'We're kind of getting bored of having no games at the weekend and training incredibly hard'

Stuart Hogg feels victory in France could kick-start a “special” World Cup campaign for Scotland. The Scots begin their warm-up programme on Saturday night in Nice in the first of four Test matches to prepare for the tournament in Japan.

Gregor Townsend’s side are playing double-headers against both France and Georgia to get ready for their first World Cup encounter against Ireland in Yokohama on September 22.

Scotland’s training squad have been in preparation for about two months with 40 players now competing for seats on the flight to the Far East. And Hogg is itching to step up the pace and get back into action.

The full-back said: “We’re getting ready to fire into the games now, we’re kind of getting bored of having no games at the weekend and training incredibly hard.

“But this week it’s completely different – it’s back into Test week, a chance to pull on the Scotland jersey and go across to France and hopefully get a good win and set us in a good place to just kick on and hopefully achieve something special at the World Cup.”

Crusaders CEO on the next stage of club's dramatic turnaround

Last month, I faced a nightmare scenario when the entire balance of SOL I held in my MetaMask wallet was abruptly transferred to an unknown address. One moment, my funds were secure; the next, they’d vanished without a trace. I frantically reviewed my transaction history, double-checked permissions, and scanned my devices for malware, but found no obvious breach. Panic turned to despair as I realized my savings accumulated through years of cautious investing were gone. Desperate for answers, I contacted MetaMask support, only to be told that their team couldn’t reverse or trace decentralized transactions. They speculated that my wallet had been compromised, possibly via a phishing scam, a malicious dApp, or a leaked recovery phrase, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I’d gone wrong. Feeling helpless, I combed through Reddit threads and crypto forums, where I stumbled upon TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ , a service hailed for its success in reclaiming stolen assets. Though skeptical after all, everything I’d read suggested crypto theft was irreversible I decided to take a leap of faith and submitted my case details, including transaction IDs and wallet addresses. Their team responded within hours, outlining a meticulous plan to trace the stolen SOL across the blockchain and collaborate with exchanges to intercept the funds. Over the next week, TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT provided daily updates, revealing how the thief had funneled my SOL through a labyrinth of wallets to obscure its trail. Using advanced blockchain forensics, they identified patterns linking the movement of funds to a known exchange. By working with legal teams and platform security, they flagged the stolen crypto before it could be liquidated. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated the complexities of the blockchain, piecing together the puzzle of my stolen assets. Against all odds, their relentless efforts paid off: within 9 days, they recovered 100% of my stolen SOL and safely redirected it to a new, fortified wallet. This experience taught me the importance of vigilance in the crypto space and the value of seeking help from experts when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. I learned that while the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency offers many advantages, it also comes with risks that require constant awareness and proactive measures.
