The Josh Adams centre experiment called off by Cardiff Blues

Josh Adams and Joe Cokanasigaa

Josh Adams’ move to centre will have to wait after the Cardiff Blues were forced into a late change for their crucial Challenge Cup showdown with Leicester Tigers.

Adams had been named at 13 for the clash, but has been moved back to the wing.

The Blues said: “We can confirm a late change to the starting XV. Hallam Amos has been ruled out meaning Ben Thomas comes into the centre and Josh Adams moves back to the wing.

“Harri Millard named on the bench.”

Cardiff Blues head to the Midlands sitting in second place in Pool 5, and are currently five points behind the Gallagher Premiership outfit, with two rounds of European action to be played.

Leicester Tigers will guarantee a quarter-final spot if they get the better of the Welsh outfit at Welford Road in Pool 5.

The highest total for a best Pool runner-up in the Challenge Cup is 24 points (Cardiff Blues 2014/15 and La Rochelle 2016/17) while the lowest is 17 (London Irish 2015/16, Brive and Stade Francais Paris 2017/18).

Matthieu Jalibert of Bordeaux-Bègles is the top points scorer in the competition with 50 while Adam’s wing colleague Owen Lane, who scored a hat-trick against Pau in Round 4, and Leicester’s Jonah Holmes lead the try-scoring charts with four each.

Lane was not considered for selection against Leicester Tigers this weekend as a precaution due to a minor knee complaint.

After four rounds, Cardiff Blues 10 Jarrod Evans leads the way for most defenders beaten with 20.

Changed Cardiff Blues team: Matthew Morgan; Jason Harries, Ben Thomas, Rey Lee-Lo, Josh Adams; Jason Tovey, Lloyd Williams; Corey Domachowski, Liam Belcher, Dillon Lewis, Filo Paulo, Josh Turnbull, Shane Lewis-Hughes, Josh Navidi (capt.), Seb Davies

Replacements: Ethan Lewis, Brad Thyer, Dmitri Arhip, James Ratti, Will Boyde, Olly Robinson, Tomos Williams, Harri Millard

France's Peato Mauvaka cited for yellow-carded Ben White incident

I’m talking about the ref. He could have issued a straight red with no need for TMO intervention. It was an obvious red. He looked at it a few times and then gave a yellow and referral. Passed the buck. Pivotal time of the game as well so France got lucky with the call.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

I can’t thank CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS enough for their incredible work in recovering my hard-earned $520,000 in crypto. When scammers hacked into my account and stole everything, I was absolutely devastated—it felt like my world was crumbling. I’d worked so hard for that money, and in an instant, it was gone. After searching desperately for a solution, I stumbled upon CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS. Their stellar reputation for retrieving stolen crypto gave me a faint glimmer of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation.

From the very first contact, their team was nothing short of amazing. They were professional, empathetic, and took the time to explain the recovery process in a way I could understand. I never felt left in the dark—they kept me updated at every step, which made all the difference during such a stressful time. Their skilled programmers worked tirelessly, tracking down the scammers and piecing together the trail of my stolen funds. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they’d successfully recovered my entire $520,000. It was a moment of pure relief and disbelief.

This experience was a harsh lesson in cybersecurity, but it also showed me that there are trustworthy experts out there who can help. CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS didn’t just recover my money—they restored my faith in justice. I’m beyond grateful for their expertise and dedication. If you’ve fallen victim to crypto theft, I can’t recommend them enough. They’re the real deal: efficient, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them—they turned my nightmare into a miracle.

I Lost $213,000 Worth of ARB Tokens After Falling victim to an Address-Poisoning Scam

My name is Patrick Cox, and my ARB tokens worth $213,000 were wiped out in a single transaction by an Address-Poisoning Scam, and this is how I was able to recover it.

I have been into crypto for over 9 years and I have never been reckless or naive when it deals with crypto, however, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam while I was trying to make a single transaction to my other wallet and it took the services of Morphohack Cyber Service to be able to recover it successfully.

Morphohack was able to detect the scammer had distributed the stolen ARB tokens into smaller wallets, but it took Morphohack just 72 hours to fully recover every single one of the stolen tokens successfully. This just shows the rise of address spoofing and poisoning that has continued to exploit traders' negligence during transactions. I highly urge everyone to be more cautious and avoid falling victim to such scams and if you do need the service of Morphohack, you can easily reach them via the following:E-mail: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM WhatsApp: +1 (213) 672 4092 WWW.MORPHOHACK.WIXSITE.COM/CYBER

France's Peato Mauvaka cited for yellow-carded Ben White incident

Here is his testimony on Ntamack written decision showing he (and Ntamack) knew exactly the difference between that case and Ringrose (red card before a fallow week yes/no). They also knew the only player to benefit from such a situation was Willemse in 2024.

https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/discipline

“It is a quirk of the Six Nations that there are two fallow weeks where players can be released back to their clubs. Establishing that a player was “expected to play” for his club in the first fallow week is very difficult in the context of red cards / citations following Six Nations match week 1 fixtures. The biggest variable – performance in match week 2 – is not yet known, and without that information France Men’s Head Coach cannot say definitively (nor is he required to say under the terms of the FFR / LNR Agreement) whether after match week 1 a player would have been designated for the first fallow week. The “expected to play” wording requires a great deal of speculation in the context of a Six Nations match week 1 fixture so far as it concerns France players”

'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

You will never get another team to tour again. As an Irish supporter it was a good achievement for that team to win a test series in NZ. But it put a target on our back for the RWC. Jordan said that NZ strategy a year out turned to beating Ireland given the RWC draw and that tour. It was the right strategy and bar a red card in the final should have earned NZ a RWC title.


But was it worth Ireland’s while in terms of RWC prospects giving NZ that IP on us?

France may be thinking that they have three wins against NZ and giving them a full look at their set up may do more harm than good. As an Irish fan I know that winning that tour did not gain Ireland any respect from NZ fans. The opposite. So I don’t see many clear gains for France sending the A team especially in view of the fact that they have a series win in NZ already.

'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

This is no disrespect from France. Our key players just play way too much, much more that any other team (in NH at least). It wouldn't be safe for them to play 3 more games at the highest level on the other side of the world. And I’m not sure that exhausted “premium players” would do better that “fresh” young lads.

'I don't see them being that dominant force that they have been'

Not that I necessarily agree with him in this particular case, but I think Youngs is generally rated.

Not an England fan, but guy’s won four 6N titles (including one Grand Slam), won a Lions’ Series, and has a bronze and a silver from RWC, on top of being a test centurion, and the most capped player for his country.

Suffice it to say, that only yesterday he’s forgotten more about rugby, than you or I will ever know.

Mick Cleary: 'England are back among the heavyweights.'

Borthwick is doing a fine job. He had less world class players than Eddie Jones & Lancaster to build his group. He built a gameplan wich is maybe not the most enjoyable to watch, but quite efficient. And he is slowly filling the gaps in the team with young and (very) promising players like Finn Smith, and by repositionning players where there is a need for the team (Freeman, Marcus Smith…). The gameplan is starting to evolve toward a more ambitious strategy. It reminds me the building of the french team during Galthié's first term. As a frenchman, I really hope the draw for WC27 won't put the french and the english team in the same pool...

'I don't see them being that dominant force that they have been'

Not sure I’d write Ireland off after one unsuccessful 6N campaign. That’d be a bit premature.

They really only looked very good in one game (vs. Scotland), and against both Wales as well as Italy, they looked pretty poor, but having the ability to win matches in which they play below their standard is a measure of a great team.

Ireland did not look great, they looked average at times. Yet they still won 4 out of 5, and that’s nothing to scoff about.

Could George Ford have 'bolted' his way into Lions contention?

he’s definitely one of the best fly-halves in Britain and Ireland, but if he does go with the Lions England might be stuck with only Marcus as a valid option at 10 against Argentina, which would be a disaster!
