Veteran Steenson secures short-term Exeter extension

Gareth Steenson is hoping to help boot Exeter to Gallagher Premiership glory after the veteran out-half secured a short-term contract extension that will see him play out the remainder of the 2019/20 season with the club.

The 36-year-old Irishman was due to retire from playing in June. However, the stoppage of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic has meant Exeter won’t resume their title challenge until the middle of August.

With Steenson set to join the club’s coaching staff in 2020/21, Rob Baxter has decided to keep him available on his playing roster as Exeter prepare to pick up the thread of a season that still has nine regular-season league games and a Champions Cup quarter-final left to play.

    Delighted to get the chance to get another run in the Exeter colours, Steenson said: “I’m thrilled about the new deal. Obviously, it’s been a strange time for us all. Being at home, training on an individual basis, not knowing if I was going to come back playing again. It’s nice to know I will get the chance to finish off what we started.”

    “I’m incredibly fortunate. I’m sitting here at the age I am, still doing what I love. I have had some incredible days here. I was very fortunate that I had a testimonial game a few years ago and the number of people who turned out that day, those bits and pieces I have on the back burner.

    “If I don’t get another opportunity to run out in front of a full Sandy Park, it will be disappointing, but it is something I can live with. I’ve been very lucky, like I said, and I know there are guys out there who had things taken away from them, so for me, I can’t really have any complaints.

    “Personally, I’m really excited to have the chance to finish this season off and be in a position where I can finish this season off. Obviously, with the whole Covid thing coming in, it’s maybe taken the options away of having crowds come in. 

    “If that’s the case, I’ve had big days and I can still have an opportunity of winning a couple of titles before I go, which will be incredible. That’s a real big driver for me now and to be part of the squad trying to do that is great.”

    'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

    As a seasoned entrepreneur, I prided myself on due diligence. But when an associate introduced me to a "high-yield crypto platform" backed by polished presentations and fake regulatory licenses, I let my guard down. The platform promised 25% monthly returns through "algorithmic trading." I poured in $775,000 USDT, For months, the dashboard showed soaring profits. Then, the withdrawal requests stalled. Excuses turned to silence. The platform’s domain expired. My heart sank: I’d been ensnared by scam. The loss was paralyzing. My family’s future hung in the balance. Lawyers warned that cross-border crypto scams were nearly impossible to prosecute. I spent sleepless nights scouring blockchain explorers, tracing my USDT to anonymous wallets, but hit dead ends. Then, a cybersecurity contact mentioned Dexdert Net Recovery, a firm with a reputation for untangling sophisticated crypto fraud, desperate, I reached out. Dexdert’s team responded promptly, exuding professionalism. They asked for transaction records, wallet addresses, and scammer communications. Their transparency stood out—no upfront fees, just a contingency plan explaining their approach: tracing blockchain transactions, collaborating with exchanges, and leveraging legal channels. Though complex, it reassured me. Weeks passed with regular updates. Dexdert’s experts traced my USDT to a wallet flagged for scams. Dexdert’s Net Recovery persistence was unwavering.  They worked tirelessly and successfully recovered my funds, My $775,000 USDT was secured in a new wallet, verified by my own eyes. Relief washed over me—I’d regained control, they restored my faith. To others, I urge: research thoroughly, question "too good" offers, and act swiftly if scammed. While not all stories end like mine, Dexdert’s Net expertise turned my despair into hope—a second chance I’ll never take for granted.

    CONTACT THEM, DEXDERT NET RECOVERY ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

    Richie Mo'unga lifts lid on 2027 Rugby World Cup ambitions

    Yeah, that’s what I took you as meaning. I also took that to mean “a 10” that you can win a would cup with. And no, that’s not a Beaver level player I’m picturing.


    I think NZ could have many Beaver level players that could go to a world cup, not in a play style perspective I mean, just as in players that only command a couple of facets in their expertise and experience. Robinson and Millar could both control a game with their boot like Merths. Jacomb, Harkin, and Godfrey can present the ball at the line like Cruden. Kemara might be a bit more of a vision player like Richie and learning from /playing with Havili. With even a couple of u21/u20 youngsters that could charge infront of those names in SR.


    But I’m saying despite that diversity actually showing great 10 development in the country, I can’t see those players developing enough skill sets in time to outshine Pero’s dependability and composure (only going on his AB performances here though) or the experience and knowledge that Barrett would bring to a group (or as you say someone with the experience of Richie). So the WC 10’s will be those three players.


    Fully agree re consistency, this is why I see Dmac being a good option by the time 2027 comes around. Last year was his first at playing 10 in test matches, and his second year over all (well he had one SR season 6/7 years ago too). If he can just get to grips with how to bailout (pass to the 12 and don’t carry it/take it into contact yourself!) safely when plays disrupted and develop a bit more trickery/deception with his option taking, he’ll surpass Mo’unga in general, and even some of Carters play. I’m not sure Barrett was ever the type to mold his style whether he had stayed at full back, 10 or even on the wing. He just players like he did in the back yard and that’s it, it either (you either make it..) works or it doesn’t. It was completely apparent that he was never going to be as great a 10 as he was random backline player (he can’t pass far or kick accurately), so I think it’s perfectly fine to have used him wherever the team needs him. I’d agree though, that sort of flexibility indeed a) causes flexibility to be needed in team mates as well, and b) sets a bad example. Let’s hope it doesn’t get repeated on Pero and Dmac!
