Worcester and Clermont reach Challenge Cup quarter-finals

Worcester Warriors celebrate reaching the Challenge Cup quarter-finals

Worcester Warriors snatched a dramatic 20-18 win over the Ospreys to reach the quarter-finals of the European Rugby Challenge Cup and Clermont Auvergne beat Northampton Saints in a classic to qualify.

Stand-in captain Ryan Mills was the hero for the Premiership strugglers at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, scoring a drop goal right at the death to put Worcester through to the last eight for the first time in a decade.

Tries from Keelan Giles and Olly Cracknell and a Luke Price penalty put the Welsh region 15-7 up at the break after Jonny Arr went over to open scoring at the other end.

The Warriors led by two points following scores from Ollie Lawrence and Dean Hammond, who crossed soon after George North was sent to the sin bin, but Sam Davies looked to have won it for the hosts with a penalty six minutes from time.

There was a final twist, though, as Mills was on target from 30 metres out, striking a huge blow to the Ospreys’ hopes of qualifying from Pool 2 and putting Worcester through with one round remaining.

Clermont are assured of a home quarter-final after defeating Northampton 48-40 in a 13-try thriller at Stade Marcel Michelin, where the home side changed their strip at half-time due to a colour clash.

Teimana Harrison scored a hat-trick, but Wesley Fofana and Peter Betham claimed two tries apiece as Clermont made it five wins from five to guarantee their progress from Pool 1, leaving Northampton hoping to advance as one of three best runners-up.

It is all to play for in Pool 3 heading into the final round of matches after Connacht joined Sale Sharks on 17 points with a 20-18 home victory, David Horwitz scoring the decisive penalty in the closing stages.

Harlequins remain top of Pool 5 after Nick Fenton-Wells scored a hat-trick in a 65-9 rout of Enisei-STM, with Bennetton Treviso a point behind the leaders following their 38-24 win over Agen.

My Journey Through Loss, Discovery, and Recover/ Hack Savvy Tech


Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.
