitment drive ahead of next season, as they hope to turn around their fortunes. They currently are rock bottom of the URC table with only one win all season.

    Meanwhile, Harlequins sit in second place in the Premiership and have an Investec Champions Cup round of 16 clash with Glasgow Warriors to look forward to in April at the Stoop, which Esterhuizen will no doubt play a key part in.

    I get the feeling that somehow the sharks could recruit the entire book team and still come last this URC season. 😂

    Antoine Dupont undergoes surgery on injured knee ahead of long absence

    Rugby incident, happens scores of times in a game. Dupont wasn’t even hit with much force, Beirne just clears him and force is added from behind from Furlong.

    We can’t have special treatment for France just because their star is the one who gets unlucky.

    There is already a lack of clarity around actual Written decisions and how they differ from bans.

    For example, Mauvaka the official written decision states Mauvaka to have made a ‘reckless’, ‘deliberate’, shot ‘to the head’ of a ‘player in a vulnerable position’ on the ground. That’s a high level entry ban of 10 weeks. However, the press release did not show ‘reckless’ or ‘vulnerable player’ ticked alloweing Mauvaka to enter at the 6 match mid range.

    Similarly Ntamack’s written report showed that it was a ‘reckless’, ‘head shot’ with ‘injury’. The injury was a fully displaced nose bone and Ntamack apologizes for the injury in the written report. This should give Ntamack an entry level of 6 weeks but in the Press Release ‘Injured’ is unticked meaning Ntamack gets away with a 4 week entry ban. This is not counting the fact that the world knows he deliberately injured Thomas.

    No. France have been abusing the system for years, recently spreading disinformation about the Ringrose ban in order to undermine confidence in the process.

    Giving France even more special treatment is not the answer.

    Scammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around

    It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.

    I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.

    GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.

    GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.
