Academy product's hat-trick helps Leinster to comfortable win over Glasgow

Rob Russell ran in a hat-trick of tries as United Rugby Championship leaders Leinster outgunned Glasgow Warriors 40-5 at the RDS.
A brace from winger Russell, adding to Dave Kearney’s opening try, had the hosts leading 21-0 at half-time. Ross Byrne, Ireland’s late goal-kicking hero against Australia, landed three conversions.
Glasgow, who had nine players back from Scotland camp, opened their account with 30 minutes remaining through Argentinian international Sebastian Cancelliere.
However, Leinster replacement Michael Milne bagged a 55th-minute bonus point try, and their eighth straight win of the season was completed by late efforts from Russell and replacement John McKee.
Leo Cullen’s men opened the scoring off some maul pressure, with Jamie Osborne’s bouncing pass putting Kearney over in the seventh minute. Byrne converted from near the left touchline.
A sublime piece of skill from Charlie Ngatai sent Russell over in the right corner just five minutes later, with Byrne making it 14-0.
Glasgow captain Kyle Steyn and Cancelliere then exploited some gaps in the home defence, but Luke McGrath came up with a crucial steal.
Cullen’s side conjured a second score for Russell, who slipped through after an inviting McGrath offload. Byrne nailed another difficult kick from out wide.
Glasgow had their moments, yet Cancelliere frustratingly knocked on and they were unable to punish a high number of penalties leaked by Leinster.
An eye-catching Oli Kebble break sparked the best out of Glasgow early in the second half. Following Ronan Kelleher’s sin-binning for a cynical infringement at a ruck, a Brown maul try was ruled out for a ‘flying wedge’ offence.
Cancelliere did register their first points in the 48th minute, on the back of an Alex Samuel surge through the middle, but Glasgow’s challenge gradually petered out.
From a quick tap, the returning Kelleher supported Milne as he piled over the line for Byrne to convert.
Some excellent footwork from replacement Chris Cosgrave teed up Russell’s third try in the 71st minute.
A sixth try followed for the Irish province, McKee latching onto a breaking ball after a kick over the top from Osborne. Byrne’s younger brother Harry converted.

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
