There has been a lot of online love for Turner-Hall following his Harlequins return

Former teammates of newly appointed Harlequins academy coach Jordan Turner-Hall have reacted positively to the news that he is to return to the Stoop after five years. The 32-year-old retired from professional rugby in 2015 at the age of 27 as a result of a hip injury.

This brought an end to an illustrious career in south-west London in which he was at the centre of Quins’ glory days. This included starting both the Challenge Cup victory over Stade Francais in 2011 and the Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers a year later. 

He also earned two England caps during his career, both in 2012 under Stuart Lancaster. His hard-running style of play was hugely popular during his playing days where he made 181 appearances, and many of those who played with him have lauded the commitment he showed to the club.

Recently retired Harlequins prop Mark Lambert, who played alongside Turner-Hall throughout the centre’s career, led the responses to this announcement. He said on Twitter: “Can’t overstate the role Turner-Hall played in the Harlequins squad in his playing days. He was at the heart of the club and wears his heart on his sleeve. The young men of Quins academy are lucky to have him.”

Likewise, former England and Harlequins prop Paul Doran-Jones described Turner-Hall as “great young English coach in the making”.  

The players’ views were also echoed by Harlequins head coach Paul Gustard, who said: “It’s fantastic news to have Jordan returning to the club as he takes the next step and progresses in his coaching journey. As a player, Jordan was a physical, uncompromising centre who gave everything. I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of commitment, energy and passion to his new role within our academy set-up.

“During the interview process, he was articulate, energetic and clearly emotionally attached to the club. He showed a great depth of knowledge and acumen, but it was also clear he is very driven to add more skills to his coaching toolbox. It’s important in players’ formative playing years they have good role models and people that genuinely care.”

HOW TO RETRIEVE STOEN BITCOIN DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION


I never imagined that I would be one of those individuals who would lose access to their Bitcoin wallet, but there I was looking at my computer screen in utter horror. I was a freelance graphic designer and had invested $250,000 in Bitcoin throughout the years, hoping that it would be the gateway to my financial future. I was proud of myself for being careful with my investments and online security. But one day after I updated my laptop, I realized I could not access my wallet. My password was gone, and in case that was not enough, my recovery phrase was nowhere to be found as well. My heart sank. I felt like my world was collapsing.

The thought of losing all my savings was simply unacceptable. I tried everything—backtracking, searching through old notes, and scavenging through my emails—but all in vain.

Desperation kicked in, and I started looking online for any kind of solution. That's when I came across DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION on Reddit. I was hesitant at first—how was it possible for anyone to recover something as secure as a Bitcoin wallet? Was this some internet scam? But after reading hundreds of positive reviews from individuals who were in the same predicament, I thought I would try.

Their staff was extremely professional and reassuring right from the time I called them. They heard me out patiently and explained the process of recovery step by step, in detail. They did not make any false promises but told me that they would do their best to recover my wallet. Their honesty and transparency filled me with hope.

The procedure was seamless and well-coordinated. The team was in touch constantly and kept me updated, which eased my worry. In a week's time, I got the message I had been fervently wishing for—they had retrieved my wallet successfully. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was filled with relief and thankfulness.

DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION were not just highly professional but also very humane and sympathetic. They understood the psychological toll such a disaster can take and handled my case with utmost sensitivity and professionalism. They saved my financial future, and I owe them eternal gratitude.

If you are ever unfortunate enough to lose access to your Bitcoin wallet, I would highly recommend DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION They turned what seemed like an impossible mission into a success story. I am eternally thankful for their services and the peace of mind they restored to my life.

Stat chat: Clear favourite emerges as Sam Cane's All Blacks successor

Agree for Savea to be successful at 7 he will have to remodel his game, again. But he has shown the ability to do that with his move from 7 to 8. Savea will have to focus more on the roles of a 7 e.g. tacking and cleaning out. The benefit will be that Savea can take advantage of running opportunities, in a similar way that Michael Jones used to. How Savea is used e.g. as a primary runner, or as a support runner will come down to the attack coach. But having a 7 who is a genuine running option will provide the All Blacks with another option. That option could be unutilized as a support runner. If put into the gap Savea will be very hard to stop.

 

With Sititi at 8 (the best position to make use of his skills) the key will be who is chosen at 6, ideally someone with bulk and a hard work ethic. S Barrett could fulfil that role. I would choose Finau as he has proven ability to effect very heavy tackles. But it’s an open race at the moment.

 

Agree, taking in account multiple factors in analysis makes the analysis a lot more difficult. There are so many more potential outcomes to take into account. Getting this done in time to meet publishing deadlines would be difficult. I guess it’s up to the readers to speculate on things like that.

 

Papali’I is definitely in the conversation. He is a proven high volume tackler, at times he has shown a very useful running game. Also, at 1.93m/113kg he has the size to cover at 6 and to be used as a jumper in the lineout. With the Blues in a slump, how he performs in the next few games could be a good indicator, if he steps up he could regain a black jersey.

 

Sotutu could be used at 6 or eight. If the trio contained Sotutu I’d put him at 6 as Sititi seems to be a more slightly more elusive runner that is slightly better at setting up others. Sotutu could fit into the trio at 6. A key work on for Sotutu is to lower his tackle height.
