Adam Beard is poised to confirm that he is leaving Ospreys at the end of the season and is on the brink of confirming that he is signing for Top 14 outfit Montpellier on a three-year contract.

The 6 ft 8 in Wales and Lions lock has been having talks with his home town club about signing a new deal, but media reports across the channel claim that he will be moving to the GGL Stadium next season.

Beard, 29, joined the Ospreys in 2015 and has made 129 appearances, including five this season, after recovering from an ankle injury that caused him to miss the summer tests against South Africa and Australia.

    Springbok wing Makazole Mapimpi accepts his World Cup fate

    Springbok wing Makazole Mapimpi accepts that his time on the playing field is nearing an end.

    He was hurt after landing awkwardly in the Ospreys’ 61-24 defeat by the Bulls in April and has been a regular under Warren Gatland, winning the last of his 56 caps against Italy in last season’s Six Nations.

    Ospreys boss Toby Booth, who is also leaving the club at the end of the season, recently admitted that he wasn’t surprised that Beard had been attracting interest from big-spending French sides.

    “Everyone knows that Adam Beard is an absolute quality operator and has been influential for me and my time here. He’s a brilliant leader, a brilliant line-out forward who prepares the team.

    “So I’m not surprised he generates interest. The challenge is always to try and keep your best players,” the former London Irish head coach told the BBC.

    Welsh regions are increasing the salary cap to £5 million next season but don’t have the resources to stop players from moving to France who can offer significant pay raises.

    Beard, who won one Lions cap against South Africa in the 19-16 Cape Town defeat in August 2021, would still be eligible to play for Wales and will be the second Welsh lock to play in the Top 14 with Will Rowlands at Racing 92.

    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.
