Cipriani inspires Gloucester as Bahanan denies Bath, Vunipola scores on Saracens return

Matt Banahan in action for Gloucester against former club Bath.

Bath were denied victory over local rivals Gloucester by a familiar face, while Billy Vunipola marked his return to action with a try for Saracens on a busy Saturday in the Premiership.

Tom Dunn scored two tries as Bath fought back from a 21-0 deficit to lead 31-24 going into the closing minutes, but former player Matt Banahan denied them with a score created by a sensational no-look pass from Danny Cipriani.

Billy Twelvetrees kicked the conversion to level the scores at the Rec, securing Gloucester – who recorded an impressive win over Northampton Saints in the opening round of fixtures – a dramatic 31-31 draw.

Bristol Bears looked to be on course for an upset when they led Saracens 18-13 at half-time, only for the reigning champions to hit back.

Liam Williams scored a 25-minute hat-trick off the bench as Sarries claimed a bonus-point triumph against the top-flight new boys, though the hosts were aided by the dismissal of Bristol’s George Smith for a dangerous tackle early in the second half.

Replacement Vunipola also touched down on his comeback from a broken arm suffered on England’s tour to South Africa in June, while international team-mate Owen Farrell booted four conversions and a pair of penalties.

Last year’s beaten finalists Exeter Chiefs have started the campaign impressively, their second successive bonus-point triumph coming away at Wasps.

Sam Simmonds and Henry Slade grabbed two tries apiece as the Chiefs pulled away in the second half to win 42-31.

Wasps’ cause was not helped by the loss of England forwards Brad Shields and Nathan Hughes to injury, the former seeing his debut cut short following a collision with Exeter scrum-half Stu Townsend.

Leicester Tigers began life under Geordan Murphy with a 49-33 victory over Newcastle Falcons, giving their former player a successful start as interim head coach after he replaced Matt O’Connor at the helm.

The Tigers led 40-19 by the interval, Jonny May collecting a brace of tries while George Ford also crossed once, helping the fly-half finish the contest with a personal haul of 29 points.

Irish provinces in danger of being left further behind, in their own country

In today’s digital age, scams in the crypto space are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Even experienced users can be deceived by what appear to be legitimate update prompts or wallet notifications.In my case, it all started with what looked like a routine wallet update notification. I received an email that appeared to come from the official source of my XRP wallet provider. It was well-crafted, complete with the company's branding, tone, and even security warnings urging users to act quickly to prevent potential vulnerabilities. The message informed me that a mandatory security update was required to continue using the wallet, with a direct link to download the latest version.Wanting to stay ahead on security and seeing no red flags at first glance, I clicked the link and followed the update process. The website I was taken to was a near-perfect replica of the actual wallet site same layout, same logos, and even a live chat box that appeared to respond like a real support agent. It asked me to enter my wallet credentials, including my recovery phrase, under the guise of syncing my existing wallet to the new version. Trusting that this was a legitimate procedure, I complied.Within minutes, my wallet was drained.I refreshed my wallet balance out of instinct and watched in real time as my 650K XRP disappeared, transferred through a series of unknown addresses. The sickening realization hit: I had been tricked into handing over access to my assets. The email, the website, the entire update process it was all part of a well-coordinated phishing scam. After the initial shock, I began researching recovery options and came across TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT WebSite https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ , a firm that specializes in tracing and recovering stolen cryptocurrency. Their team is well-versed in the intricacies of blockchain technology and has a strong track record of helping victims reclaim their digital assets. From the moment I contacted them, their professionalism and confidence gave me a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation.They began by meticulously tracking the movement of my XRP across multiple wallets and exchanges. XRP poses unique challenges for traceability due to its blockchain structure, which while public is difficult to interpret without specialized tools and experience. Most recovery firms might have declared the situation a lost cause, but TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT leveraged their expertise, contacts, and timing to turn the situation around. In the end, they successfully recovered a significant portion of my stolen funds, TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT support team is available WebSite. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ (E-mail: Trustgeekshackexpert @ fastservice . com) (TeleGram.Trustgeekshackexpert)

‘It’s a great outcome’: Joe Schmidt explains Wallabies coaching handover

CALL OR VISIT TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY ON WhatsApp    +15617263697   Or  Telegram  +15617263697  Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam, a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered. As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness. Amid this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, Tech Cyber Force Recovery provided a clear breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds. When I contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery, their team approached my case faster. They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process. Ultimately, they succeeded in recovering my entire investment, restoring my financial stability, and rekindling my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital age. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about vigilance and the importance of seeking help when navigating the dangerous currents of cryptocurrency. Tech Cyber Force Recovery has proven to be a beacon of hope for those ensnared in the web of crypto fraud, demonstrating that recovery is indeed possible with the right support and expertise.
