'There's been a lot of stuff in the press' - Glasgow boss Rennie bracing for Saracens' retaliation after relegation news

Glasgow Warriors head coach Dave Rennie believes that Saracens will be ‘galvanised’ when they face Racing 92 in the Champions Cup tomorrow after the Londoners’ relegation from the Premiership was confirmed.

Premiership Rugby released a statement on Saturday evening saying that Sarries will be demoted from England’s top flight at the end of the season.

Mark McCall’s men are still a threat in Europe’s biggest club tournament, however, and they can deny Glasgow, who overcame Sale Sharks 45-7 on Saturday, a place in the quarter-finals by defeating Racing 92.

“I’m sure they will be highly-motivated, there’s been a lot of stuff in the press and they’re a proud club, so I think that will only galvanise them more tomorrow,” Rennie said. “They’re going to be tough to roll down there.

“We need a lot of luck. We were hoping Lyon might do us a favour (versus Northampton) and they didn’t, and now we need Toulouse to win against Gloucester and we need Racing to either keep Saracens to a draw or a loss, which is not going to be easy.

“We’ve done all we can do. I thought we played well tonight, we’ve played really well over the last month. It’s frustrating that we didn’t get five (points) last week (against Exeter), which would have put us in a pretty strong position.”

Sale, having competed in the same league as Saracens, were one of the teams affected by the Londoners’ breach and their director of rugby Steve Diamond gave his reaction to the news.

“I’ve just operated on 50 per cent of the salary cap for 10 years and managed to qualify for Europe in five of those 10 years, and it’s disappointing to know that a team have been cheating,” Diamond said.

“The powers that be have decided that it is obviously the right punishment so we get on with it.”

Glasgow’s victory over the Sharks condemned the Greater Manchester outfit to a fifth defeat in this season’s Champions Cup but Diamond was in a philosophical mood when looking at their performances, despite describing their European campaign as “poor.”

He added: “Europe’s a big competition but we didn’t have some players available for the first two games. Apart from today, we got bonus-points in the other games so it’s a learning curve for us. Glasgow have a proud tradition and they’re good in this competition.”

Glasgow's honest take on Sam Prendergast: 'I think they make it easy for him'

A few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube ad that stopped me in my tracks. It looked like a live broadcast of Elon Musk announcing Tesla’s “exclusive crypto project.” The production was flawless, professional, convincing, and eerily realistic. His voice, expressions, mannerisms everything matched what you’d expect from a real Tesla livestream.The ad promised massive returns if you “joined the project” by sending Bitcoin to a wallet address. I was skeptical at first, but the countdown timer, skyrocketing charts, and Elon’s confident pitch chipped away at my doubt. Eventually, I gave in. I sent $8,000 worth of BTC, thinking I was getting in early on a groundbreaking initiative.But just a few hours later, something didn’t sit right. I checked Tesla’s official channels. No mention of any crypto project. My stomach dropped.I rushed to a blockchain explorer and looked up the wallet address I’d sent the funds to. What I saw confirmed my worst fears: my BTC was being split and moved rapidly across multiple wallets in a process known as “smurfing,” a common money laundering technique. I had been scammed.In desperation, I searched for help and came acrossCHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYa blockchain forensics firm. Honestly, I didn’t expect much but I reached out anyway.
